[Asterisk-Users] Exposing Zap Channels on Server A to be Used ByServer B
Robert, Essentually I want to be able to have Server B dial the extensions connected to server A as well as route calls to the outbound route on Server A. Server B will have little to no knowledge of what is on Server A. I just want it to dump the calls off. For some reason I keep thinking this was a PRI type of thing. Like there was a module that loaded up as a fake PRI that your Asterisk box could use to connect. Thanks, Wiley ________________________________ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Robert Goodyear Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 9:51 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Exposing Zap Channels on Server A to be Used ByServer B On Jun 24, 2005, at 9:07 AM, Wiley Siler wrote: Hello All, I remember there is a way to use two Asterisk servers and allow one to see a virtual trunk that makes it so server B can use the ZAP channels on server A. Does anyone know where I can find this? I am racking my brain trying to remember the terminology. It was like creating a 24 channel virtual T1 connection from server B to Server A that allowed server B to not have any ZAP hardware. Anyone know what I am talking about? I am searching the Wiki now but not hitting... Setup: Server A has TMD lines and Voip.providers Server B has only some extensions, needs to connect to Server A and use its ZAP channels FWIW I've just been IAX2 trunking over to my other server with the TE110P in it; works very reliably and I can do a failover to VoIP if, say, all channels are busy or something else bad happens. It can also give me two-way (inbound AND outbound) failover with timeout forwarding from my VoIP provider, where if after xx seconds my external inbound IAX2 trunk does not pick up (either by design or ISP failure) the call is routed to my Cox DID, then internally IAX2 trunked across to my PBX. I'm sure all this can be done with the TDMoE method, but I was just throwing this at you so can make an informed decision.

But I also saw the note about 2.6+ kernel issues, so I threw my idea at you. As far as dialing in to Server A's extensions, either plan them so they don't conflict, or prepend a digit to push calls into the right context on Server A when coming out of Server B.
