FXS starts "ringing" immediately when off hook

Hi Everyone,

This is a Zaptel (TDM400) channel that used to work. Evidently I’ve changed something and cannot understand how now, my two FXS fail to work properly.

Enclosed is the log for the whole (off hook, ring, click, busy) cycle.

I’d really appreciate some enlightenment on this one!

cheers,

I guess the first place you should start is your zapata.conf file.

Can we have a look at it?

Dah! …and then I found it! I think it’s an Rxgain setting that I’d changed and completely forgotten about…

This didn’t have an effect until I rebooted the box completely, which was some days ago.
