I want to setup a asterisk server with two T1 spans (two TE110P cards). The server will have one card connected to the PRI and the other will connect to our Norstar Meridian ICS system. I want to have a very simple dial plan for the context that the PRI card will be assigned to something like this. Note that our telecom provider sends final three digits of the phone number: SPAN 1 Channels 1-23 g1 context: pri_incoming SPAN 2 Channels 25-48 g2 context: norstar_ics [pri_incoming] exten => _XXX,1,Dial,ZAP/g2/${EXTEN} My questions are: Will I need to set the callerid before routing to the next span, or will the three digits remain intact.? and Has anyone tried this? and if so do you forsee any problems i will run into? This is all theroey in my head right now, since I am awaiting the second cards arrival. Thanks.

It would be better however to get a dual port T1 card rather than 2 single port T1 cards. Otherwise, you may have 'timing' slips between ports. You should then derive the timing from the PRI coming from the telco. Will the T1 to your norstar be wink start e&m using robbed bit signaling (rbs)?>The server will have one card connected to the PRI and the > other will connect to our Norstar Meridian ICS system....> > Will I need to set the callerid before routing to the next span, or > will the three digits remain intact.?You should not need to explicitly set caller id since it will be passed from the PRI. If the telco allows you set caller ID for a group of numbers, you will need to just be sure to specify the correct 3 digits for outgoing calls. Would the Norstar pass this information to you?> and > Has anyone tried this? and if so do you forsee any problems i will run > into?I have not done this exact thing but something similar. I don't foresee any problems that can't be worked through. Don Pobanz
Assuming the outgoing T1 to the Norstar is a standard T1 that accepts ANI and DNIS all have to do is exten => _XXX,1,Dial(Zap/g2/*${CALLERIDNUM}*${EXTEN}*,,r) This will redial the caller id (ANI) and the 3 digits Dialed (DNIS) to the Norstar T1 in the formst *ANI*DNIS* I did the same thing for a while to convert and PRI to a T1 into a Mitel system that could no do PRI without a very expensive upgrade. ---------- From: Forrest Beck[SMTP:jonforrest.beck@gmail.com] Reply To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 10:18 PM To: Asterisk Users List Subject: [asterisk-users] T1 Passthrough I want to setup a asterisk server with two T1 spans (two TE110P cards).

We have a solution like this working just fine for almost a year. We are using qurad card for that. It is a good idea to have both PRI on one card. CLID shouldl remain the same.
