John a while back you posted this on a thread regarding Lineside E1. Could you explain in more detail please on the set up.

Thank you.

Connect two back to back to a cot e1 card, the line side programs as analog stations, the far end programs as trunks.. will let you dial thru for a test.. works clean with t1 line side.. e1 should be the same except 30 channels/ 2 meg, not 24/1.54

While I would love to see John post, the system reports it has been a few months since he logged in: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com/userinfo.cfm?member=johnpoole[/url]

We would all rather see you post the details of your situation/question. Hundreds of us have used Line Side in creative ways

I'm trying to test these in a lab environment.
I don't have a channel bank or IVR system to connect to. I can "successfuly" link to a 5D97 but that doesn't do alot for me.
I was looking for a different route to take and John's reply above sounded intersting but I'm not sure how he configured it from a hardware standpoint.
Basically I'm looking for a way to make sure I can dial through to something that will answer on these channels.

Ahh... So John meant programming analog 500 type TNs; then pretending those are Loop Start COT lines and cross connecting them to a trunk TN. I don't think that does what you want?

Since your Line Side looks like a T1(E1 in your case), you need something to connect to that can emulate a E1 - that would be a DTI loop. So you wrap your wiring from the Line Side back into a DTI card and then you can a complete A to Z connection.

Just think of the Line Side and DTI as two separate boxes. They just happen to be housed in the same room.

Thanks. I can connect to a DTI2 on a 5D97 but that only idle's up the channels/ports.
If I dial the DN of Port 1 on the Lineside in will Busy out Channel 1 on the DTI2 loop but that's as far as I can go.
I'm trying to establish an actual call, voicepath etc.

How are the trunks programmed? Just make it so they ring something?

Trunks are programmed as tie lines but once I hit the channel then what? I can't assign the channel to a set like on a Norstar system.
The Lineside is not meant to tie to a span as far as I know.
Trying to find an E1 channel bank or dialogic board.
The E1 ports are programmed as 500's but hand off is DS30X so I gave an Mgate card a try briefly but no go.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

If they are TIE, you can just dial an extension once you seize the trunk.

You will need to match up the ABCD bits configured against the Trunk and in the E1 Lineside of course.
