[Asterisk-Users] Hybrid T1 Service (WAS: Channelbank Recomendation and GS102 question)

[Ulexus]

Ollie grabbed my notes of this on his excellent site: 
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+setup+success+2


As far as for configuration, see that page and the snips below.

from my /etc/zaptel.conf:
--
### Frame to NEGIA (Span 1)
nethdlc=1-24
#
### T1 to Greensboro1 (Span 2)
e&m=25-28
nethdlc=29-48
#
### T1 to Eatonton1 (Span 3)
e&m=49-52
nethdlc=53-72
#
### PRI to BellSouth (Span 4)
bchan=73-95
dchan=96
#
### to Local PBX
fxoks=97-100
fxsks=101-102
--

Notice the nethdlc channels.  Those are for my data.  In this example, I have 
a frame-relay connection to NEGIA (http://www.negia.net), our ISP, on the 
first T1 span, channels 1-24.

Then, on the second T1 span, the first four channels are E&M voice trunks, 
while the remaining 20 channels are for data, bound to an HDLC device.
Likewise for span 3.
Span four (channels 73-96) are the PRI to BellSouth.

That's pretty much it for the "Asterisk" side of the data config.

You do have to make sure to uncomment KFLAGS+=-DCONFIG_ZAPATA_NET in the 
zaptel/Makefile .   And make sure that you have HDLC support defined in the 
kernel (in the WAN network interfaces section).

By the way, if you are concerned about the Asterisk box's power, this is all 
running (voice and data routing) on an Athlon XP2500+ with 512MB RAM... about 
an average desktop-range system.

Hope this helps,
