We need much more information.

>From *where* did you make a call? Did you dial from another location
into the Asterisk number (e.g., did you dial your Vonage number from
outside?), or did you call out from your Asterisk server using an
internal extension?

Does the call succeed? Do you hear ringing, or a fast busy, or does the
call go to voice mail?

What is in your dialplan (extensions.conf)?

I don't think the TDM400P cards do media detection :) You're probably
looking for the problem in the wrong place -- but answer the above
questions first and we'll see what we can figure out.
