Pardon the newb question and all, but this is my first real experience with phone systems, let alone VoIP and Asterisk.
I'm building an office space for a former employer and we are considering Asterisk as the phone system there. But, I've never set up an Asterisk system before so I've got a couple of questions about the required hardware.
The network architecture is pretty simple, we have an incoming T1 (into an adtran box). There is a 24-Port switch and a 24-Port patch panel for the network. The office needs 10 phones and they have 5 workstations. I was looking at building a server with a WCT100P card and using Asterisk on it, and using Cisco 7905G IP phones. Now, my question is this, do I need anything else for this set up to work? The IP phones plug into the lan like everything else, each has it's own IP address and appears on the network. If I run a T1 line into the T100P card how does incoming and outgoing calls work? The T1 can be broken up into as many voice/data channels as needed, and the company has existing phone and fax numbers.
I'm a network guy, not a phone guy. Is there any other piece of hardware I need between the PBX and the T1? Or anything else I'm leaving out that makes the phones work with Asterisk?
