asterisk users - Mar 2009 - Asterisk analog DID with Adit 600

Hello All,

I'm trying to connect Asterisk to an Executone phone system with an 
analog DID card and I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm 
doing wrong. The Executone DID card provides battery to the telco, when 
the telco wishes to dial a DID it goes off-hook, waits for a wink from 
the Executone and then dials the last three digits on the number with 
pulse (as opposed to DTMF) signalling.

What I've done is purchase an Adit 600 with an FXO card. I've set the 
Adit T1 controller to use E&M signalling and the FXO card to use DPT 
signalling. I've set asterisk to use E&M in both dahdi/system.conf and 
chan_dahdi.conf.

If I dial the port connected to the DID card it goes off hook but when 
the Executone winks Asterisk or the Adit thinks the remote side has hung 
up and terminates the call.

I've tried using E&M wink, featd, and featb signalling in 
chan_dahdi.conf, set hanguponpolarityswitch=no, and tried loop start 
signalling for the heck of it and that didn't work either.

Does anyone have any suggestions of additional things I could try?

Thanks in advance,

-Dave

Please disregard. Everything works much better when the wires are 
connected to the correct pair. I had the tip of pair A and the ring from 
pair B.

Thanks anyways.

Is it possible to set the Executone to NOT wink?
Without the wink, a simple FXO port will DP into the switch without 
problems and without using E&M signaling
Even an X100 card could do the job ( at least with earlier Asterisk ) . 
Am I reading that late Asterisk has mucked up the driver for this old 
simple card?
