similar to: Pinouts for T1/E1 crossover cable WAS "RE: whatcable to connect a legacy PBX to a TE410P ?"

I for one think it is a great idea to buy a book with hard earned money and wait a few days to a week just to get an answer to a question that is freely available on the internet immediately. Hard pressed to think of anything in the "book" that is not on with wiki with more up to date and useful information. -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Lopez

I have used cross-connect wire from the spool to make T1 crossover cables with RJ45 ends. All that matters is that pin one goes to four and two goes to five on both ends. ________________________________ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com on behalf of Andrew Sent: Sat 4/22/2006 2:51 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: Pinouts for T1/E1

The "telco guys" probably did something non-industry standard and reversed send and receive in the jack that they plugged the CAT5 into. Sure it works, sure it is easier, sure it is not the correct way of doing things.

I agree. I haven't had a problem using CAT-5, even for long runs, however it's not a real T-Carrier cable and I didn't know how old the PBX is.

At Sangoma we do quite a lot of back-to back T1 and E1 connections. T1 is not a very fussy connection, as the baud rate is only about 750 kbps. In our experience, for error free communications you can use the following rules of thumb: Up to 50 ft: Flat patch cable Up to 500 ft: Ordinary twisted telephone cable Cat 5 may be overkill unless you are going hundreds of feet. David Yat Sin

I was once told by a lineman that the cables they use didn't have that many twists in them because it wasn't needed, and that the extra twists would effectively use more cable and thus cost and weigh more than triple what they do now. He told me that with the number of twists in the Cat 5 cable it would cancel out any interference, but he also stated that the effective length was

Can't anyone stop self-promotion and tell the poor guy what he needs. A T1/E1 X-over cable using an RJ-45 (8-cond.) is pinned out as follows: 1 - 4 2 - 5 3 - NU 4 - 1 5 - 2 6 - NU 7 - NU 8 - NU NU = Not Used I have not in my experience seen any problems with using a Good Quality Cat5 vs. Cat 3 (telco standard) cable for X-connects. YMMV, but you should be fine. As far as the shielding

My telco used cat5 as well for the demarc to CPE. It's also with noting that many channel banks, such as my Atlas, and zapata.conf itself also have parameters to allow you to tune the gains to compensate for cable signal loss. I've never had to touch them, and my CPE is about 300 feet from the PRI demarc (with an ordinary Cat5 cable connecting them)

Have you thought about making them agents, they would both be reachable by dialing there agent number then, and I know only one agent can be logged in at once. Just a thought. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of asterisk-users-request@lists.digium.com Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2006 8:26 PM To:

Hi, this is probably a stupid question but can someone point me to where I can find the pinouts for the connector at the back of the TDM2400P card from Digium. I am assuming this is some kind of telecomms standard but I need to connect to 8 existing analogue lines and therefor need to wire this connector to a patch panel or R11 jacks. Also most of the docs do not mention this card - am I

Hi, Digium's E400P has RJ45 conector and my E1 link has BNC concetor. Could someone tell me the cable pinouts to make this conection? thanks Eduardo

I'm connecting a T1 PCI card to a Nortel Option 61 switch T1 card. My Sangoma A102D shipped with 2 T1 cables - which I assume are straight through. Do I need to make crossover cables for this scenario? Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Say I had a crossover cable that connected a Mitel SX200 to a TE110P and the pinout was done as such: 1 - 4 2 - 5 5 - 1 4 - 2 (the 5 and 4 are transposed on the left side) Instead of the proper way of: 1 - 4 2 - 5 4 - 1 5 - 2 What would the results be? We have had the former as our cabling for a few months and the connection has been fine. Slip errors here and there. But we have had major
