To all Asterisk guru's... Here is my question. 1. Asterisk PBX - 5 Trunks / Incoming lines 2. 1 Building - 3 Companies (sharing phone system) Ok that's the basic layout. Here's the low down - Each company will have one dedicated channel for there company. The other 2 channels they want to be set aside as rollover's (rotary). That is not an issue. Where my concern is, how can I specify if they call Company A and primary line is busy and it rolls over to one of the spare lines, how do I designate which Auto Attendant is played. If it was certain channels set aside for certain companies that would not be an issue. Any one have any ideas on how to accomplish this. Is there a way to look and see where the call was originally designated for. Thank you, -gcc

The line signals a call, you pick up, X number of digits are passed in DTMF, and you wink the line and then answer the line with the appropriate extension signaled. You set these DID numbers up as a nice Goto that jumps to the appropriate companies start extension in the appropriate context. This way also all 5 lines can be used by any company, or you can place counters that would let you play a message saying something and then hangup to free the line up for your remaining companies. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
Ok.. To my understanding / memory DID only supports inbound calls. If this is the case would you use DNIS vs DID? -gcc -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Steven Critchfield Posted At: Thursday, November 06, 2003 10:08 PM Posted To: Asterisk User Group Conversation: [Asterisk-Users] 5 Channel / Trunk ??

What is the best way to bring in analog lines into the system I have seen the Wildcard X100P but I need to bring in 5 lines and have several extensions is there not a multi Analog line card available. Larry D. Black CEO Black Sheep Computing, inc 2312 E Matthews Jonesboro, AR 72401 870.910.6969
Ok.. Thinking about your comments... Example - Have 1 DID line and the rest loop-start lines. The DID line would have all phone numbers needed. Last 4 digits passed via DTMF. Extension created using the last 4 digits passed. Then do a goto that jumps to the appropriate company extension playing the auto atendant. Then outbound voice could just go over any available line.... -gcc -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Steven Critchfield Posted At: Thursday, November 06, 2003 10:08 PM Posted To: Asterisk User Group Conversation: [Asterisk-Users] 5 Channel / Trunk ??

Adtran seems to have their ports split out into 4 ports per card. So you can mix and match in multiples of 4 lines each up to 24 channels in some of their chassis. Carrier Access has 2 types of chassis. The ADIT 600 chassis allows you to mix and match in multiples of 8 channels per card. The Access Bank Chassis are interesting because they have 12 channel cards, but are either all FXO, all FXS or a mix of 8 FXS and 4 FXO. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>

To my understanding / memory DID only supports inbound calls. If thisis the case would you use DNIS vs DID? DID is a type of line and a type of service. DID the line is inbound only and has traditionally been used for fax servers and things like that. DID the service can be sent over an E&M Wink T-1 as DTMF and also as D-Channel information down a PRI. Technically I think that it is called DNIS on an E&M T-1 but it is functionally the same thing.
