[Asterisk-Users] how to make asterisk drop battery on a FXS?
I connected two plain old telephones to FXS lines of a TDM400P (defined as fxoks in zaptel.conf), one of them dials the other with Dial(Zap/2), I talk to myself for a while, hang up either of the phones, and the phone that remains off-hook gets the congestion tone until it goes on-hook (at least as long as I've cared to wait). I don't have a voltmeter on the line, but if I'm hearing the congestion tone, there's battery, right? The reason I want to drop battery is that I want to connect some FXS lines to an old IVR system, and if I dial the IVR and hang up, the IVR doesn't notice. Another possibility is to see if I can change either the IVR or Zaptel (why doesn't the Zap channel get its tones from indicators.conf, like other channels do, instead of having them compiled in?) I spent a while playing with ) so that the IVR recognizes the congestion tone and hangs up, but battery drop, if I can do it, sounds like a better way to do it. thanks
