RE: [Asterisk-Users] TDM400P FXO channel remains Offhook after outoing or incoming call / line is parallel with other telephone equipment
Asterisk and it works fine untill the following situation: - one of the telco lines occasionally becomes mute after call is completed, would not provide dial tone, (not sure about ringing on that line) - both via old and new PBX. - zap show channel n would show that line as 'Offhook', though no telephone is off hook. If physical line would be unplugged from TDM card, the line would become normal again. The offhook in Zap Show Channels is only for FXS cards Sorry, if it is a well known problem, but I did not find any specific information yet.. Please answer two questions: - is it really bad to have parallel connection on TDM400P FXO lines to an additional telephone equipment, does it prevent TDM400P to detect Offhook/Onhook correctly? I have equipment in parallel with no problems, which version of Asterisk are you running Which country are you in? Are you using CallerID facilities if so what signalling/method are you using? - will the problems go away when parallel lines would be disconnected (legacy PBX shut down)? As you may understand the office personnel has anxiety that this may be a bad Asterisk setup / bad TDM card etc (which I am sure so far that it is not). Maybe but as I say I have not seen such problems. Did lines mute before Asterisk?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] TDM400P FXO channel remains Offhook after outoing or incoming call / line is parallel with other telephone equipment
My problem with TDM400 was bad FXO module. Now got a replacement from Digium. So far it works fine. I continue to have occasional loud noise when dialing out, even after Didigum support installed a patch for wctdm driver on my server. I have scheduled restarts of Asterisk and reload of wctdm/zaptel from crontab to prevent that situation. It helps. Ian D. Wlloughby wrote: The offhook in Zap Show Channels is only for FXS cards Already figured so. I have equipment in parallel with no problems, which version of Asterisk are you running Asteriskzaptel is now latest from CVS. (tried with 1.0 and 1.0-stable with same results). Which country are you in? I am in US. I would be grateful if anybody could tell me what I should tell Verizon so they would enable disconnect supervision for my lines. Apparently remote hangup notification or disconnect supervision or calling party control is NOT the magic phrase for them. They treat me like I do not know what I am talking about (which apparently is true, though they might be more helpful).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] TDM400P FXO channel remains Offhook after outoing or incoming call / line is parallel with other telephone equipment
Thank you for your answer. Now I've figured that one of the FXO modules on the card may be defective. Whenever I plug in telco line in it - that line will be like shortened (if you pick up parallel telephone, the dial tone will be heard weaker than usually). So the FXO module is always in Offhook state, unable to dial out, unable to detect rings. Reboot and Power off/Power on did not help. Any suggestions? Might be just my luck.. just my luck. If you're sure that jack is a fxo module, then I'd call digium support. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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] TDM400P FXO channel remains Offhook after outoing or incoming call / line is parallel with other telephone equipment
Inline... I am preparing to roll out Asterisk setup with TDM400P, 4 FXO modules in a small office. Asterisk will replace legacy system (4 telco lines, 8 extensions PBX), but before the new system and ip phones would be installed, the legacy system is still in use. The four telco lines are now connected in parallel both to legacy PBX and the 4 FXO modules in TDM400P. Asterisk is configured not to pick up any incoming calls. snip I am dialing out via Asterisk and it works fine untill the following situation: - one of the telco lines occasionally becomes mute after call is completed, would not provide dial tone, (not sure about ringing on that line) - both via old and new PBX. - zap show channel n would show that line as 'Offhook', though no telephone is off hook. If physical line would be unplugged from TDM card, the line would become normal again. Others have posted similar type issues relative to the TDM400P card. Not sure if that issue has been addressed in code or not. I'm not seeing that problem with current cvs head. Sorry, if it is a well known problem, but I did not find any specific information yet.. Please answer two questions: - is it really bad to have parallel connection on TDM400P FXO lines to an additional telephone equipment, does it prevent TDM400P to detect Offhook/Onhook correctly? - will the problems go away when parallel lines would be disconnected (legacy PBX shut down)? In very general terms, no its not a problem. It certainly can be a problem when, as an example only, the legacy pbx is actually using a line and * attempts to use the same line. (eg, * is not going to check to see if dialtone or voice is present before dialing.) Same in reverse; if * has a line in use, will the legacy pbx detect that before dialing? The 3050 chip on the TDM fxo module has the capability of sensing whether another analog device on the pstn is off hook (ie, much lower line voltage), but I'm 80% sure that flag is not currently handled by the tdm drivers, etc. As you may understand the office personnel has anxiety that this may be a bad Asterisk setup / bad TDM card etc (which I am sure so far that it is not). Sounds like you really need to go through a pre-cutover test plan without the legacy pbx attached to validate your config, etc. The tdm card does have some unusual issues that appear to be driver oriented, but there are lots of folks using the card in production. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
