I know this topic has been covered before - I just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly. | ------------------- | | | | T1 | Channel Bank | | ----------| | | | T1 Cross | | | | | | | | ------------------- -------------- | Asterisk | | | | 2 T1 Cards | | | | | | | -------------- With this setup what should the zaptel & zapata configs look like..... zaptel.conf - span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs E&M=1-24 (I am going to be doing DID/DOD Lines) zapata.conf - signalling=fxo_ks context=blah group=1 channel => 1-24 Here is where my confusion comes in. Under Zaptel.conf it appears that you are just configuring the first card. If this is so, do you not need to configure the second card with any type of signaling? Then on the channel bank what type of signaling is configured there? I am going to be setting this configuration up in the next couple of weeks and just want to make sure I have the configuration and concept correct. -gcc

The cost isn't that much more incrementally and then leaves you twice the expansion in spare. For configuring the cards, you just need to make a new span declaration. and then configure the next 24 channels. For the signaling, you would probably want to loopstart with disconnect supervision, in asterisk this is listed as kewlstart. This will make sure that when you hang up the line asterisk will know it. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>

One quick question.. If I only have 5 channels coming in over the T1 but have all 24 extensions used... It would look like the following. span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs span=2,1,0,esf,b8zs e&m=1-5 fxoks=25-48 signalling=featdmf channel => 1-5 signalling=fxo_ks channel => 25-48 -gcc
