Dahdi / Traditional PBX

Friendly Greetings!

Am having a lot of issues. I have a old school PBX system that requires a T1 line for voice. I also have a separate server that I set up with asterisk. Both systems are connected together via T1 Cards.

My goal is to have Asterisk server handle the incoming / outgoing lines ie voip to T1 to the PBX so that the PBX can receive calls and also place outbound calls. I guess t1 voip gateway would be the terminology of what I’m wanting to do I think.

Many moons ago we built a Elastix server maybe back in 2008/2009 and configured it with Dahdi and it worked! That server I no longer have but I have the original T1 card which is a te110p so I have that in my new asterisk server. For the life of me I have tried freepbx and also issabel I can get the card to go to green for alarm however I can not remember or figure out how to pass on the calls to the PBX. I have all the signaling documentation. But when we create the trunks it is saying the line is busy.

Is there anyone in here that has any advice or possibly a link on how to set this up like how I want it? Or is there someone here I can pay to set this up for me or help me along the way.

The old school PBX that needs to receive the calls from memory can only see the last 4 digits of a number and thats how it knows which PBX user to dial in to for the service.

You are going to need to provide some debug itself so people can see what you tried and what the output is (at least debug level 1, probably with debug level 3 for chan_dahdi and core verbose 10).

I think the TE110P is one of the cards temporarily removed from the DAHDI driver set. If you’re installing a modern version of Asterisk, you can use PhreakScript to get the driver back: GitHub - InterLinked1/phreakscript: A utility to automate the installation, maintenance, and debugging of Asterisk/DAHDI, while integrating additional patches to provide the richest telephony experience

I don’t use FreePBX or have knowledge of it, so if you’re using FreePBX you may want to check out the FreePBX forum - this forum is for “vanilla” Asterisk, not GUIs that use it.

Thank you I am going to work on getting some better logs over and some more information. Just a quick question. If the card is showing green and no alarm after configuring it does that mean the drivers are there?

Also thank you so much for the tool I don’t quite understand it but I am going to do my best to read up and try to figure out how to use it.

This is also what happens when trying to hand call off over to the traditional PBX.

The complete listing looks like code from FreePBX, but the above is the only relevant information.

27 is destination out of order (as seen by the remote end).

I think I still have something wrong in the configuration or I am not passing on the call correctly. I am working on trying to figure out how to do the correct dial plan.
