Do you have the MAX 1600 or the MAX 400X ? In the latter case, the
T1 you will use is the 4th one on the chassis. In the 1600 you do
need the T1 slot card...

No. D&I is strictly T1/T1, no PRI.

Typically no, you connect to a DSX card on the PBX - assuming we are not
trying to drive the T1 signal more than about 650 feet cable length ?

No caller-ID. Yes it passes on DNIS/DID information...
