[Asterisk-Users] FXO ATA?

[Tim Connolly]

Pass through has the same functionality as a modem with a "line" and a
"phone" connection. Line is where you plug in the dialtone, the dial passes
through the "phone" connection unless the card picks up (like a modem does).

I have a X100P clone that is setup as a passthrough. I've never seen a pass
through on a FXS, but then I've only messed with ATA-186's recently.

I've seen the pass-through term used alot and
I'm not quite for sure what that means.  What is the 
difference between a passthrough type and a regular
FXO.  What can you do with one that you can't do with
the other?  I noticed that the wiki says  that the handytone 486's 
lifeline FXO port is not usable via SIP, only used as a fallback 
for power failure.  Is this considered a passthrough or are
there 3 types, pass-through, lifeline, and full FXO. 



Thanks,



Jon.
