Transparent Asterisk, BT ISDN30, Data Calls

I’ve installed my first Asterisk box (1.4.0-beta3) between my BT ISDN-30 (PRI) and our existing ISDN PBX (a Network Alchemy Argent Office) using a TE205P Dual Span E1 card.

I’ve managed to get the Asterisk to be ‘transparent’ (pass all calls received on the PRI to the ISDN PBX and vice-versa) with the exception of DATA calls.

Outbound DATA Calls are fine, but the ISDN PBX is rejecting inbound ones :frowning: (the PBX happily accepts DATA calls when connected directly to the ISDN).

Can anyone tell me how to make Asterisk pass on DATA calls in the same fashion as BT do on their ISDN30?

Ta in Advance.

Here’s the console log from a failing call (span 1 & g1 are connected to the PRI, span2 & g2 to the ISDN PBX).
