Chapter 1
Overview
The Digium TE800 Series is a T1/E1/J1 capable card series created for
voice. They support industry standard protocols, including Robbed Bit
Signaling (also known as CAS or Channel Associated Signaling), CCS
(Common Channel Signaling), E&M, and Primary Rate ISDN (PRI).
They are also capable of DACSing channels from one span to another.
The TE800 Series cards are ideal for connecting phones to a channel
bank, connecting to T1/E1 switches, or connecting to a legacy PBX. The
Y-adapter dongle that Digium engineered for use with the Digium TE800
Series allows twice the amount of spans to fit in a single PC slot, taking
up less space to allow for more peripherals. Designed to be fully
compatible with existing software applications and integrate fully with
the Asterisk platform, the TE800 Series cards allow many advanced call
features.
This manual is for use with the TE820/TE820B PCI Express card. These
are identified collectively as the TE800 Series cards throughout this
manual.
