[Asterisk-Users] Re: Panasonic KX-TD500

[Nenad Radosavljevic]

We have Panasonic D500 and Asterisk with TE110P hybrid setup successfully 
and it is possible to route DID to a PRI card in D500 if it is set up as EXT 
card, and extension "number" of PRI card is defined for example as 2XX. This 
gives you opportunity to have extensions 200 - 299 routed to PRI interface 
in Panasonic D500 and after that setting up DID routing is easy.

On the other hand, in that configuration we have an echo problem with the 
calls that entered Panasonic through the first PRI card connected to Telco, 
and that got picked up by any EXT of Panasonic, and then got transferred to 
the Asterisk extensions which are SIP phones (over that second PRI interface 
in D500 connected to a TE110P).

Also we have a problem with SpanDSP as a FAX in that configuration (call to 
a FAX DID on Asterisk ends after a 3-4 seconds).

Both this issues don't happen when the Asterisk is connected directly to a 
Telco.

Regards,
