It was a long shot. Still. 20Hz is correct, so might as well leave it that way > I'm an absolute novice when it comes to the electrical side > of POTS. How should I be measuring the voltage?

Connect a voltmeter to tip and ring (doesn't matter which polarity you connect - one probe to each contact), and go from there. The voltage will be there regardless of whether any phones are connected to the circuit. If you cannot detect any voltage (or it's well below 70VAC), that'll explain why the sets won't ring. Are you plugging directly into the FXS port on the Sipura? No cabling or anything involved? Jim. > On Tue, 19 Jul 2005, Jim Van Meggelen wrote: > >> Simon P.
