[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel and Boostringer

[Ian Pattison]

Hi All,

For some time now I've had issues with ringing voltages on my TDM400P. Numerous folks have told me that using "modprobe wcfxs boostringer=1"  when loading the module will force the driver to use boosted ring voltage. For some strange reason this has never worked for me. Today I got creative... another way to do it is to edit wcfxs.c (in the zaptel CVS) and find the following block of declarations:

static int debug = 0;
static int robust = 0;
static int timingonly = 0;
static int lowpower = 0;
static int boostringer = 0;
static int _opermode = 0;
static char *opermode = "FCC";
static int fxshonormode = 0;

set boostringer=1 instead of 0 and recompile Zaptel. The FXS ports will be forced to generate 89V ring signals from now on.

Now if I can just stop the FXO ports from dropping calls....

Thanks,

Ian
