[Asterisk-Users] TDM400P FXS polarity reversal?
Hello all, Is it possible to do a talk battery polarity reversal on a TDM400P FXS interface? Everything I can find seems to be referring to the procedure for detecting a battery reversal on a telephone company POTS line using the FXO interface, but not for actually generating one back to a station upon answer supervision. I would assume that VoicePulse and VoipJet provide a way of signaling far-end supervision back to the originating Asterisk PBX... Basically, my two questions are: (1) Is the hardware capable of even performing a reversal? (2) If the above is true, how would you make it happen in Asterisk? -- Strom Carlson http://www.stromcarlson.com/ ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

We however also want to use this card for 911 calling. We need some sort of mechanisim to "disable" the line out port on the x100p by software to "interrupt a call" on the line. Put the fax machine on an FXS port, have faxes route through Asterisk's switching matrix, then have your dialplan tear that channel down if 911 is dialed. And also, pray that your echo cancellers work really well. -- Strom Carlson http://www.stromcarlson.com/ ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I doubt it. The problem I have with AAH / AMP / FreePBX is that the configuration files are absolutely full of useless garbage and are really not at all suitable for moving to a standard asterisk install. Set up a new server from scratch and start learning how to configure asterisk manually. Rebuild everything one step at a time so that the functionality remains as you'd like it to be, but that the actual configs aren't full of that FreePBX garbage :) -- Strom Carlson http://www.stromcarlson.com/ ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The adoption of Asterisk as a mainstream PBX is dependent upon a user friendly interface. Well, as soon as a GUI shows up that doesn't make configuring Asterisk like trying to sew with boxing gloves on, I'll give it a good, hard, unbiased look. For now, though, the available interfaces are really just not there yet - they don't allow enough flexibility and they are very easy to outgrow. -- Strom Carlson http://www.stromcarlson.com/ ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Any clue on how to make it ring twice before getting picked up? I tried immedate=no and some other zapata.conf tweaks, but nothing seems to work.

I guess I'm just not punching in the right search terms in my queries. Thx in advance You need to provide audible ring: exten => 2368,1,Ringing exten => 2368,2,Wait(11) exten => 2368,3,Answer and so on.

I'd like to keep some of analog lines to support modem, fax and some older stuff. What's the best choice? A channel bank or a TDM2400P card? Can I use a TDM2400P board together with the actual TE410P? I've had very good results at one of my clients' locations using the following setup: PRI <--> Asterisk w/Digium TE406P <--> Adtran channel bank <--> Fax machine Assuming you have a spare span on your E1 card, it's probably worth it to get a channel bank with 24 FXS ports and put it in your wiring closet. Even if you don't use all the ports now, you'll be a simple cross-connect away from adding an analog station if and when it's needed in the future. -- Strom Carlson http://www.stromcarlson.com/ ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Zap channels ringing too loudly
On 5/31/06, BJ Weschke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I could be way off here, but I thought FXS ringing was signaled only by a change in voltage on the pair, so I'm not sure how zaptel could instruct the hardware device to send a different voltage? I think its only capability with FXS is to fluctuate the voltage to support distinctive rings. Ring voltage in North America is supposed to be 90vAC at 20Hz. Assuming these are Western Electric 2500 sets or similar, then a less-wimpy ring voltage generator could very well make the phones ring louder. Fortunately, if these are Western Electric sets, then there should be a dial marked "LOUD" or "HI" on the underside of the phone. Turn that to the right to make the bells softer. -- Strom Carlson http://www.stromcarlson.com/ ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
