I'm ordering a PRI T1 for use with Asterisk and a Digium Wildcard TE405P. The provider is asking me a number of questions about how I want to configure the line. Here goes: 1. Dial Tone - No, Yes - Precise, Yes - SCC 2. Framing - SF, ESF 3. Line Coding - AMI, B8ZS 4. Signaling Type - Ground Start, E&M, Loop Start w/Ring, Loop Start w/o Ring 5. Pulse Mode - DTMF, MF 6. Outpulse Start - Wink, Immediate, Seizure 7. If Seizure then - Origination, Digit Collection. I'm not sure of the correct answers to any of these. I do know that I want to be able to get caller ID and the number dialed for the application that I'm building. I think from other things I've read on the list that I want B8ZS and E&M with Wink. I'm not sure of those and I have no idea on the others. So, please help me out if you know. Thanks. -Scott -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you are truly ordering PRI service (which is the more powerful of the two) then these questions don't apply :-)

There are a lot of other knobs to fiddle with for a pri. :-) Peter
Thanks for all the info. I talked with them again this morning and I found someone very knowledgeable. I think we should be good to go now. I'll let you all know in about 10 days. -Scott -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
