You will need exactly two times the number of ports that your legacy
system has. Asterisk takes the call on _.,1,DAHDI, starts monitor and
dials out the second DAHDI port to your legacy system.

It is about ten lines in extensions.conf.

Thanks,

How I can use it "Asterisk" as Man In The Middle. Since we have to keep
our Native PBX intact and functioning but only thing it doesn't handle
is Voice Recording. I thought if I can get some Channel Variable or some
system generated event regarding OFF-HOOK and ON-HOOK condition through
Asterisk I will easily handle this requirement.

It will be a great help if you can elaborate how I can use asterisk as
man-in-the-middle configuration along with my current PBX.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response

It may not be possible to do this in parallel the way you are trying
now. In series should be a simple task.

Just pass the call through Asterisk as the man in the middle, the
dialplan will be very simple.

Thanks,

Basically, you run the phone lines into the asterisk box, then out of
the Asterisk system into the PABX.

This works reasonably well, and gives you the option to migrate to a
full asterisk setup in the future.

Step five: Profit Wink

I am not going to write your dialplan for you but here is a clue.
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+legacy+integration

Of those various setups, you can extract what you need.

Dear PaulH,

I have 5 PSTN Lines going into my legacy PBX. There is an active IVR
present on legacy PBX which the client wants to keep. So what I have to
do is:

1. Install 10 Port i.e 5-FXO/5-FXS card on asterisk machine.
2. Insert All those PSTN directly to my 5-Port FXO.
3. Take out 5-FXS Port lines and insert them into my legacy PBX.
4. Since as I mentioned previously that my client wants to keep its IVR
intact on its Legacy system so I will not be handling IVR in my Asterisk
Dialplan.
5. when the call arrives at asterisk....what should I do?? Should I
simply call Dial(FXS channel) or something else.

Kindly provide some info regarding Step 5.

Thanks

It's very, very good. You can hook it up to MySQL instead of sqlite if
needed, just e-mail support.
