[asterisk-users] TELUS British Columbia PRI Settings

[Jeremy.Hellstrom at synovate.com]

Thanks for the additional comments, I though the timing was odd as well
as I had thought it would be the provider that set the timing but it is
currently working here and apparently at other sites.

I'll let everyone know if it turns out to be incorrect somehow.

received an email containing the cheat sheet TELUS employees use which I
thought I should share, though quite a few settings will be obvious to
Asterisk gurus.

Both have timing=0 . That is: that device sets the timing on the T1
line. Shouldn't it be '1' instead?

Note that anything after that 'channel=>' line has no effect on those
channels.

As of 1.6.0 . On 1.4 the default is 'national'.
