Good morning, <br><br>We are in the process of setting up a similar combination - Mitel 3300 ICP + Asterisk. We chose to use SIP for interconnectivity for ease of configuration inhouse as getting the local Mitel support rep is tough and they balk at any configuration beyond the basics and you know we IT guys always want more! E1 cards equally work. Google has loads of links to SIP configuration, troubleshooting, interoperability etc
<br><br>We got SIP Trunk Licenses for the Mitel 3300ICP. Mitel talks to Asterisk which connects remote Cisco Routers (routers have fxs ports that connect local PBX into voip network) + other remote Asterisk boxes + SIP soft phones. High cost of licensing on Mitel was the the primary advantage for choosing Asterisk. Also, access to Mitel documentation is limited (even google search turns up sparse information).
<br><br>If there are specific questions, please ask, would be glad to respond.<br><br>Regards, Joesph<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/24/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Alex Crow</b> <<a href="mailto:acrow@integrafin.co.uk">

2.5 years ago)<br>and we are experimenting with setting up Asterisk in our head office<br>(for business continuity, ie we have a bird flu epidemic and no-one can<br>come in, therefore use SIP softphones at home to co-ordinate activity)
<br>and at a remote site in the Isle of Man (connected via 2Mbps SDSL)<br><br>Ideally we'd like anyone on either Asterisk servers (IOM and London) to<br>be able to dial anyone internally on the Mitel 3300 and vice-versa. We
<br>have got *one* SIP license so far for the Mitel for testing purposes.<br><br>I am a bit crap on telephony, but as I have gathered so far we should be<br>able to connect the two systems via either QSIG (with an appropriate
<br>card on the Asterisk server), DPNSS (which I'm not sure if any Asterisk<br>compatible hardware supports) or SIP (I'm happy setting up clients, but<br>have no clue with inter-PBX stuff).<br><br>I don't really care about any special features as long as the Mitel
<br>numbers can call SIP users in London or IOM and the other way round.<br><br>I am planning to get at least 1 BRI pulled into the IOM office for PSTN<br>access, btw.<br><br>Any help you can offer would be gratefully received.
