You cannot make it invisible, because the D-channel cannot be shared. However, PRI channels are allocated dynamically, so doing what you want to do is trivial using channel group assignments and count checking before initiating a dial operation in either direction. Just a matter of defining the logic and writing some dialplan magic to do it :-) The trick is understanding that the limitation is not a specific group of channels, but a maximum number of simultaneous channels in use. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Thanks for the responses. I guess the next step is to get a Digium TE210P.

Yes - there are 2xPRI cards based on the CologneChip HFC-E1 chip and the A102u cards from the Canada based manufacturer SANGOMA: I personally prefer the Sangoma cards because of the good support (wich we needed only very little compared to our problems with other brands) and the stability we experienced in our setups. On top of this they are field upgradeable and work in 3,3v and 5v PCI slots and low profile cases.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Partial PRI pass thru?
I'd recommend the Digium dual port cards - generation 2 card are excellent and the support we receive superb. And it supports Digiums support and development of Asterisk - Sangomas contribution is token if any.Rob On 12/13/05, Christian Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Matt Burleigh schrieb:> Thanks for the responses.

>I'd recommend the Digium dual port cards - generation 2 card are excellent and the support we receive superb. >And it supports Digiums support and development of Asterisk - Sangomas contribution is token if any. Unfortunately I cant speak for the 2nd gen. cards as we haven't used them. The 1st gen. TE4xxP cause us a lot headache. HDLC errors and other strange behaviour wich we - at least until now - don't experience with the Sangomas. We made some not-so-good experiences with the Digium support but that may be not the ususal case. Thanks to the great community we solved much of our problems but still our Digium installations are far from stable. I usually prefer to support smaller companies and it may be true that buying at Digium helps improving Asterisk. Thats why I would even pay a higher price for a Digium card that works just as good for us as the Sangomas. But - at least in our installations - they don't and I can not afford the hours and hours of solving problems anymore. Of course we will test the 2nd gen cards and check if they work better for us if we get the opportunity.

Analog boards are a different story but I am not sure of another solution for these cards.
