I know on my CAC hardware there is an external plug to tie into to put any number of monitors on to detect when it has had a problem. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [Asterisk-Users] line battery check
Hi- Its not clear from your msg whether you want to detect the open-circuit condition of the T1/E1 directly or on one of the analog circuits connected on the other side of the channel bank. If directly on the E1/T1, I imagine that asterisk can detect the condition of the alarm signals for the circuit - these are separate from the signalling supervision bits like on/off hook. I'm new to asterisk, so don't know how to read those alarm indicators in the software, but the ones you are probably interested in are: Red Alarm - means loss of signal (I think a cut line would cause this), Yellow alarm - means far end detected an error, and BPV - bi-polar violation, means degraded signal (usually). Hope this helps. regards Scott M. Stingel Emerging Voice Technology Inc.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] line battery check
There's got to be a way... I think zttool shows a red alarm on an X100P when there's no phone line plugged into it (and I would guess when there's no voltage on the line.) My guess is that it gets the info from /proc/zap-something-or-other, but I'm just guessing.
