<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hello,<br>
<br>
We are working on implementing a solution for a medium service provider. They
were previously using a Cisco AS5300 gateway with some PRI trunks to receive
modem calls, then route them out the Internet.<br>
<br>
The Telco they were buying the trunks to discovered this configuration and
restricted them due to legal conventions, and stated that in order to continue
doing this, they would have to talk SS7 directly.<br>
<br>
We are planning on solving this by placing an Asterisk server with some TE410
cards talking SS7 to Telco, and another 4 ISDN ports talking to the AS5300 for
the dial-up to complete after authenticating against a RADIUS server.<br>
<br>
My questions is: can we use only Asterisk to complete/terminate the dial-up
connection, removing the AS5300 out of the picture?<br>
<br>
Current topology to be set-up:<br>
Telco --> SS7 --> TE410P-AsteriskServer --> ISDN --> AS5300 -->
Internet<br>
<br>
Ideal topology:<br>
Telco --> SS7 --> TE410P-AsteriskServer --> Internet<br>
<br>
<br>
Some posts talk about zapRAS being able to accomplish this, not quite sure though<br>
<br>
Sounds like possible:<br>
