Looking to add VOIP capability to old PBX

Jump to solution

We have a Mitel SX-200EL with a PRI circuit to the telco and a spare T1 port.  We want to link the T1 port to a VOIP asterisk style PC for VOIP phones. We want to do T1 E&M signalling to a Total Access type unit and then register the total access as a SIP trunk to the asterisk. The end result would be to route calls via the T1 to the asterisk to voip phones. It may not be perfect but we're willing to settle. I have complete control of the MItel and can use PRI as the link instead of T1 E&M.

Can this be done and which Total access should I be considering?

Re: Looking to add VOIP capability to old PBX

Is it possible to register a SIP client to the 904. Not a PBX but for example a basic IP phone?  That way we remove the 'asterisk' server.  For example I could route a certain incoming set of digits over the PRI to a specific SIP phone? 

I did not know this was 'done all the time'!

Thank you!!!!

Re: Looking to add VOIP capability to old PBX

Yes this can be done. You can use a 904:

Total Access 904

P/N: 4212904L1

You don't care about FXS interfaces. That box has one PRI/T1 interface and one Eth interface.

I would recommend using PRI over EM because with PRI you get Caller ID and EM you don't.

But basically you terminate the T1 into the 900 and then you create a SIP trunk to Asterisk. This is a basic sip to PRI application turned around. Done all the time.

Let me know if you have any questions.

here is sample config of PRI to SIP:

Absolutely. Create a voice user with the extension just like an analog station.

Instead of "connect fxs 0/1" configure the following for the user:

sip-authentication - Configure sip authentication information for this user
sip-identity       - Configure registration for this user
sip-keep-alive     - SIP keep-alive configuration
sip-register       - Configure registration settings

Configure the SIP phone to register to the IP of the Adtran device.

I can make calls from my VOIP pbx to the PRI to the PBX

I cannot make calls from the PBX to the VOIP pbx. I get a fast busy

I dial 9 plus the 4 digit extension of a sip extension on my voip pbx 9 4101 and I get a fast busy.

I get a fast busy no matter what I dial on the PBX.  I added some entries on my pbx dial plan to allow 4101.

I know the PRI card is good, incoming works, not outgoing.

I cannot tell if my sip trunk between systems is good but calls go through. it shows no sip trunk registrations.

both of these units are sitting on a bench, connected by a switch, no firewall, no nat.

I addded the dial plan entries and now I can make calls from each side.  From PBX to IP PBX calls are Anonymous. Most like PRI Card setting.

Still don't know why the sip trunk registration doesn't show?? It works.

I am most likely going to switch to T1 RBS since we have that port readily available.
