Correct, only an "off-hook" signal is sent to the ATA. No voice.

Is this your first soldering iron, electronics project? If so, I'd
advise finding a friend that has some experience to help.

The documentation shows how an asterisk extension is dialed via the
ATA's 'hotline' feature. The extension number (your choice) is
defined in your ATA configuration and your extensions.conf...
; Doorbell Ring Example
exten => 1179,1,Answer
exten => 1179,n,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Doorbell)
exten => 1179,n,DIAL(${DOORBELLPHONES},8)
exten => 1179,n,Hangup
This will occur for a few seconds (4 to 8).
Before you begin any construction, create the extensions.conf entry
and your intended dialplan function, then test by dialing that
extension for 4-8 seconds and then hangup.
When that works as you expect, configure the ATA, and test by
connecting an old POTS phone to the ATA, lift the handset for 4-8
seconds and hangup.
Lastly, when the tests work as you expect, you can proceed to the
electronics portion.
