First, is the lack of UK CLI on the x100P hardware or software related?

As an aside, has anyone experienced or solved the problem with the x100p producing a loop condition on the PSTN line (it really mucks up my ADSL connection something horrid when it is connected). I think it is due to an impedance mismatch between the card and the network, but have no way of testing these things. (Dont know enough to just get out my meter and start probing without risk of killing my x100p or the POTS Line) I know the Loop condition is there as a kindly BT eng was monitoring the line and asking me to plug things in, when the x100p was plugged in he said something along the lines of: "theres your problem, what did you just plug in? It is creating a 36 K Ohm Loop condition" Now the router is not the most stable at the best of times but plug in the x100p and the line bounces up and down like there is no tomorrow. Regards Chris.

Do you see a pattern here? The archives are you friend.
Chris, May be a bad card, or more likely Microfilter, I have had mine on the same line as the ADSL for 3 months now and no problems. As for UK CLI I will be glad when I can get CLI from either BT or Telewest.

[Asterisk-Users] x100p CLI in the UK
> First, is the lack of UK CLI on the x100P hardware or > software related?Don't know. AIUI the primary difference between BT and Bell caller id standards is that BT requires: - Hardware to detect line reversal prior to first ring indicating imminent arrival of the CID data - And then to detect FFSK CID data burst in the on-hook state prior to first ring In contrast to the Bell standard which sends FFSK burst between first and second ring in the on-hook state.> Secondly, My US Robotics Voice modem does get UK CLI, so > could I get UK > CLI and the same functionality as the x100p using a USR Modem with *? > > Has anyone done this?Not quite this way, but yes. I use a Pegasus Meteor to achieve the same end result. See www.crucible-technologies.co.uk/caller-display.asp Although it is expensive, it is completely reliable - anecdotal evidence suggests that USR modems don't perform consistently with BT CID. If you are handy with a soldering iron, you could also consider modifying caller display units - they can be had for less than a fiver at The Link or similar, and just require the addition of a serial driver chip to interface them to a PC. The serial data output from these units is virtually identical to the meteor and is well documented (since it's specified and documented as part of the BT standard).> As an aside, has anyone experienced or solved the problem > with the x100p > producing a loop condition on the PSTN line (it really mucks > up my ADSL > connection something horrid when it is connected). > I think it is due to an impedance mismatch between the card and the > network, but have no way of testing these things.

It is creating a 36 K Ohm Loop condition"I have an X100P on an ADSL enabled line and it works fine, with no noticeable signal loss reported on the router - but my line is close to the exchange in an urban environment.
