I have a TDM400 with an FXS and FXO interface. I have adjusted the TX and RX gain for both the FXS and FXO channels so that everything is balanced. I hear myself very loudly with no lag. I also get alot of background noise when the bridge is formed between the FXS and FXO channels. I have read the following articles: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+echo+cancellation http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Causes+of+Echo I have read these multiple times. My system is now useable, but it's definitely worse than when I plug the phone directly into the wall. My loadzone is 'us'. I have the following in my zapata.conf usecallerid=yes transfer=yes channel => 1 context=outbound mailbox=00 channel => 2 echocancel=yes echocancelwhenbridged=yes context=inbound signalling=fxs_ks faxdetect=incoming busydetect=yes busycount=5 rxgain=5.2 txgain=-0.5 channel => 3 Is there anything I'm missing? I assume there is because it's not working as well as I had hoped. Any suggestions of what to try next, what to look for, or what additional documentation I should be reading would be much appreciated.

Hi Shaun, I'm new at this but I do have some queries on your setup. You have two interfaces and three channels? And there's only signalling specified for channel 3? If I am not wrong, the channel inherits all the settings from before it. Mervyn On 11/21/06, Shaun Kruger <shaun.kruger@gmail.com> wrote:> I have a TDM400 with an FXS and FXO interface.

Make sure you have the proper value for opermode (if this is the US, the defalt, FCC, is probably OK). 2. Use fxotune to further adjust the FXO modules. 3. Make sure you actually use an echo canceller.> > I hear myself very loudly with no lag. I also get alot of background > noise when the bridge is formed between the FXS and FXO channels.

Why not? Echo should be cancelled as close as possible to the source: this will make it the most effective.
