[Asterisk-Users] Creating a phone channel

[Zara Trousk]

Exactly, an FXS card has a POTS port, so there is nothing you can send TO IT but ringing.
Sending digits to it won't help, it does not dial.  Unfortunatly this causes a bit of confusion on * config because you send digits by the Command Dial and you send ringing with the same command, th e  point is if you want to send ringing you don't put anything else in front of the device you're specifying, but the no of secs you want it to ring before it goes to the next step.
FXS cards provide dial tone to the device connected to it(that must be a terminal), accept digits from that terminal and gives ringing to the terminal. - That is all it does.

Cheers,
