[Asterisk-Users] possible OT - ADIT 600 question

A quick look in the Wiki or even a Google search (saving Critch the 
trouble here) shows that the Adit 600 (with a T100P) is an excellent 
match for Asterisk:

How do you mean? RJ11? RJ45? You have to install these, and run cable 
from them to your punchdown block -- which is where the Adit connects to 
your extensions.

> c. where can I find help for configuring it?

The Carrier Access site is a good place to start. The Wiki covers topics 
regarding channel banks and Asterisk.

Carrier Access has these details for the asking.

If you don't mind my saying, unless you are pursuing a career in 
telecom, your questions here might better be served by hiring an 
Asterisk or telecom contractor to do this for you.
