[asterisk-users] TDM410 PTSN line setup with 1 analog phone

[Joseph Towery]

Thanks Lyle,

Sorry to sound so much like a newb but in asterisk I am.  I was initially trying 
to do things by hand in the extensions.conf file and had no luck.  I then got 
from SVN checkout asterisk-gui and used it to simply try and get things started, 
and created a trunk, users, incoming rule, etc. from the gui and finally got 
dial tone, and can dial out, but I haven't got the analog phone ringing yet.  I 
will have more targeted questions in the near future.  It is just hard to find 
"google" help for analog answers.  Most deal with SIP (which is my next step 
once I have the analog lines working).

Thanks,

An FXO port needs to be connected to dial tone or your PSTN line.      And an 
FXS port needs to be connected to the station equipment(ie. a     physical 
phone).

The TDM410 is basically a channel bank to Asterisk, so the channel     type 
inside Asterisk is FXO to talk to the physical FXS card and FXS     to talk to 
the physical FXO port.

everything by hand) with a TDM410 with           2FXO and 2FXS.  I have my POTS 
(PTNS) line plugged into port 1           (FXO) and a analog phone connected to 
port 3 (FXS).  I           compiled asterisk with asterisk samples so I realize 
that may           have messed me up.
