I want to peal off some channels from an incoming PRI to go to a PBX or a channel bank. Our Max has the PRI<->T1 software but the manual says you need to have a Net/T1 expansion module installed. Is that true and does that mean we can't use the PRI<->T1 conversion with the built-in T1 ports? Second, if we got a PBX that supported a PRI interface, can we then use the Drop-and-Insert capability and not use the PRI<->T1 conversion at all? Assuming we get a PBX that can support a DS1 interface only (not PRI), and we could use the PRI<->T1 conversion, how does the second T1 behave... That is, it comes out of the Max on the 2nd line through the CSU, so do we need a CSU on the PBX end? If we can use the PRI<->T1 conversion, does it pass Caller-ID information onto the PBX via the T1 voice channels? The manual vaguely says that Caller-ID information is not passed on but is not totally clear on it, it does say that DNIS is passed on is that true?
