Dear Joao, If you use H.323, you don't really need Asterisk in this case. What I am thinking is you have one digital + analog pbx that ought to have the ability to register with GNUGK (the H.323 Gatekeeper). But does this PBX treat as endpoint? And also Asterisk is a SoftPBX with ACD and lots features support software, and support various of internet telephony hardware. So Asterisk may not really the one you need(!? just wild guess) Yours, Jason Chan ----- Original Message ----- From: Joao Pereira To: openh323gk-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 11:21 PM Subject: Re: connect H.323 endpoints to PSTN phones Sorry, my first mail had an error, I meant: "I want to know the best way to place calls from H.323 endpoints to PSTN phones using my Siemens HiPath HG1500 PBX." The Siemens HiPath HG1500 PBX uses a Siemens CorNet-IP proprietary protocol, similar to H.323. I think the HiPath PBX allows the connection to a Gatekeeper... but I didnt managed to put it to work. Do I need some extra hardware or software in the middle?? maybe Asterisk will do it????? Does someone in the list have a similar configuration?
