FXS channels have FXO signalling. Yeah, this is confusing.

An FXS port is the one to which you connect phones. FXO ports emulate
phones, and can connect to a standard telephone-company socket.

Huh? Is this an exact paste? The last four ports should be inputs:

One of the servers here has:

 [snip]
           9 XPP_OUT/0/0/8 FXOLS (In use) 
          10 XPP_OUT/0/0/9 FXOLS (In use) 
          11 XPP_IN/0/0/10 FXOLS (In use) 
          12 XPP_IN/0/0/11 FXOLS (In use) 
          13 XPP_IN/0/0/12 FXOLS (In use) 
          14 XPP_IN/0/0/13 FXOLS (In use)
