[asterisk-users] Configuring OpenVOX A400P issues

[Kaya Saman]

Thanks Vladimir for the response and apologies for my extremely late 
one! This week was quite crazy!!

I have just upgraded my server to FreePBX to take advantage of an 
"up-to-date" system.

I migrated the original config over with a few set changes.

I altered this in /etc/dahdi/system.conf:

# cat system.conf
# Autogenerated by /usr/sbin/dahdi_genconf on Sat May 19 20:22:49 2012
# If you edit this file and execute /usr/sbin/dahdi_genconf again,

fxoks=1
echocanceller=mg2,1
fxsks=2
echocanceller=mg2,2
# channel 3, WCTDM/4/2, no module.

I think the above took care of that too.....

New build straight from CD so no issues here anymore as far as I could 
see in the logs.

Still shows up as red :-(

# lsdahdi
### Span  1: WCTDM/4 "Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F Board 5" (MASTER)
   1 FXS        FXOKS       (In use)
   2 FXO        FXSKS        RED
   3 unknown    Reserved
   4 unknown    Reserved

Channel 1 is not "in use" though it's free as in no one is using it?
-plus when press green button on DECT handset I get dialtone.

However, plugging an old non-cordless POTs handset into the 10meter 
cable I have going from the PSTN line over to the Asterisk server did 
come up with a lot of noise on the line. I think it's because it's a 10 
meter cable and it does cross over some power sockets so probably 
picking up 50Hz hum and additionally other signal residue from around 
(Electronics 1-0-1 long cable = antenna).
- Can't asterisk clean this up using digital filters, or can anything 
else be done for it?

I run my PBX in a 72" rack sitting in my living room and there isn't 
enough space to put the thing next to the PSTN socket!

I looked at this but couldn't figure out where to obtain fxstest from as 
it's not in the yum repos and Google doesn't come up with any answers 
either??
