Hello.

I have a B400E card that i installed using mISDN on the latest Trixbox (2.6.1). I would like to use 2 bri ports in TE mode and the other 2 in NT mode. The TE ports work fine, using custom trunks in Trixbox, but I have no idea how to use the NT ports.

msidnportinfo, gives the following:

Port  1: TE-mode BRI S/T interface line (for phone lines)
 -> Interface is Poin-To-Point.
 -> Protocol: DSS1 (Euro ISDN)
 -> Layer 4 protocol 0x04000001 is detected, but not allowed for TE lib.
 -> childcnt: 2
 * Port NOT useable for PBX (maybe there is already a PBX running?)
--------
Port  2: TE-mode BRI S/T interface line (for phone lines)
 -> Interface is Poin-To-Point.
 -> Protocol: DSS1 (Euro ISDN)
 -> Layer 4 protocol 0x04000001 is detected, but not allowed for TE lib.
 -> childcnt: 2
 * Port NOT useable for PBX (maybe there is already a PBX running?)
--------
Port  3: NT-mode BRI S/T interface port (for phones)
 -> Layer 2 protocol 0x02000002 is detected, but not allowed for NT lib.
 * Port NOT useable for PBX (maybe there is already a PBX running?)
--------
Port  4: NT-mode BRI S/T interface port (for phones)
 -> Layer 2 protocol 0x02000002 is detected, but not allowed for NT lib.
 * Port NOT useable for PBX (maybe there is already a PBX running?)
--------

I have connected port 3 of the card to an ISDN pbx (in one of its trunk ports) and the led of the card's port is lit (not flashing), which means that there is a connection.
However, I don't know how to actually use the port. I suppose I need a custom extension, but I don't know how to configure it.

For the TE ports, I have 2 custom trunks with mISDN/1/$OUTNUM$ and mISDN/2/$OUTNUM$.

Thanks

P.S.: Which is better, mISDN or Bristuff? Which one should I use? I also tried installing Bristuff on Trixbox 2.6.1, but failed miserably... I think the instructions are outdated.

hello:
you can try the setting from-extension->add extension->custom extensions. i think this is a only way to configure that.
regards!

Hi. Thanks for the answer. I know I should do that, but I don't know what "dial" string to use for the custom extension. How do I choose the port?

Hi,I want to test the same configuration on my PBX: 2 ports in TE mode (to connect an ISDN phone) and the other 2 in NT mode.

On the card are 3 switches but I don't know how to configure them, which should I change?

looking the card I have:

- NT/TE switches close to the ethernet ports (connecting SWX01 pins to JPY pins)
- SW switches close to NT/TE switches (smaller than NT/TE switches, seems a sort of on/off switch)
- Power switches in the upper right corner of the card (as for the SW switches, seems a kind of on/off switch)

What I'd like to know is how to change jumper setting to make my card work with an ISDN phone.

Thank you

Giorgio

Maybe a picture with the switches pointed out may help.[attach]202[/attach]
