[Asterisk-Users] PRI to PRI passthrough with DID intact

[Steven]

I currently have:    Telco-PRI ---- Panasonic DBS576 PBX ---- E&M wink 
T1 ---- Asterisk.
I have configured the Panasonic to forward my Asterisk DIDs to the Asterisk 
extensions over the T1.
I do not get DID nor CID on the Asterisk, so I want to use PRI between the 
PBXs.
I do not want to pay for another PRI card for the Panasonic. (T1 and PRI are 
different cards)

I see this as my least expensive solution:  Telco-PRI ---- Asterisk ----  
PRI ---- Panasonic DBS576 PBX.
I have a second Digium T1/PRI card available.

I am going to make the change after hours and know that I may have things to 
fiddle with after it is in use, but my biggest concern is getting my current 
Panasonic DIDs to come over from the Asterisk.

I know that I can make a DID list pointing to the Panasonic extensions and 
assume that the dialplan will send the to the Panasonic. But I think this 
will be a dialed extension and not a DID call.

But, I am assuming that there is another feature that can see the DID from 
the Telco and forward the call to the Panasonic as a DID call.

I guess I am saying that I am not sure what the best option is.

Please advise.

PS.  The Asterisk is still in testing phase and the people with Asterisk 
extensions know that they may not always have service, but when I make this 
change, the Panasonic MUST still be fully functional.

May you have the peace and freedom that come from abandoning all hope of 
having a better past.
