		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.

	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 

	  

	  

 

Right, the TDMoE virtual zaptel configuration as pointed out by Colin
Anderson's post. 

 

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.
