[Asterisk-Users] Digium T100P T1 Card

[Wiley Siler]

Tim,

Just confirmed with ISP that the NIU connects to the AdTran over HDLC.  

Thanks!
Wiley

Tim,

Thanks for the reply!

Your expanation is correct.   The AdTran delivers the FXS on the wall
and is being converted from digital.

I hope you are correct about the swapout and I will chase this up with
ISP again.  Originally, they told me that changing my service required
making changes upstream and reprovisioning.  Now I am beginning to
wonder.

So the equipment chain would look like this...

Plug from NIU -> Asterisk PRI Card -> Out Onboard NIC to phones and data
separately

Is this accomplished via IPTables or does * do this?

Thanks!
Wiley

So to summarize:

Currently you have a T1 from an ISP, this ISP is currently delivering 6
analog FXS phone ports and delivering fractional T1 internet access over
the Ethernet ports on the Adtran 616.

To help clear up an issue that may have confused others, all the lines
you have are delivered in digital form the Adtran converts the 6 phone
channels to analog.

In theory (from reading mailing list not from personal exp.) the Adtran
could be replaced by a Linux box with a T100P and Asterisk (probably
without any config changes on the ISP end).

Later;
Tim
