Hi, Does anyone have any experience connecting Asterisk to a Meridian system using an ATA2 and x101p? The basics work -- I can make outbound calls, receive inbound, and use flash to transfer calls, but certain things do not work, specifically with calls from internal extensions. - Does the Meridian/ATA2 pass any kind of callerid info? We do not have external callerid, but I'm not even getting extension numbers. - Calls involving an external line can use DTMF, but calls from another internal extension cannot. This is a problem for voicemail! I've tried "*809" but it hasn't helped. Is this a limitation of the Meridian which won't pass DTMF internally? - Calls from internal extensions do not detect hangup properly, external calls are ok. So if an internal extension calls to leave a voicemail, the recording goes on until I do a sofft-hangup from the CLI. The plan was to use Asterisk as a voicemail server, but those three issues make this setup completely useless for that! Thanks, -Gary

You need to try and find a VMI if you can. It's designed for voicemail integration (although you still won't get the CLID).
