Hello We have around 50 phones in our company, and I am playing with the thought to gradually go over to using sip services and ip-phones internally. However at first I would liked the Asterisk just to sit between the phone line and the Panaosnic, so I can take out one lin/number at a time to use ip phones. I am new to Asterisk, and haven't done much configuring of the PBX either. So I also wonder how difficult such setup is. We use today 4 BRI lines that connects us to the telephone network, would I then need 2xTE410P to put the Asterisk between the Panasonic and the phone network?

You will either need two quad-bri cards in the asterisk box or 1 TE410P in the asterisk box and a Panasonic PRI card for the KX-TD1232. The TE410P is a quad PRI, not a quad BRI. We use PRI on all links. Peter

Amund, I can't speak for the Digium ISDN card, but in Europe the Eicon Diva Server card and AVM C4 server cards work well for connection to to exchange lines. For what you want to do you need ISDN cards that operate in "NT" and/or "TE" mode. Assuming that you are using all 4 x BRI (8 channels) in the 1232 then you need a 4xBRI card facing your Panasonic exmulating the exchange and a 4xBRI card facing the exchange.>From recollection the AVM C4 cannot emulate the exchange, soyou probably need theb Eicon Diva Server card: http://www.eicon.com/worldwide/products/MediaGateways/disv4bri.htm Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amund Nygaard" <AMN@anovo.no> To: <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 1:56 PM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and Panasonic KX-TD1232 Hello We have around 50 phones in our company, and I am playing with the thought to gradually go over to using sip services and ip-phones internally.
