I am hoping to replace my Nortel 8x24 switch with Asterisk. Right now my cabling comes from my outside phone box into my office and into a punchdown block and leaves the punchdown block as an amphenol connector which currently plugs into the Nortel swicth. A second amphenol connector them plugs into the switch and extends to another punchdown block that I believe carries the lines throughout the office to Cat 5 plug in which the individual phones plug into. Do I plug the ampehnol connector that represents the incoming trunk lines into the 1-25 pin amphenol connector on the adit 600 and then run an amphenol connector/cable from the 26-50 pin of the Adit 600 to a RJ11 patch pannel? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Richard __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Easier than ever with enhanced search.

Yes you have two sides on an 824. The CO side which is the analog lines coming in and the station side where Nortel phones plug in. Where the lines punch down on the block is not necessarily where the lines are going to need to be punched down to connect to the Adit or even an FXO card. What type of cards are in your adit? There are too many variables to answer simply. More info please.

Then I take 8 lines from the telco and punch them down from the telco BIX to the Adit's FXO ports on the D50-BIX cable. Then I punch down the FXS ports on the Adit's BIX to the Norstar. (let's see if I can draw this out, view in monospace font) [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||] TELCO |||||||| |||||||| [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||] Adit600 |||||||| ........ 12 34 56 78 [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||] Nortar So you have three BIX strips. The Adit600 wiring is pretty straightforward, I've shown it with 8 FXO and 8 FXS in slots 1 and 2, respectively. The Norstar system has really weird wiring, this is from memory so check with your installer manual. Regards, Andrew

The Asterisk server are connected with a T1 crossover cable.> There are too many variables to answer simply.
