[Asterisk-Users] Re: T100P to Merlin Legend - Using only 8 B-channels?

[spectro]

No much look trying to do this so far. The problem resides on the
Merlin Legend side thought. It doesn't accept to set the new T1 card
as Legend-PBX or Legend-NTWK (I get an error beep when I try).

I'm not really sure if this has to do with exceeding the 80 trunk
capacity. I know this is OT but if anybody has solved this kind of
issue I will appreciate some help.

Victor Perez
