[Asterisk-Users] Interfacing to an IAD

[Corwin Nichols]

I'm considering switching my incoming phones lines from standard analog 
to a T-1 service from XO communications. They propose to bring in an 
"IAD" which has 12 lines of voice and 768k of internet bandwidth as part 
of a package deal. Since I want to keep the voice traffic in the digital 
domain the equipment they're proposing is a "Lucent Digital Vina 
Integrator" IAD with a digital TC card. I've searched the web to find 
any sort of info on how I can connect this IAD to my Asterisk box 
without success. What I find in general is that this kind of IAD can 
either provide analog voice output (POTS) or "digital T-1" output. I 
presume the latter is what they're providing.

Is a "digital T-1" from an IAD the same kind of interface as a PRI T-1? 
Would something like a Digium TE-110P handle this interface? Does anyone 
out there have experience with a Vina IAD with digital voice circuit output?

Thanks for any assistance.
