Well said Steven! I agree with you in that you must adjust the settings from CT-1 to PRI as well as coordinate with your telco to make sure they dont send you what you dont need. As far as setting the channels slot to a particular modem slot well you can assigned it any slot that your modems are in but generally speaking you want to start with the first slot your modem is in which is typically 3. Hope this helps!

In PRI world, the D channel does all of the signaling and call setup so it tells the max whether or not the incoming call needs to be routed to the digital control processor on the max for an ISDN call or to a modem for an analog call. The default setting to allow this is slot=0. Now you have switched to a Channelized T-1 and there is no D channel to tell the max how to handle the call. Now you must tell your max what slot your modems are on so it can hand of the call to an analog modem. To do this, you need to have all of the channels on the max set to "ch 1 slot=3", "ch 2 slot=3" and so forth for all 24 channels on the T-1. setting as below. Also, you must make sure that your Telco is not sending any CLI/ANI or any digits across the T-1. If they are, you will still get the same busy signal because the max doesn't know what to do with that information so it returns a busy signal. It is an obscure statement in the users manual that drove me nuts for a month on a test machine before I finally found it.
