[Asterisk-Users] Static on TDM Zaptel FXO

Wed May 18 11:54:23 MST 2005

I still need to experiment with it, so I am not sure yet.  When I have
it I will post the settings.  I really don't have a clear understanding
yet of the principles for using gain.  Are there, for example, specific
reasons for different settings.  All I want is to be sure I can hear the
other party, and they can hear me in the proper volume.

I have that exact setup and am getting a echo at the beginning of a
inbound call. What gain settings work best for you?

Hello Bryce,
Gain settings do seem to have an effect.  I am going from a Cisco
7960>Asterisk>Zap TDM Card>POTS

Thanks,
Greg

That type of echo is usually caused by incorrectly (or not at all) tuned
gain settings in zapata.conf. I don't know what kind of phones you're
using, but for Asterisk to even be able to detect DTMF tones on our
Sayson / Aastra 390s and 480s, our FXS channels are set to -5.0 on both
rx and txgain. If you're using externally-powered phones (as in not your
ordinary joe-schmoe analog phone), I have found that they're usually
pretty "hot" (loud) and Asterisk can't understand what is said.
Good luck!
