[Asterisk-Users] Is it mandatory to give power supply toTDM400Pcard
That was my thought too. Even if it *does* work without it, there may be a reason internally you can't see why it is required. (Ex. Putting extra stress on a component causing it to fail in 6 months) -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Tom Rymes Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 3:49 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Is it mandatory to give power supply toTDM400Pcard Is there any reason why anyone wouldn't just plug it in anyway? Why mess around trying to figure out when it does work and when it doesn't, we know it definitely works when you plug it in, and I can't think of any good reason why you wouldn't. Even if you don't have a free connector, get a Y-cable. (For example, my card is installed in a SFF Compaq Deskpro, which didn't have any free connectors...)

[Asterisk-Users] Is it mandatory to give power supply toTDM400Pcard
Ok, I just unplugged my power connector to a card with 4 FXO modules and they no longer work. Plug it back in and it works..... -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Rich Adamson Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 12:05 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Is it mandatory to give power supply toTDM400Pcard BS! Fxo modules do "not" require the power connector, period. The connector is only used to develop ringing voltage for fxs modules. It's very easy to trace the power connector wiring and find that it goes nowhere when fxo modules are used. ------------------------> Is it not for a card with 4 FXO?
