Re: [Asterisk-Users] Issues with ringing on FXS ports
Ok... I've done a bit of emperical testing but don't really know what the results mean. I'm starting to think I need an oscilloscope to measure this properly. All I have is a DMM, I'm measuring on both the AC and DC scales... AC MeasurementDC Measurement On-hook 107V 49V Off-hook 11V6V Ring drops to 44V0V Does this make any sense to anyone?

DC measurements are fine; AC is not even reasonable (in the US). ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Ring is the only time you should have AC and it should be around 80VAC. The DC measurements look alright. -A. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Issues with ringing on FXS ports
Is there a list of these anywhere? This is now the third one I've heard of, with no documentation: lowpower (IIRC), robust and now boostringer. Do I have to go diving in the source, or is there a Wiki I can't find? Good point! There is the bugtracker to search but this is one of those subjects (like the Dial application) that could use a whole chapter somewhere. There is a bugfix to change the ring frequency and a recent solution to a problem I had regarding the cadeces used. I think the onlu current way would be to search the zaptel stuff on the bugtracker. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] Issues with ringing on FXS ports
I've got an Asterisk PBX with a Wildcard TDM400P (2x FXS, 2x FXO). When I connect an older (circa 1984) Nortel Harmony phone - the first phone Bell Canada offered with an electronic ringer as opposed to a bell - I get normal ringing (sorry I don't know the REN rating of this phone...). When I connect my personal cordless (VTech, 0.3 REN) I get normal ringing. If I connect the GE cordless models I've been asked to use (0.1 REN) they normally will not ring... they light up and indicate there's an incoming call and once or twice I've received 1/2 - 3/4 of a ring but never a complete ring or multiple rings. When connected directly to my incoming lines they ring normally. Normally I'd assume this was a power problem but at 0.1 REN?? Any other ideas I can try?
