[asterisk-users] Newbie Question about E1

[Luar Roji]

Hi everybody. I'm about to ask a newbie question, be warned!

I have a NEC 2000 IPS PBX connected to a E1. 

Now I want to set up an asterisk, with some digium card connected to that E1.
(suggestions about the card? I'll have maybe another E1 more).

The "newbie question" is.. How can I connect the asterisk PC with the PBX? I
don't know so much about E1, so I don't know if a E1 card in the PC can do
as a telephone company, or you can't do that.. I'm clear with the question?

I'll make a little diagram:

This is what I have now.


+-------+    +-------+ ---> phone 1
| ANTEL |----|NEC PBX| ---> phone 2
+-------+ E1 +-------+ ---> ...

What I want is:

+-------+    +------------+   +-------+ ---> phone 1
| ANTEL |----|Asterisk box|---|NEC PBX| ---> phone 2
+-------+ E1 +------------| ? +-------+ ---> ...

(ANTEL is my local phone company)

Thanks!

Another not very related question.. this NEC PBX says "Internet Protocol
Server". Is there a way to connect it to the asterisk?

Thanks again!
