2 edo: не могу согласиться! Использование всего-чего как channel bank убивает одно из главных преимуществ (для меня) Астериски - нет необходимости поддерживать двойной cabling - для локальной сети и для телефонной. Ведь при channel bank все телефонные провода конторы надо сводить в одну точку пространства? А как с релокацией? миграцией? Может не так быстро, но с традиционными АТСками скоро будет как с СД-плейерами или автомагнитолами без МП3 - они рядами стоят новые на полке, но прогресс уже их усушил.
Продать - да, но не за бесценок.

"двойной cabling" имеет и преймущества - например проще с бесперебойным питанием. да и если он уже проложен - его что, выдирать?

thank you for the help ;)
in fact, i am new to Asterisk and i am asked to configure Asterisk so that it can communicate with LDK300 but i don't know how to begin and which configuration files should i be interested in :(
again thanks in advance :)

first of all you should understand, how asterisk work.
read this great book: Asterisk: The Future of Telephony.
about connection - i see two ways:
- use voip (voip cards for ldk are overpriced - but it can be favorably, if you need only a few cannels);
- use isdn pri.

both ways are well supported by asterisk.

from ldk side you need configure networking. it allow ldk be integrated into common dialplan with asterisk.

hello :)

well, i want to clarify that the connection will be via IP. I don't know what are the files to be configured to create this interface between Asterisk and the LDK :(
thanks again :)

you must begin with installing VIOB or VIOBE card to your LDK.

VOIB support only h.323 (afaik not very well supported in asterisk), VOIBE support both sip and h.323.

ps: are you sure? ISDN is cheap and well supported.

thank you very much edo for the help:
in fact, i have the VOIBE installed, and concerning the choice of ISDN or IP, it's not up to me to make the choice, i'm asked to do that via IP :)
so, if you can tell me what are the steps to follow i will be very grateful.

shortly - in asterisk you must tune sip trunk, in ldk - networking via sip.

about config files - you must look to sip.conf and extenstions.conf

networking via sip in LDK not work:(
try tune h.323 trunk in LDK

sorry, i really don't understand what do you mean there :wacko:
how can i use H.323 and i have no configuration file dealing with it
