[Asterisk-Users] Connecting Asterisk to a Toshiba Strata system
I'm interested in setting up Asterisk as a voice mail system for our Toshiba Strata CTX100 PBX. Our current voice mail system connects to the PBX with four analog extensions. Does anyone have information on how to integrate this kind of system with Asterisk? I've looked at the legacy integration section of the Wiki, but it doesn't seem to have anything about Toshiba systems. --- David Brodbeck, System Administrator InterClean Equipment, Inc. 3939 Bestech Drive Suite B Ypsilanti, MI 48197 (734) 975-2967 x221 (734) 975-1646 (fax)

You shouldn't have any problem doing this with the CTX either. Assuming you don't have SMDI integration with your voicemail (you didn't state that you did), you just need the phones to send trailing digits, and you need to negotiate the lighting of voicemail lights on phones. All manageble from Asterisk. As for hardware, you mention you only need 4 ports now. You could get a tdm400 card, but you would max that out with the first install. Like most of us here who have messed with Asterisk, this is only the *first* application that you have. There will be more, I promise! Do yourself a favor and look at a T100p and an Adit 600 with 8 (or more) FXS ports. You're intial investment will be about $800 bucks, but it will prepare you to do more with the Asterisk->Toshiba integration. Good luck, and do some wiki reading. -Chuji

[Asterisk-Users] Connecting Asterisk to a Toshiba Strata system
I have a Digital Toshiba Strata PBX with an IP Card (Model BIPU-M2A) that supports 16 connections and I want to Integrate Asterisk via this card but I found out it supports MEGACO+(I believe share a lot with MGCP). I am not sure how to go forward with this. (Note: The proprietary IP Phones work via this card) I am familiar with with IAX, SIP but no MGCP but If anyone has any idea I am willing to study it. Can anyone help me? I also need clarification a statement I read somewhere that Asterisk is Call Agent not and a User Agent when it comes to MGCP Thanks, Michael A. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
