RE: ISDN PABX questions...

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

Until I installed ADSL Ian, that's exactly what I did. One port of the
2e box had the TA plugged into it, and one port had the PBX plugged into
it. The trouble with using Highway though, is that you won't get call
waiting on your digital line. The Siemens 4175 goes a step further. IF
you do have call waiting and you have both channels bonded, when a call
comes in, it drops the second channel so that the phone rings (It has a
built in TA). If you want to use your existing router then the phone
will just display "network section busy" if you try to make a
call when
both B channels are busy.

If you do decide to go for an ISDN PBX I'd strongly advise you to
upgrade your Highway to ISDN2e - then you get things like CLIP on the
ISDN ports, plus call waiting (so when you are online AND on the phone,
you still know that someone's trying to get through, and you can even
see WHO it is).

The best price I came across for it is 330 euros including a Comfort
4000 handset (cordless, with built in hands free) Additional handsets
are around 100 euros.

If you use the PBXs TA with ICS then you'll get slightly more
flexibility.

Subject: [ukha_d] ISDN PABX questions...

I am thinking I can get BT to switch the numbers for my analog ports
over to
be used as MSN's on the digital line, so I can use an ISDN PABX for my
exisitng numbers!

If this is the case, the question is, are ISDN PABX's tolerant of having
one
of their channels blagged by another device?

I expect to have my TA connected "beyond" the PABX, such that if
I am
using
64k, there's only one chanel available to the PABX, and if I go 128k,
it's
got none..

I imagine this is bread and butter of using ISDN?

Ian.
