FXO means it connects to a central Office -- it accepts dialtone and ring (it 
acts as a telephone)

FXS means it connects to a Station (telephone) -- it provides dialtone and 
ring (it acts as a telephone network)

Easy to remember: FXO connects to an Office, FXS connects to a Station or Set.

You ordered a TDM04B which is four FXO ports, which is for connecting four 
telephone lines to.  I *think* you want a TDM40B which is four FXS ports, 
which is for connecting four telephones to.

I'm *positive* that Digium (or your reseller) will swap this out for no extra 
charge unless there's a restocking fee for having to order it in.
