[Asterisk-Users] Interface * with ATA from ATA FXS port? (Here I go again)

[Robert Webb]

Well, I thought I had my problem solved, but it is acting up again.
Hopefully this time I can provide enough information.

What I have is an * box setup with one X100P and TDM400 with one FXO and
one FXS. For my regular setup with interfacing with my PSTN and my
entire house with analog phones, the box is working great.

I am trying to interface a Mediatrix 1202 device to my * box via the
Mediatrix FXS port, I have VoIP service through Broadvox Direct, to one
of the FXO ports on my * box. The issues I am having are happening with
both the X100P and TDM FXO ports.

The issue I am seeing is that the FXO on * is detecting the ring and *
is picking up the line and running through the setup I have in the
extensions.conf. But the Mediatrix is not recognizing that the * box has
answered the line and continues to ring and then dump into voicemail
with Broadvox Direct.

In the output below, you will see where ZAP/1 answers but then show a
warning where it is still detecting ringing even though the port is
supposed to be off hook. 

NOTE: This never happens with a standard PSTN connection and I have
tested this on both FXO ports with the same results.

One additional note. When running the ztmonitor utility with everything
at idle and the Mediatrix plugged into the FXO port I see this:

Visual Audio Levels.
--------------------
 Use zapata.conf file to adjust the gains if needed.

( # = Audio Level  * = Max Audio Hit )
<----------------(RX)---------------->
<----------------(TX)---------------->
###################*


But as soon as I disconnect the phone cord I see:

Visual Audio Levels.
--------------------
 Use zapata.conf file to adjust the gains if needed.

( # = Audio Level  * = Max Audio Hit )
<----------------(RX)---------------->
<----------------(TX)---------------->


I have also tried several different phone cords with this same setup.

Any ideas?? 

Will be glad to provide any additional info you made need. I did not see
any type of debugging for the ZAP channels like there are for SIP and
IAX or else I would have provided some of that info also.
