I linked an * 1.2 box to one of our HiPath switches recently using ECMA v1 (with the help of a Siemens engineer). The * box used a TE120P card and it progressed surprisingly smoothly.
The one thing we lacked with the initial configuration was the exchange of Caller ID Names (numbers were passing through fine). After further discussions with the Siemens engineer it transpired that there may be a way to configure the Siemens switch such that caller ID names were passed between the systems.
In preparation for this work I installed a second * box (this time runnning 1.4) and physically connected it into a second HiPath switch via a TE120P card. My zaptel.conf file contents on this second box are below:
span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
bchan=1-15
dchan=16
bchan=17-31
loadzone = uk
defaultzone = uk
My zapata.conf is listed below:
[channels]
language=en
context=from-hipath
signalling=pri_cpe
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echotraining=800
switchtype=qsig
pridialplan=unknown
prilocaldialplan=unknown
channel=1-15
channel=17-31
He initially configured the secondary Siemens switch identically to the first (ECMAv1) and we were able to exchange calls between * and the HiPath (without Caller ID Name).
He then changed the HiPath to use PSS1v2 instead of ECMAv1 - HiPath config shown below:
