Title: OpSign

    I'd plug four telephones in these lines and test if the lines are really engaged or not and in case it is busy, the other will ring or it will bring you to the voicemail. I ha a similiar problem, the telco had no engaged the lines properly, after this was solved , I also had a damaged FXO channel.
     Can't you replace the card and see what happens? The telco could also have sold more lines that the switch really supports, thus causing sometimes this problem. I have seen this happening with my local telcos.

Hi all,

Several months ago we built an * box with a quad-FXO tdm400p
(REV e/f).
    
From the get-go, there has been a problem where occasionally
      
(2-3 times
a week) zaptel/* will not detect the ringing on a line.  (The
call will ring through to telco voicemail).

The problem is not specific to a single line or FXO port on the
tdm400p. 

I have 2 theories:

#1 - the ring voltage for some calls is below acceptable levels
    

Possible, but also possible that there is too much loss on the circuit.

You can test the ringing voltage with a meter, it needs to be between
90V and 110V.

Beyond that you may need to use a transmission test set (such as a
Wilcom T136B). I got mine for $20 bucks on eBay. Using a butt set and
the test set you'll need to call a 1004Hz source from TELUS and then
check that you're within the following specs:
Loop mA:		23 or better (too hot is no good either, but I
doubt that's your problem)
Circuit loss:	between 0 and -8dB. 0 is really too hot, -3 to -6 is
nominal, -8.5 is pushing it, but still within spec.


  
#2 - the tdm400p card is bad

Assuming #1, can the zaptel driver be tweaked to be more sensitive to
ringing? 

Any other ideas or experiences?

Running asterisk/zaptel v1.0.2

Thank you,
