[Asterisk-Users] Best way to connect asterisk to an traditional PBX
Hi list, we want to connect asterisk to an traditionnal PBX (EADS 6550/Matra). People from telco told that they can't connect two PBX's using E1/T1 or only with QSig signaling. I wanted to use EuroISDN. In this case, it was me told that VN6-VN7 would be used. The PBX has a spare ADQ card installed on which we would connect. Has someone a such working setup? Is it working well? More generaly, could you please tell me how you're connecting * to an traditional PBX, what you think is the best solution, which signaling you're using and which card(s). At the moment, the two PBX's are connected through 2 TDM cards, one 4 FXS the other 4 FXO. Our goal is to have a max of 30 lines available and available in the same time. Location is in France. Thanks for your feedback. -- Daniel

Sounds to me like your phone vendor is talking out of his arse. You should be able to place a crossover cable between your * box and your pbx. They both think the other is a phone company. I've done this with Avaya Definity G3's a few times now and it works fine.
