No dial tone on FXS module connectors

Besides, Openvox should give me a dialtone with just load the module driver on OS or the dialtone should be given when asterisk is up and running.?

hello, Dantix:
please post your console in asterisk, then i can help you.
regards!

I have the same situation. One FXS does not give dial tone, whereas the other I have does. Both configured the same.

* All LEDs on the card lights green
* Both showing up fine without errors when Zaptel loads
* Ztcfg reports everything fine
* Asterisk 'zap show channels' says OK
* 'zap show channel XX' says everything is OK
* when I go offhook Asterisk picks it up and starts a simple switch
* When I go onhook asterisk hangs up the channel
* When I call someone they can hear me, but I don't hear them

Once and a while after a full reboot I can hear a vague dial tone which quickly disappears. I suspect the FXS module is broken - can that be so?

What debug data do you wish to see?

hello, could you post your zapata.conf, extensions.conf and log messages. we are able to help to solve the problem.
regards!

the dial tone of fxs port is given by asterisk, not openvox.

you have to registe the channel in to zapata.conf as extension, then asterisk will monitor the pick up event , then play dialtone.

OK, I'm using Trixbox 2.2 with latest Zaptel and Asterisk.

Everything is default, and all was working until a few days ago.

The CLI output has 2 parts:
1) Calling an external phone number - doesn;t work because of my dial plan, but there is no dial tone, but as can be seen the call goes on.

2) Calling internal extension, extension rings. If answered the extension hears me but I hear nothing. There is no dial tone.


Things are working, it's just missing dial tone. The same config was working 2 days ago. Nothing changed, dialtone was just no longer there.

Agreed, it is not the OpenVox card per se that gives the dial tone, I have two FXS modules. One doesn't work, one works fine. Same config, no changes.
