Subject: [asterisk-users] Rotary phone on Asterisk

 

I'm trying to use a couple of old Western Electric type 500 phones (desk
model, rotary dial).  These phones work fine, as tested with telco lines
(they dial, receiver/transmitter works fine, etc).

I'm running Asterisk 1.6.2.11.

I can't get them to dial through Asterisk.  They are connected to a Rhino
channel bank which is connected to Asterisk via a Sangnoma card (T1 with
echo cancellation).  Other phones (touch tone) work fine, as does any phone
with a pulse/tone switch, even when these electronic phones are in "pulse"
mode.

I'm thinking that Asterisk is a bit too picky about the timing of the rotary
dial pulses to handle a mechanical system.  Is there any way to correct
this?
