asterisk users - Apr 2004 - Adtran TA750 Noise - Email found in subject

Rich,

Thanks a bunch, totally understand now and that actually makes total
sense. (no need for schematics). This also explains why I used an TA750
to go into a Nortel MICS system, using FXO and no buzz. Totally balanced
load from the analog ports on the Nortel across the 5 feet of CAT5 to
the FXO on the adtran.

Now I need to get rid of some Adtrans --- Anyone lookin to buy?


:) Thanks again.............Greg

Well, you're the second one in a rather short period of time that
has complained about the exact same hum/buzz when the Adtran 750
is used with FXO interfaces and with X100P cards.

There was another posting earlier today in which the individual made
a comment the 750 FXO interface does not support impedence matching.
I thought the statement was rather strange, but since I don't own one
of these units, I went to the Adtran site in search of a technical
description of the FXO card. I couldn't find one, and for that matter,
it appears Adtran has little reference to the 750 being used with any
FXO interface. (Its almost like they know there is a problem and
removed the 750 FXO options. Selling as FXS only now.)
