Hi, Some time ago, there was a discussion about the inability of nortel meridian pbx to dial analog tones thru an meridian ATA, and the work arround was to enable 808 function that makes the dtmf tones long for the current call. The nortel meridian is connected via a nortel ATA to a TDM400 to a FXO port. Anyone can say me who to actually use that function (you dial something or is pbx programation)? Thanks for the hint Miguel Ruiz Velasco Version: OpenKeyServer v1.2 Comment: Extracted from belgium.keyserver.net Signature: 0x59831109 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

After 1 or 2 seconds the phone will say "Long Tones". You can then dial the extension you want on the * server. The best way to integrate with a Meridian is to use FXS ports connected to trunk line ports and then configure the PBX to dial something like 7 to get a dial tone from the Asterisk server. That way your users do not have to remember a complicated procedure. -- Carlos Chavez Director de Tecnolog?a Telecomunicaciones Abiertas de M?xico S.A. de C.V. Tel: +52-55-91169161 Ext 2001

I also think the users are [somewhat] uncoperative and memoryless, but i can't connect FXS to trunk because that pbx was already full. Also having some problems with disconnect supervision. I know FXO is a hassle, but had no other means of solution.
