I am using the “Digium - Wildcard TE133”. Currently, as this is going to replace another switch, there is no T1 connected. When I place a call to the outbound route that supports the trunk, it just rings. I was expecting congestion. Is there something in the DAHDI configuration that I did not do?
Who knows what you did and didn’t do, maybe if you posted that missing info, someone might have some constructive advice. (Still no mind readers here yet 
)
Right, I mean what kind of a T1? Is it an ISDN PRI or some kind of channel associated signalling?
Did you try to connect a data T1 to a channelized voice adapter?
How could we possibly know with the scant information you provided.

For the outbound route,I set Optional Destination on Congestion to Normal Congestion.
with that configuration, in the abense of a d channel dahdi will not answer you must be getting ring back from something else. post a log
Thank you for the insight, I have an FXS cards and the ports were set to group 0 also, so it was placing a call on the first FXS port (nothing is hooked up presently). I changed the FXS group to 1. Would this cause any problems? I only have the T1 and FXS card in the system.
For very basic questions you should start by reading through the wiki a few times.
