[Asterisk-Users] Non-PRI T1

[David Sampson]

We do have a PRI on order but have an immediate need so band-aid in the
mean time.  This circuit has actually been hooked to a channel bank for
years with just analog phone and I stuck Asterisk in the middle about 3
months ago.  I setup the standard S extension and it is handling
incoming no problem.

One other question - how do I get outgoing calls to select last
available channel instead of first?

Thanks,

Dave

You should get a PRI T1.

The minute you get close to capacity on this line you will run into 
timing issues with incoming and outgoing lines competing with each 
other. This problem will only happen when you need it most, which is the

worst failure case.

Unless your usage never spikes above 50% usage (counting incoming *and* 
outgoing) on this line you will regret not using a PRI.
