Hi, I recently got a TDM04B and after installing and getting asterisk up and running I connected a handset to one of the ports. Unfortunately I don't get a dial tone when I lift the handset. What could be the cause of this? Could someone point me in the direction of a proper config for a TDM04B? Thanks.
Is it true that a FXO port will NOT provide a dial tone?

So plugging in a handset unless it's a butt set it will not give you any dial tone.

If you want a TDM card to connect to analog telephones, the part number is TDM40B.
I did that once on a cheap linejack card. Took a week to get the smell out of the office, and the bright orange from inside the server was quite interesting :) Only took 1 second to start a small flame going, but fortunately I cought it quick. I wonder if the zaptel cards have any kind of protection from this sort of thing...

And plugging telephones into FXO ports will *not* damage anything, since both the phone and the card are expecting the other side to source battery and ring. It's plugging POTS lines into FXS ports that causes nastiness. -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The sound card apparently had no DC blocking capacitor on its input, and the tube amp had some DC on its output...> > I wonder if the zaptel cards have any kind of protection from > this sort of thing...No, they don't. Someone mentioned damaging one this way just a couple weeks ago.
Hi all: I just bought and installed a TDM04B (4 fxo ports). It is running and ok. I have 2 lines from my provider. I can make two incoming calls come through my box to its extensions, but only one going out. I would like to make 2 calls from different extensions at the same time from my box out. ?Where can I find information about? (I couldn?t find any at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk%40home+Handbook+Wiki) I?ll appreciate your help. Regards, Yrving --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?

My assumption would be that you are only referencing one of the zap interfaces and should either be using a group or listing the zap interfaces sequentially in the dialplan so that if the first one is in use the second one will be used. Example of using a group would be, in zapata.conf for the lines you are trying to dial out on: group=2 in extensions.conf: TRUNK=ZAP/g2 exten => _NXXXXXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN}) exten => _NXXXXXX,2,Congestion Doing it without a group would work as follows: exten => _NXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN}) exten => _NXXXXXX,2,Dial(Zap/2/${EXTEN}) exten => _NXXXXXX,3,Congestion Using a group lets you setup several lines to be used when the group is referenced. More complex than you probably need but the letter used when referencing the group will change how the group works: ; g: select the lowest-numbered non-busy Zap channel ; (aka. ascending sequential hunt group). ; G: select the highest-numbered non-busy Zap channel ; (aka. descending sequential hunt group). ; r: use a round-robin search, starting at the next highest channel than last ; time (aka. ascending rotary hunt group). ; R: use a round-robin search, starting at the next lowest channel than last ; time (aka. descending rotary hunt group). So Zap/g1 starts at the lowest line and Zap/G1 starts at the top of the available lines, etc....
After making some research, I am done. Thanks! yrving rivas <yrvingr@yahoo.com.mx> escribi?: Hi all: I just bought and installed a TDM04B (4 fxo ports). It is running and ok.
