Step 3. Configure E1 parameters.

It needs to check the E1 configuration and refer the suggestions below.

1) Check “Signaling Role”. Generally, Yeastar should acts as "User" if the service provider acts as "Network" and vice versa.

2) It would be better if we know what kind of device the other side is. Is that service provider directly or other brand IPPBX? Usually the E1 configuration parameters would  be given by service provider. And here is an sample service provider offers.

3) If the signaling is PRI and the following E1 sample configuration would be helpful.

Step 4. Configure the options that is related with making calls.

Setup proper inbound route and outbound route for the E1 line, then you can test incoming call and outgoing call.

1) If incoming call is failed, please double check the configuration of E1 line according to the parameters the service provider or the other side device offers.

2) If outgoing callis failed, please check the DOD settings.

Generally, the service provider will offer you a mainline number (Global DOD) or a batch of  outgoing caller ID numbers for identification. Please configure the proper DOD to make it work.

If outgoing call is still failed after DOD is filled, please kindly to configure both Calling & Called party numbering plan & type as ‘Unknown’ or ‘Unknown Number’.
