asterisk users - Jul 2003 - Analog phone not ringing

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I've got my developers kit from telappliant and got a machine up and running
to become the house phone system. Most things are working now, such as 
incoming calls, call transfer, call parking, voicemail, etc.

The one thing I can't do is make my analog phone ring! I can see the call 
coming in on the asterisk console and can then pick up the analog phone, but 
no ringing!

Incoming calls come in on the X100P (channel 1), the analog phone is on the 
only other channel from a TDM400P

The one thing that I think it could be is the connector to convert from RJ45 
to BT phone socket. I'm using a mod tap that I had lying around. Not sure 
what the wiring is like inside it.

Thanks,

Darren.

The console has these messages:

That's a pretty good bet.  Depending on the phone I've regularly had to 
swap wires, solder wires together or add capacitors to get phones to work 
with my ATA 186 and even ordinary phone lines here in darkest Sussex. 
There seem to be a number of wiring variations that can cause problems - 
you can use google to get many references to the possible solutions.

In the UK, phones use a three-wire connection with a separate line for
the ringer.  This is supposed to stop phone bells tinkling when
another phone is dialled.

Anyway - you need the RJ11 to BT adapter that includes the "ringing
capacitor".  Maplin sells the adapters both with and without the cap.
