[Asterisk-doc] Connecting to a PRI

[Gene Naden]

Can anyone tell me how the channel numbering works for E-1 connections? I
know that the Zapata channels index from one rather than zero (Zap/1, Zap/2,
etc.). But my reference says that E-1 channels, or time slots, are numbered
from zero.

I have asked Digium for a sample zaptel.conf file for E-1 but they have not
responded yet. I am wondering if the following settings would be right (for
a single E-1)

bchan = 1-15,17-31
dchan = 16

or possibly:
 dchan = 0,16

with the corresponding Zapata channels Zap/1 through Zap/15 and Zap/17
through Zap/31.
