asterisk users - Apr 2003 - Anyone using Asterisks and a Quicknet Lineja ck in the UK?

I don't have any experience of your problem - but I thought this might help.

The UK (and some of it's former colonies) use a system called 3-wire
ringing. Some equipment from overseas requires an adaptor to make it work. I
don't know if the LineJack is one of these.

Hi Folks,
 
I'm having difficulty implementing Asterisks with a LineJack card here in
the UK.
 
I wonder if there are any members of this list that have successfuly managed
to get incoming PSTN call detection with a Linejack card and Asterisks here
in the UK, and if so, if they would be willing to give me some advice/some
things to try.
 
Basically, I cannot get Asterisks to detect an incoming call from the PSTN,
although strangely, if I first run the Quicknet SDK utility
"ring_detect"
with the correct cadence setting, I can get the card to detect an incoming
ring. If I then quit the ring_detect utility and immediately start
Asterisks, I can then get Asterisks to detect a ring.
 
Without running the ring_detect utlility first, Atserisks will not detect
the incoming call at all.
 
I'm running a RedHat 8.0 box with the latest versions of the quicknet
drivers (from the openh323 CVS repository).
 
Many thanks in advance!
 
Colin 
 
Any help would be very, very welcome.

Hello, 

I've read your mail , and I've wondered if you might could help me.

I'm using SIPRG as a gateway between PSTN and IP, and I'm using
a LinePhone Quicknet card too.

The problem is that I don't like the SIPRG, it has some bugs and the
quality of the audio sometimes is very bad, I don't know why.

I was wondering if I could use Asterisk, but after compiling it I get lost
with the configuration steps, I don't know what I must configure to 
make the gateway work in my system (I'm using VOCAL as my SIP 
based system).

Could you help me ? Would you mind explaining to me briefly what
are the steps I should take to make Asterisk work and to be able to
make PSTN -> IP calls and IP -> PSTN calls ?

Thank you very much.

The Linejack does need such an adapter to see the ringing voltage.

But apart from that I believe I've read on the list that the Linejack
card can only be used as an FXS with *, not as an FXO.
