Well, you learn something new every day. I had no idea that connector was called an RJ-21. I've always called it a 50-pin amphenol. Cool.
Anyhow, are you pretty sure that you've got the right pinout? My first thoughts go to wiring. If you can get the back off the connector, you should be able to connect a phone to the blue-white/white-blue pair (pair 1) and get a dial tone from the bell service. I wonder if what the Asterisk logs are telling you is that it's gone offhook. It may well be going offhook and sending DTMF on a line which has no signal from bell. When you dial in to one of the lines, does the Asterisk box report that it detects ringing? Just to eliminate one outside possibility: I think there are two versions of this card, an FXO version and an FXS version. I think you need the FXO for what you're describing. If the card is only populated with FXO modules, you shouldn't need the power connector from the PC, the PCI bus should be enough. You probably would have noticed ZTconfig freaking out on you if this was set wrong so, like I said, it's pretty unlikely. I've got the tools and connectors that are required to trace a wiring problem so if you think that might be the cause of your issue and you'd like me to come on site, we can arrange that. Otherwise, keep posting and we'll get to the bottom of it. Dave On 6/6/06, Mansel Lavery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Asterisk User Group, I've recently acquired a TDM2400 for my office and have setup the Asterisk network internally without a problem. However, I cannot seem to get an outside line using the TDM2400 though the Asterisk logs and phone confirm an ongoing call. Our line provider is Bell who runs an RJ-21 cable into a patch board which then runs another RJ-21 into the card. Has anyone had similar problems with Bell? I am currently using Kewl signaling and wondered if they used a different type or required a longer wait before attempting to dial.
