Dear All, I have bought a digium TE205p in order to move our E1 pri from a siemens pbx to an asterisk server platform, I have already gathered the data needed to configure the card but I am troubled by one thing that seems unclear on all the documents I read. The E1 is currently inserted in a modem and from the modem goes out a cable to the siemens pbx so should I take the E1 from that modem or take the E1 directly from the provider, plus is there any special pin assignment. Your Help will be very much appreciated. -- Thx MAG -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Maybe you mean a CSU/DSU? If it is a CSU/DSU or "the box that the telco owns, take the cable coming out of it. Plug it into your asterisk box and see if you get a green light. I suspect you will since it is working with your Siemens box. If not, make an E1/T1 crossover cable. Pinout is: 1 -> 4 2 -> 5 Thanks, Steve Totaro Thanks, Steve
Dear Steve, Yes I did mean a csu/dsu I will try your suggestion and update the results. Thx MAG Steve Totaro wrote:> Mohamed A.
