Configuring FreePBX for connecting to a traditional ISDN PBX

General Help
1

I’m configuring a freepbx server for managing incoming and outgoig calls fro isdn.

What I want is to receive calls trough one openvox B200E and send them to a traditional isdn PBX trough another openvox B200E card.

I have configured dahdi-channels.conf doing this:

  • First 2 spans as te mode
  • 3th and 4th spans as nt mode, with “from-internal” cntext

Cards seem to be well configured, but i don’t know how to configure the web pannel to send all incoming calls from the firs card trough the secod isdn card.

Any hel please.

Thanks

You need to put the outbound channels in their own group and build a trunk to that group.

Then use the inbound route module to send calls to the trunk.

This requires v2.8 or later.

WOW!!

I did’nt realized this options exists!! very easy, fantastic!!

Thanks a lot!

Well,…

Inbound calls work fine, but I can’t redirect to the second B200E ISDN card

This is what I’ve done:

1.- Do dahid_genconf and edit dahdi-channels.conf. Span 3 and 4 ar in NT mode, so Span 1 and 2 are group 0 and span 3 and 4 are configured in group 1. Have alook at signalling and context. from-internal for span 3 and 4 is ok, isn’t it?:

; Span 1: B4/0/1 “B4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 1” (MASTER) RED
group=0,11
context=from-pstn
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling = bri_cpe_ptmp
channel => 1-2
context = default
group = 63

; Span 2: B4/0/2 “B4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 2” RED
group=0,12
context=from-pstn
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling = bri_cpe_ptmp
channel => 4-5
context = default
group = 63

; Span 3: B4/1/1 “B4XXP (PCI) Card 1 Span 1” RED
group=1,13
context=from-internal
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling = bri_net_ptmp
channel => 7-8
context = default
group = 63

; Span 4: B4/1/2 “B4XXP (PCI) Card 1 Span 2” RED
group=1,14
context=from-internal
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling = bri_net_ptmp
channel => 10-11
context = default
group = 63

2.- In freepbx web pannel, i’ve created a new trunk as ZAP Trunk (DAHDi compatibility Mode). Zap identifyer is g1. Do I’ve to do anything in Dialed Number Manipulation Rules? Do I’ve to configure DAHDI trunk instead of Zap Trunk?

3.- In inbound routes, I’ve configured one route named “ISDNINBOUND” and “set destination” >>>> Trunk > g1(zap)

If i make a call to freepbx machine I get this in the CLI:

HELP PLEASE!! THANKS AGAIN!

You need to use a DAHDI trunk. ZAP has not been supported by Asterisk since 1.4.26

6

OK, but do I have to configure any rule??

7

You have to set your inbound route to terminate on the trunk.

If you have locally connected handsets you need to configure outbound route to point to trunk.

Still not working. It’s well configured as DAHDI trunk.

It seems that the dialplan is not well defined.

Hi all,

I’ve been trying configuring chan_dahdi.conf using different values with pridialplan, but it doesn’t work :frowning:

Does anyone know this isue?

I tried instaling a differente versión of asterisk (asterisk-es-rsp) but I don’t get any solution.

Is it a ISDN card configuration isue? Inboun calls configuration isue?

any heklp will be wellcome.

Thanks again.

Cause code 18 is no user responding.

Not knowing your old switch this is difficult to debug in a forum. You may need to dig into the PRI debug logs or possibly even take a look with an ISDN protocol analyzer. I can’t imagine trying to troubleshoot issue like this without the right tools are an in depth knowledge of the subject.

Understand why you are not getting much help. You are trying to get something that is by no means an off the shelf configuration to work. In order to accomplish this you need an Asterisk expert, a transport/signalling expert and an expert on the legacy system.

Do you mean it’s not asterisk PBX isue? The other PBX is an old 1,4 aserisk pbx with a sempron procesor.

This old aserisk PBX is working fine now, in ptmp mode, and I’m trying to configure a this new freepbx server for a real old ISDN PBX for build a hybrid Voip system.

Should it work with the PBX?

I will try to build a new asterisk servers to build this scenary. We will see…

Thank you anyway.

Finaly I got it work, creating a custom context in extensions_custom.conf like this:

[TO-OLD-PBX]

exten => _X.,1,NoOp()
exten => _X.,n,Dial(DAHDI/g1/${EXTEN},45,tTwW)
exten => _X.,n,Hangup()

Sending a trunk for sending calls to another trunk does definitivly not work!

:frowning:
