asterisk users - Jan 2009 - Patton SmartNode 4638 and ISDN2e

Hello
 
Does anyone have any experience with configuring BT (British Telecom)
ISDN2e lines to work with Patton SmartNodes?
 
I have a Patton SmartNode 4638, which is now connected to 3 x ISDN2e
lines - and in turn connected to our internal LAN.  I'm having huge
issues configuring the SmartNode to successfully "see" the ISDN
channels
- and to be honest, I'm lost as to how to then route those calls to
Asterisk?  The instructions, user guide and website all assume a
knowledge of the technology/terminology that I just don't have :-(
 
Has anyone had to do anything similar, and if so would you be able to
provide some guidance in plain English?  There's a beer in it for the
person that can help me get an incoming call from the ISDN2e line to my
Asterisk SIP phone first  - and another beer for getting a call from my
SIP phone, through Asterisk and out over the SmartNode and ISDN lines
:-)
 
Thanks in advance
 
Phil

We thought it non-natural to configure a smartnode using web server but it
the end, we made it.
Basic steps are :
configure ISDN and Ethernet interfaces separately,
then configure SIP gateway,
then SIP default service,
then tie both interfaces to each other.

Another tip is I used 4.2 software, which is the one supported.

Cheers
