Hello, I'm researching the possibility of using VOIP (SIP) with an existing PABX system. Ideally, the setup would be to dial an outside line through the PABX (that would actually link to the the VOIP gateway). At this point I would prefer not to purchase a hardware-based VOIP gateway. I would prefer to use a software-based gateway for research & testing purposes. Could anyone please describe a simple setup? Naturally the connection to the gateway would have to be Austel approved. I have seen references to the Netjet ISDN cards? I am having difficulties in finding information with regards to Austel compliance. Has anyone had experiences with such setups? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

You don't need Austel approval for that, only if you connect directly to Telstra. Anyway, Voicetronix is an Aussie company that makes 4, 6 and 12 port analog boards which work with Asterisk ... http://www.voicetronix.com.au I also seem to remember having read about some Digium board having obtained Austel approval quite a while ago, so you may want to ask one of Digium's resellers in AU about that ... http://www.austechpartnerships.com/atp/ rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

Definitely talk to the helpful people at ATP, in the meantime, I would suggest one of the following options, in this preference order (my personal preference), though it also depends on volume of calls. TE4xxp (quad PRI E1/T1 with austel approval on the 3.3V version) Fritz! card, or whatever it is called. (Single BRI with austel approval) TDM04B (Quad FXO port card, I think it is austel approved also) Failing the above, I would get some sort of sipura/cisco/grandstream ATA device. Regards, Adam PS, I have no connection with ATP except that they have helped me out more than they needed to a number of times so far.
>I don't quite understand what you need Austel compliance for if all youwant to do is link to a PBX.

Could someone please describe what might be required for the following setup? - I am researching the use of VOIP SIP technology with an existing PBX. What would be required to allow users on the PBX to call directly to a SIP phone over IP? I would imagine that there would need to be a "gateway" attached to the PBX, the gateway would then route the call to the SIP phone. The gateway would also need to resolve extension numbers to an actual IP. Can Asterisk do this? Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin on Asterisk Mailing Lists [mailto:benjk.on.asterisk.ml@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 11:32 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] PABX & VOIP Gateway On Tue, 14 Sep 2004 10:34:51 +1000, Phil Stevens <phil.stevens@cydn.com.au> wrote:> I'm researching the possibility of using VOIP (SIP) with an existing > PABX system.
