Hi. I've searched the archives and found nothing regarding collaborating Asterisk with a Panasonic PBX (TD1232 to be exact) Here's my question: Can I use a Wildcard X100P to connect an outgoing line jack (on the Panasonic) to Asterisk, so I can route calls from the PBX to Asterisk, and calls from Asterisk to the PBX? On the hardware page for the X100P card is says it's great for handling incoming calls. It says nothing about making outgoing calls. Is it at all possible to use that card to make outgoing calls from Asterisk to the PSTN lines? Thanks.

Note that the KX-TD1232 analog lines do not provide caller id, at least ours do not. Another option could be to connect Asterisk using an internal isdn extension. We have a few isdn modems hanging off our pbx that way and they get callerid etc so Asterisk should be able to as well. We interface Asterisk to our pbx using a pri line instead so I have not tried using a bri line myself. Peter -- Peter Svensson !

This means purchasing a card for the PBX, for no small fee, and is undoable as there's no expansion room left in it. I have a couple of Analog line extensions free, and we thought to use them so we can make calls to our remote office via VOIP. Like so: |----------- HQ -------------------------| |------ Remote Office -----| Phone Extensions ----- PBX ----- Asterisk ----------- IP Phone The IP phones will be at the remote office. And users in HQ will just use the regular extensions, and dial 8 (for instance) as a prefix to get one of the two lines connected to Asterisk from the PBX. My question is can I use X100P cards to connect Analog lines from the PBX to Asterisk, and utilize both calls from HQ to the IP Phones and calls from the IP Phones to HQ this way.

Caller-id is lost, as X100P is not a digital panasonic phone. I'm now moving to a different layout: asterisk is the PBX, routing calls to the Panasonic using a Cisco ATA 188 box.

Now the PBX is maxed out (8 lines, 48 FXS ports, plus 8 or 16 "SMART" FXS ports)> > > The IP phones will be at the remote office.

DTMF? > http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+bounty+non-Bellcore-CLID[Shoval Tomer] Analog lines can provide CallerID for a fee, but the Analog lines card on the PBX doesn't handle it, nor does any non VOIP PBX hardware that's sold here. Caller ID with PBXs is available only for Digital lines.> Do you use the TD-1232's 'T1' interface, then? > - with what PRI card? Digium or Cisco or what? > - does it support Q.931?Sorry, Even though the PBX is a digital one, we don't use any digital lines, and only a couple digital extensions.
