Red usually means that it doesn't see battery on the line input.
Do you have a station line connected, either from the local phone 
company, another PBX with a POTS port or ??

Conceptually this card replaces a Plain Old Telephone Set.

Be advised that even though Zaptel knows there is nothing connected, 
Asterisk doesn't, and will blind dial and not detect Dial Tone.
The clone cards seem to work OK in the US or elsewhere that there are 
600 ohm subscriber lines, but reportedly in the UK and elsewhere  echo 
can be a problem.
