0) A more specific subject will get more specific answers.

Your description sounds like:

You have an incoming PSTN connected to a junction strip. You have 
telephones and your Asterisk server connected to the junction strip.

"Ringing" will be present at the telephones and the Asterisk server at the 
same time because they are connected together at the same point. There is 
no way for Asterisk to ring before the telephones unless your telephones 
don't ring immediately.

If you want Asterisk to handle all incoming calls, the telephones will 
need to be connected to the TDM400 as well as the incoming PSTN.

What changes were introduced because of the storm?
