Hi, At the moment, libpri /w Asterisk 1.6, Dahdi 2.1, is not supporting NT-Point to multi-point mode. Here (France), most small PBXes are connected to ISDN through BRI trunks in PtmP (don't know why but it seems the general case). So this NT-PtmP function would be very helpful to easily slide an Asterisk box between an existing PBX and the network. Does the same case apply elsewhere (UK, Germany, Italy, ...) ? Do you think this is needed ? Regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you are connecting to BRI lines then you should be TE - not NT. You can run as TE ptp or ptmp with mISDN (not sure about DAHDI yet - not tried the new release).

I have piggy backed a few PBX's off the back of a B410P (4 x BRI) card with no problems. The ones I used for testing were the Avaya IP Office, Siemens Hi-Path/Hi-Com and various old Panasonics. All I had to do was to turn on the 100ohm termination on my S0 ports (set as NT on the B410P of course). I actually have a similar set-up at the moment on our main asterisk system. 2 x BRI trunks (ports 1 & 2 set as TE ptp - for the DDI's etc) and 2 x BRI S0 bus (ports 3 & 4 set as NT ptmp) running and ISDN modem on each (good old Fritz! ones). So it is possible to run ptmp on NT ports using mISDN - just remember to turn on 100ohm termination on the ISDN card if you only have one device per port.

I would say the 'norm' in the UK is TE-ptp and NT-ptp or NT-ptmp (depends what is on the end of the port(s)). If using NT-ptmp, then a 100ohm resistor is usually needed in the circuit somewhere - aka ISDN balun - (unless the card has this facility - like the B410P has).
