asterisk users - Sep 2004 - TDM400 FXO outgoing call only

I have an analogue line connected to an FXO module on a TDM400. I want
to use the FXO line only for outgoing calls - incoming calls are
answered by other equipment, but even if I don't specify an "s"
extension, the FXO module still seizes the line for all incoming calls.
Is it possible to configure the FXO module to ignore ring events
completely? Wiki resources etc have been no help...

Thanks
Patrick

Nice idea! This works a treat (as a nasty hack) - it falls back to the
default context, which just happens not have an "s" extension like
this...

    -- Detected ring pattern: 247,159,0
  == Starting Zap/3-1 at main-line-7711,s,1 failed so falling back to
exten 's'
  == Starting Zap/3-1 at main-line-7711,s,1 still failed so falling back
to cont
ext 'default'
Sep 27 14:17:04 WARNING[19476]: pbx.c:1877 ast_pbx_run:  Channel
'Zap/3-1' sent
into invalid extension 's' in context 'default', but no invalid
handler

Thanks for your help

Not that I'm aware of, with the exception that you can define a
dinstinctive ring that will never exist and therefore will never
pick up the line.

In extensions.conf

[outgoing]
exten => s,1,Wait,20
exten => s,2,Hangup

Now put that fxo in context outgoing.

Works for me.
