[Asterisk-Users] Adit 600 - Getting Dial Tone

[Joshua McClintock]

Ok so to be clear about what I need to have setup:

Asterisk side:  Configure T1 card like this (it's the 2nd T1 card I have in
the system).

span=2,1,0,esf,b8zs,yellow
fxsls=25-48

Use FXO signalling in my zapata.conf

[channel-bank]
signalling=fxo_ls
context=cb-in
group=2
channel=> 25-48


Adit 600 side:

-Setting slot a.

set a:1 up
set a:1 fdl none
set a:1 lbo 1
set a:1 framing esf
set a:1 id "T1 to Asterisk"
set a:1 linecode b8zs
set a:1 loopdetect on
set a:1:1-24 side drop
set a:1:1-24 type voice
set a:1:1-24 signal ls

-Setting slot 1.

set 1:1-8 signal ls
set 1:1-8 txgain -3
set 1:1-8 rxgain -6
set 1:1-8 impedance 19

-Setting slot 2.

set 2:1-8 signal ls
set 2:1-8 txgain -3
set 2:1-8 rxgain -6
set 2:1-8 impedance 19

-Setting slot 3.

set 3:1-8 signal ls
set 3:1-8 txgain -3
set 3:1-8 rxgain -6
set 3:1-8 impedance 19

3 slots means 24 ports. 3 cards x 8 ports per card.

BTW, when you get asterisk happy and the signalling correct, for
looopstart or kewlstart, all the properly configured port indicators
will turn green and turn yellow/orange on pick up. If in groundstart
mode they will stay off and turn green upon connection.
