I have a thirdlane Multitenit server with a sip trunk from a local provider and works great for inbound/outbound calls. However i have a customer who wants to connect there an extension from there PBX as a trunk on the Thirdlane. There phone system supports Single line telephone. Can i cannot the SLT extenion to the FXO port on the handytone then point it to there thirdlane as a Trunk?
If so how should i set this up in the Thirdlane software?

grandstreams suck and they
grandstreams suck and they dont even have basic circuit protection so you'll end up having to replace them making them more expensive in the end. If you are trying to provide trunk lines to their PBX you need an FXS port not an FXO. I'm not sure what your attempting to accomplish by using FXO into a station port on their PBX. You should take a look at the linksys/cisco SPA3102. It has 1 FXS and 1 FXO port. Make sure you upgrade the firmware. If you need more ports then look into the SPA-8000 and the SPA-8800. One is 8 FXS and the other is 4FSX/4FXO.

Here is what I'm trying to do. We have a Panasonic Digital PBX with 80 extensions. We also have a 4 port SLT card inside this phone system. As im sure you know a SLT card creats standard dial tone so you can plug in a standard telephone to it and using the standard number keys on the phone make outgoing calls and ring extenstions. What i want to do is put a IP phone at my house and connect one of the SLT ports (dial tone) to a FXO device so that it becomes a trunk or extension. So from my IP phone i can call that extension or trunk so now i have access to all my extensions and lines on my panasonic system at the office. last night i did setup the grandstream FXO as an extenstion and it did give me the panasoinc dial tone after it connected and it allowed me to dial 9 to get an outside CO line from my panasoinc system or ring an extension.
But you are right the gransdstream kept locking up etc., it is crap. I will try it with the Linksys one.
Please tell me if im still doing this right, now that i explained it.
THX for the help!
yes that should do what your
yes that should do what your looking to achieve (calling extensions on the pbx). You should set it up as a trunk inside asterisk, set the context as a 'from-inside' type context, and use the passthrough set of scripts for the outbound route where the pattern matches the extension numbers of the other pbx.
For starters I would not use the Gransteam unit. I know it is inexpensive, but try to use an audiocodes or worst case linksys FXS unit.
On TL can you can create an extension under the tenant and connect the FXS unit to the new extension.
Works well I do this all the time.
