[asterisk-users] Problem getting TDM400P clone card to go off-hook and dial

Sat Apr 2 01:11:40 CDT 2011

I am having problems getting a Nicherons TDM400P wildcard clone to dial out.
Everything appears to be configured correctly, but although I see call
progress, it never seems to actually pick up the phone.

(The following is a test of 911 emergency, where I substitute 811 [repair
service] as the actual number dialed.)

*CLI>
    -- Executing [911 at from-internal:1] Goto("SIP/101-00000000",
"nineoneone,s,1") in new stack
    -- Goto (nineoneone,s,1)
    -- Executing [s at nineoneone:1] Set("SIP/101-00000000",
"SET_EMERG_FLAG=0") in new stack
    -- Executing [s at nineoneone:2] ChanIsAvail("SIP/101-00000000", "DAHDI/4")
in new stack
    -- Hanging up on 'DAHDI/4-1'
    -- Hungup 'DAHDI/4-1'
    -- Executing [s at nineoneone:3] Set("SIP/101-00000000",
"GLOBAL(EMERGENCY)=1") in new stack
  == Setting global variable 'EMERGENCY' to '1'
    -- Executing [s at nineoneone:4] Set("SIP/101-00000000",
"SET_EMERG_FLAG=1") in new stack
    -- Executing [s at nineoneone:5] Dial("SIP/101-00000000", "DAHDI/4/811") in
new stack
    -- Called 4/811
    -- DAHDI/4-1 is ringing
  == Extension Changed 101[from-internal] new state Idle for Notify User 101

  == Extension Changed 101[from-internal] new state Idle for Notify User 103

    -- Hanging up on 'DAHDI/4-1'
    -- Hungup 'DAHDI/4-1'
  == Spawn extension (nineoneone, s, 5) exited non-zero on
'SIP/101-00000000'
    -- Executing [h at nineoneone:1] GotoIf("SIP/101-00000000", "1?3") in new
stack
    -- Goto (nineoneone,h,3)
    -- Executing [h at nineoneone:3] Set("SIP/101-00000000",
"GLOBAL(EMERGENCY)=0") in new stack
  == Setting global variable 'EMERGENCY' to '0'
*CLI>

When "DAHDI/4-1 is ringing" appears I indeed hear ringing progress tones,
but they appear to be coming from Asterisk, as the card does not pick up the
phone at this point, or ever. I'm using jack #4 on the board, which is
supposedly an FXO port.

Here's the output from various relevant tools & config files:
