[Asterisk-Users] How to make/recieve call using asterisk when thereis a power failure?

[Alex Barnes]

Sorry I dont have any answers, however I do have a question.
 
I was told that ISDN-30 lines do not work during power failure.  Can
anyone with some better knowledge confirm or deny this?
Is this because the ISDN-30 box on the wall requires power (and Telco
providers just dont hook them into UPS as standard)?
Or do they mean if your local circuit has lost power so will the local
digital exchange that provides your ISDN-30?
 
 
My experience from customers has been that none of their current phone
solutions worked with power loss so they dont care (not enough to pay
the extra).  Considering the prolification of mobile phones for
emergancy calls during power outages I would agree.
 
my 2p.

	Hi,

	 

	I am supportive of the asterisk, but I have some concern, though
the concern also applies to traditional pbx as well. Hope someone can
shine some light into it. Thanks.
