[Asterisk-Users] Digium Wildcard T1 Compatibility

Hi,

I have a quick question about the T100P. I've used the card before in a
PRI setup and it worked great. I'm now trying to figure out a setup for
another company that gets services from Verizon. They offer what they
call a flexgrow T1 where they say the voice lines are delivered as just
standard POTS channels. Will the wildcard handle this kind of T1 or is
that something you would need to break out into separate lines and go
into POTS cards?

Thanks,

--Dan--

Sounds like you need to ask Verizon as to how they deliver the lines and
how where they consider the dmarc. If it is just a chanelized T1, then
it will work fine with a T100P if they consider the dmarc to be the T1
cable. It is also possible for the line to be terminated by a
channelbank provided by Verizon and it would then drop analog ports to a
punchdown block that would be the dmarc.

Dan,

According to the info I've read this service terminates to a channel bank.
Verizon will bond from 4 to 12 channels for high speed internet
connectivity.  The remaining channels would appear on the channel bank as
analog POTS.

Dan , 

What is the device you connect to?  Verizon appears to be 
all over the place depending who the T1 service actually
comes from.

for what it's worth, we were told to use RJ48C (Std Ethernet Cable)

from what I understand zapata.conf only comes into play when asterisk
is running.  According to digium, the only config that matters for hdlc is
the zaptel.conf.  In this case asterisk is not running.
