Siemens Hipath 3750 to Asterisk TE110P
I put this together about 6 months back – 100% stable and working great.
I need to post this as notes more than anything. See the diagram for the current setup

Asterisk + TE110P The goal was to keep the current phone system and allow for VOIP calls - €€€ saving So I purchased an old HP DL380 G4 server for €250 and I had an old TE110P card from testing. So the steps involved, 1. Install TE110P into server 2. Install Debian net install 5.0 3. Install Asterisk 1.4, libpri, addon’s + FreePBX (If you using an ISO based install, I can highly recommend PBX in a Flash – The name, site, etc… looks amateur but this is without doubt the best Asterisk ISO available. 4. Test the PRI card – The TE110P is notorious with interrupt errors
a. Disable all non essential items in the bios – Make sure the TE110P has its own interrupt 5. Create a loopback cable and max the card, all the time checking for interrupt errors (see for details http://bit.ly/avfKlF) 6. When you’re happy the card it working correctly connect it to your TSM card in your Hipath system using the crossover T1 Cable 7. Now configure the card – SSH onto the server and edit the following config files. /etc/Zaptel.conf -------------------
span=1,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4 → This sequence is very important 1,1,0 will send clock info through the Siemens box and bring down your Telco PRI

------------------- # ztcfg -v The lights on the card will show green. Now we need to configure both dial plans to play nice. 1. Freepbx create a trunk ZAP/G0, Trunk to your VOIP Provider & [Trunks to your GSM gateway → will get to this a little later.]
2. Create outbound routes to your SIP provider, ZAP/G0 & GSM gateway
3. You need to configure the route dial plans based on your own setup Use http://bit.ly/b0YzhM as a guide
4. Setup your Hipath’s TSM2 card and dialplan – You will need the hipath Manager E application → It’s a pain to get access to and your installer most likely wont give it to you. Post a comment and I’ll send you a mail.
5. See images for the Route setup and Dial Plans – Post a comment if you have any questions on these
