Hi all, I was wondering whether anybody here would help me clarify this minor issue please. If I have the following setup; Asterisk ------ Sipura SPA 3000 (fxo) --------- Pstn Line Would a call coming in on the pstn line be answered by the ATA or just get passed through to the * server (depending on dialplan) to handle? So basically, the caller does not get charged until the appropriate extension hanging of the * server answers. Cheers, Richard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20060207/82e35b6b/attachment.htm

I have an SPA3000 here at home working in the way you describe. When a call comes in on the SPA3000 it's forwarded (without answering) to asterisk. Asterisk then rings all the IP phones, and only when one of those is answered is the PSTN line physically taken off-hook. There are some excellent forum posts I found re: configuring the SPA3000 to forward calls directly to asterisk (I think from the voxilla.com forums). Regards, Chris -- C.M.
