[Asterisk-Users] Legacy PBX integration

[Lacy Moore - Aspendora]

Hmm...  In my case, it could be just dumb luck.  I found some instructions
on setting up DID on my pbx, and started that.  Part way through, I wasn't
sure what the rest of the instructions were talking about and felt I was
getting in too deep.  So, I decided to see what would happen if I just tried
it.  It worked.  Since this is only a temporary solution until we move
completely off the pbx to Asterisk, I felt like I didn't need to find out
why it worked, just be thankful that it worked.

It sounds like your system is just answering the line and not paying
attention to any DID information.  I was able to find a lot of information
on the tek-tips.com forums for the Merlin Legend.  You may try a search on
there and see.

Was DID working in the past, or have you just added it with the addition of
the Asterisk system?
