[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...

Digium FXS Port
              AC Measurement            DC Measurement
On-hook       107V                               49V
Off-hook       11V                                6V
Ring             drops to 44V                    0V

Direct from Bell Canada
              AC Measurement            DC Measurement
On-hook        0V                               44V
Off-hook       0V                                6V
Ring              44V                              0V

Does this make any sense to anyone?

Thanks,

Ian

Try adding the module parameter boostringer=1 when loading the wctdm 
driver. This raises the ringing volts to 89V peak.
