Overview
The Digium TE 400 Series cards are a T1/E1 capable card series created
for voice and data. They support industry standard protocols, including
Robbed Bit Signaling, E&M, Primary Rate ISDN (PRI), and several data
modes (PPP, HDLC, Cisco HDLC and frame relay). The TE400 Series
are capable of running in E1, T1, or J1 modes. They are also capable of
DACSing channels from one span to another. The TE 400 Series are ideal
for connecting phones to a channel bank, connecting to your T1/E1
switch, or connecting to a legacy PBX.
This manual is for use with the TE420/TE420B PCI Express card, as well
as the 5 volt TE405P/407P and the 3.3 volt TE410P/412P Quad T1/E1
PCI cards. These cards are identified collectively as the TE 400 Series
cards throughout this manual.
Designed to be fully compatible with existing software applications and
integrate fully with Asterisk Open Source PBX/IVR platform, the TE 400
Series cards allow many advanced call features.

Chapter 1: Overview
What is Asterisk?
Asterisk is the first open-source telephony platform. Since it runs on
Linux, it inherits all of the power and stability of that operating system.
The name Asterisk is derived from the all-inclusive “wildcard” symbol in
UNIX. It is representative of the wide range of opportunities it opens for
developers worldwide to create solutions which would otherwise be cost-
prohibitive.
Asterisk allows you to create a PBX solution that rivals the features and
functionality of traditional telephony switches. Current PBX solutions are
expensive and proprietary. International companies are discovering that
Asterisk is cost effective, low maintenance, and flexible enough to handle
all of their voice and data networking. Combined with Digium hardware
and a common PC, anyone can replace an existing switch or complement
a PBX by adding VoIP, voicemail, conferencing, and many other
capabilities. Asterisk will integrate with most standards-based IP
telephone handsets and software. Analog phones and ADSI-screen
phones are also supported.
