Hello, not sure this should be in general or hardware. I have never set up an Asterisk switch before but I have the server installed and running and I have some general questions.
Now my interest is in vintage telephones and using them with modern networks. I have a 4G modem with an analog phone socket. So plugging a phone into that means one can dial the number of the modems sim car and the phone will ring. And vice versa you can ring out.
Can I treat this modem for all intents and purposes as an ATA? It seems to be exactly what it does. If not, what am I missing?
And then what I need on the server is an FXO port to connect Asterisk to the phone line, and one or multiple FXS ports to connect any analog phones to the asterisk server.
I may have gotten the FXS/FXO terminology confused…
