asterisk users - Apr 2003 - Re: two computers set up ... now what?

***
Now you just need a "phone" or "station" (FXS) device and a
method of
connecting it.
***

So... essentially I need to spend another $125 US on a Wildcard TDM400P so I 
can plug in an analog phone?

On the X100P description it says:
"The X100P supports FXS Loopstart and "Kewlstart" (Loopstart with
far end
disconnection supervision). It can detect ringing and remote hangup and 
fully supports Pseudo-TDM bridging through Zaptel"

So this is telling me that the X100P will function only with an FXS 
device... is this correct?

Sorry for the 'simplistic' questions, but I don't have much of a
telecom
background.

X100P is one FXS port

	Yes, or the S100U, but the TDM400P is your best choice.

	It supports FXS signaling, and interfaces with FXO devices (ie. your
Telco).  (FXO devices uses FXS signaling, and vice versa)

	When you setup your Asterisk configuration, you'll have to keep this
signaling vs. interface stuff in mind.

No problem!  We all gotta start somewhere!

no it is not - it is 1 x fxo port
it is signalled using fxs signalling, but the port is an fxo.

yes you are correct in your assumptions about the tdm card or any of the 
other options Wade or I mentioned.

To clarify the port names - they are named by what plugs into them. O hooks 
to the central Office S hooks to your Station (phone) The signalling type 
used is the device the port appears as to the other end of the line. eg: 
the FXO card appears to the CO as a station so it signals using FXS signalling.

Clear as mud now ?
