[asterisk-gui] Hardware setup for channel bank

[Andrew Latham]

Ryan

I have seen this type of setup quite often.  While I see it being
phased out by new products and cheaper VoIP Phones I still see it.  I
could also imagine that TDMOE usage could benefit from individual
channel identification...

my two cents...
