asterisk users - Jan 2011 - Does Asterisk support NI-1 (DMS 100) and NI-2 for T1s?

Hi list,

For a client I am setting up a system which will use T1 PRI from Primus, who
offer only NI-1 and NI-2 protocols for D-Channels. Previousely I have only
used switchtypes euroISDN and National. Although the documentation says
Asterisk does support NI-1 ans NI-2, but wanted to get your opinion if you
have used these protocols on an Asterisk box and if there were any things to
consider. If anybody has experience with Primus, it'll be more helpful.

Thanks

Zeeshan A Zakaria

I'm using NI-2 with no problem (but haven't tried all features).

 

You say you've used National-wouldn't that be NI-1 or NI-2?

"switchtype = national" IS NI-2. See the description in zapata.conf:

; Switchtype:  Only used for PRI.
;
; national:       National ISDN 2 (default)
; dms100:         Nortel DMS100
; 4ess:           AT&T 4ESS
; 5ess:           Lucent 5ESS
; euroisdn:       EuroISDN
; ni1:            Old National ISDN 1
; qsig:           Q.SIG

So you use "national" for NI-2 and "ni1" for the obsolete
NI-1.

Hope this helps.

Yes, it does. Bell provides the same as well and it works with Asterisk.
