This took me a while, so I hope this info helps. I connected a Mitle SX-2000 with an NSU to an Asterisk server with a Sangoma A101 t-1 card. I used PRI signalling so that I could get caller id to pass. I get no echo and great sound quality.
Here is the Asterisk config settings:
zaptel.conf
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=1-23
dchan=24
loadzone=us
defaultzone=us
zapata.conf
[trunkgroups]
[channels]
context=from-internal
switchtype=qsig
rxwink=300
callerid=asreceived
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0
faxdetect=incoming
signalling=pri_cpe
group=1
channel => 1-23Here is the Mitel forms with settings:
