asterisk users - Feb 2007 - Skutch AS-66 and an X100P

I finally got my X100P working and now I have a question.

I have several Skutch phone line simulators. My X100P works as expected with
both a POTS line and an analog PBX port, but when I use a phone line
simulator it doesn't answer the line. The phone line simulator doesn't
power
the line until the phone set goes offhook. Asterisk shows the RED alarm and
then the alarm clearing but never detects the ring.

Any suggestions?

TIA!!!

Thanks,

Toss those in the trash
Good line simulators must provide battery when idle.
Look on eBay for a TLS-2,3,4, or 5 for a good one, and frequently 
affordable.
IMO Scutch has never made anything worth a dime

I've looked around and couldn't find much on this, but using two
different
TFTP servers (linux / windows), my Cisco 7960s won't load the RINGLIST.DAT 
and dialplan.xml files.  On both the TFTP servers and the phone, I get TFTP 
Timeout Errors.

The SIP configuration files load fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I don't know anything about a line simulator but your description certainly 
points to a problem with the simulator.  As I'm also doing tests on X100P, 
I'm interested to know what does a simulator give you that your PBX
doesn't.
(I wish I had a PBX to play with.)
