similar to: Really Old Rotary Phone

Folks, I have a TDM400 with an FXS module. I'm having some trouble ringing some phones attached to the device. I have a real el cheapo handset that cost me about 9UKP. It works fine, I plug it into the Wildcard and call the channel and it rings. I have tried plugging in my BT Diverse 3016 cordless phone but it will not ring, although I can call out from it. I have also tried my GPO 332L

Will the FXS cards that work with asterisk handle rotary? Are there any channel banks that can convert rotary to touch tone (like some sorta bridge)? The goal is to be able to log input from rotary phones. Full PBX functionality would be nice but... (It's for a project, not for serious production). -- // Ethan O'Toole //

Folks, I've got one of those GPO 1950's rotary dial phones that I'm trying to get working in the UK. I've got pretty much everything working with my TDM400, the phone rings and I can receive calls but I cannot dial with the rotary dialer. I have set pulsedial=true or whatever the exact setting is and I can dial from the phone by lifting the receiver and tapping out the number on

I'm trying to use a couple of old Western Electric type 500 phones (desk model, rotary dial). These phones work fine, as tested with telco lines (they dial, receiver/transmitter works fine, etc). I'm running Asterisk 1.6.2.11. I can't get them to dial through Asterisk. They are connected to a Rhino channel bank which is connected to Asterisk via a Sangnoma card (T1 with echo

Ahhh this could be my problem! I just checked which wires on the RJ11 cable had a voltage across them and it was the yellow and green (3 & 4?). From what someone posted the other day it's supposed to be Bumble Bee and Christmas Tree. I did have to get a technician out to fix my line when it was first installed because it was dead. Maybe he wired it up incorrectly or maybe they just do it

Looking to install asterisk for a client and was shopping around for prices for 6 POTS lines with or an integrated T1 with voice and data. I called up Sprint and I told the sales rep that there was going to be a Phone system she said that they would have to install "key" rotary lines and then I told the rep that I needed two more lines with hunt group and she told me that would be

Dear all, I am happy to tell you that I received a Digium's TDM20B card for my Asterisk box today. but the phone jack is RJ45 instead of RJ11. So Please I need precise instructions to connect a phone to this card. please, assume that I have a phone (a normal analouge phone connected to the one end of a cable with an RJ11 jack (at the phone side). and now I want to connect the other end to the

Hello, I had two quad-E1 Tormenta2 cards in my system and yesterday i had to replace the CPU. I noticed the rotary switch on each card that sets the card number or ID... Both switches were set up on 0 and everything worked fine. Should i set one card to 0 and the other one to 1, or... "if it works, don't fix it!" ? I had some nightmares with IDs on Dialogic hardware with Bayonne

Hi, I'm no phone guy but I've been having quite a bit of fun messing with Asterisk. I just unwrapped my new Wildcard TDM400P (TDM40B) which is the new 4 port FXS PCI card. It has 4 RJ45 connectors and I'd like to hookup 4 regular phones which are RJ11. If I crip RJ45 connectors to the phone cords do I simple use the center two pins (pins 4 and 5)? Thanks, Randy Smith Tiger

We currently have a 15-phone system using Asterisk, a combination of analog phones/Grandstream HandyTone-286 and Grandstream BT101s, and 4 X100Ps connected to analog lines. The system works well except for the occasional echo problem. I have all the echo parameters configured, removed all the extra incoming analog lines except to the PBX, etc. following all the advice on the wiki and on the

Hi All... I have installed a single X100P card in my PC and am playing with Asterisk. The wire I plugged into the X100P has two POTS lines on it, wired on the RJ45 in the normal way. I am getting odd behavior. It seems when I dial out that the X100P dials both lines at the same time. I have two questions. First, I see that the X100P is only a single channel. Does this mean that I can

Hi. Does anyone know about a simple one-fxs ATA with pulse dialing support that can work with Asterisk? A SIP one would be ok. I've been told that the Digium S101i IAXy does support pulse dialing; although it's a iax2-only ata it could be enough. I need a bunch of them to convert some old fashioned rotary phones into VoIP ones (I'd like to disassemble the ATAs to remove the boards

I've noticed that some callers listen to our main menu and don't press any keys. I have it set up to restart the menu a few times and eventually hang up. I'm wondering if these are wrong numbers (in that case, why don't they hang up) or they really want to speak to someone here but don't understand the menu (what's so hard about "for the operator, press

I just received a Wildcard TDM400P by FedEx yesterday. I noticed that the FXO/FXS modules use connectors similar to Ethernet. Now, i want to connect the TDM400P to the PSTN connector in the wall, and also to a regular analog phone. Both the PSTN conn and the phone use smaller connectors, typical for analog phones. I searched the "official" docs and the Wiki, there's good

Hello - I have a TDM400P with 2 FXO and 2 FXS modules. Feeding the FXS modules are two VOIP lines which are terminated by VOIP adapters and have regular RJ11 wires connecting to the FXS ports. Since the two different VOIP lines have different phone numbers, and I know and can tell asterisk which VOIP line is connected to which FXS port, can I cause a distinctive ring on the extensions if a call

Hi, I am just trying to figure out how to setup a TDM04B card for incoming/outgoing calls. I have 4 lines, which are provided as a rotary trunk group, currently hooked into a Nortel system, which asterisk will replace. I have setup a Dell 1800 (Tower) system with the TDM04B card, which seems to work. The question is how do I set it up that all 4 lines are part of a trunk group, such that

Dear all: Does anybody know about label conflicts between xtable and Hmisc? I found a couple of e-mails similar to this problem but is not clear to me how to get around the label problem. The first table(longtable below) is generated with the latex function from Hmisc but for some reason when I try to hyperlink to it,it takes me to the top of the document. The second table created with the xtable

Hi All; I am facing a problem that always the users confused and connect the telephone line coming from the telephone service provider to the FXS port and cause it to be damaged, specially if the card was 2 fxs and 2 fxo, so they make mistake and connect the line to fxs while it should be connected to fxo. What is the solution for this disaster? Regards Bilal

To all Asterisk guru's... Here is my question. 1. Asterisk PBX - 5 Trunks / Incoming lines 2. 1 Building - 3 Companies (sharing phone system) Ok that's the basic layout. Here's the low down - Each company will have one dedicated channel for there company. The other 2 channels they want to be set aside as rollover's (rotary). That is not an issue. Where my concern is, how

Hi, Long story short - I have an ancient Britsh Telecom phone attached to my Asterisk PBX via Dahdi. It works beautifully, receiving calls, and the call quality is excellent. However, dialling out is impossible, as Asterisk consistently mis-reads the number of pulses the dial sends (it could be a squiffy dial, I'm not sure). Not to mention the fact that, in today's modern "want
