[Asterisk-Users] Transparently Routing German pri through Asterisk

[Kib Eki]

Hi,

this is a reply to an question of me you respond to.

We followed your description and managed to create calls from our avay system.

The only and important problem we have now is that we can't reach any extension 
at the avaya system from the outside.

At the asterisk console i can see the calls coming in from the outside pstn and 
asterisk tries to deliver them the zap span where avay is connected to.
But that all, there is no extension that rings.

Do have any idea of is stil wrong that the avaya does not know what to do with 
such incoming calls?

Thanks and Regards
