<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=454254613-17072007>Hi -

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=454254613-17072007>I need to configure
Asterisk (Trixbox 2.2) and my ATA-186 with both ports.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=454254613-17072007></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=454254613-17072007>I need to be able to
call one port from the other-- the idea is to have two phones in two different
locations that _can_ call each other.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=454254613-17072007></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=454254613-17072007>So, in reading the
Asterisk Wiki and other sites, the best documentation I found was
this:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

that each line must have it's own distinct and complete configuration, and if
you use both lines on the ATA-186, it will REGISTER twice. Further note
that you cannot call one line from the other on the same device using the
"direct" extension numbers, so you will have to be clever about naming and
aliases within Asterisk. That is outside the scope of this
document."<BR></FONT></STRONG><BR>However, that _specifically_ says that in the
provided config, you cannot call one port from the other port using "direct"
lines--</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=454254613-17072007>It does indicate that you
CAN in fact work that out, using "naming and aliases" within
Asterisk.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=454254613-17072007></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=454254613-17072007>Therefore, I assume that it
IS possible to use an ATA like this---</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=454254613-17072007>but that the author of this
particular doc either doesn't know how (but does know it can be
done)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=454254613-17072007>or just didn't want to go
into it in a low-level howto.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=454254613-17072007></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=454254613-17072007>So ---</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=454254613-17072007></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=454254613-17072007>Does anyone know how to do
this?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=454254613-17072007></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
