The doc directory goes into further detail, in specific areas.
The voip-info.org web site has a lot of information, although some of it is unreliable or obsolete.
If you have questions on specific details, you can ask here, but please show what you have tried and at least the verbose logging from it. You will get the best results if you have made simple mistake and it is clear what that is, and can be answered in few words.
If you don’t have time to read the documentation, there is a jobs forum, where you can ask for paid support.
If you have a current genuine Digium card, you may be able to get support from Digium, but I don’t know the limits of that support. Digium do not support their products on this forum.
The FXO module can receive calls from an analogue PSTN line or an extension (FXS) port on a PABX that implements a standard analogue telephone interface. It can also originate calls on such lines.
In both cases, it makes the call available to the CPU on the host PC. That CPU, and the program it is running, e.g. Astgerisk, is responsible for accessing other hardware, e.g. an ethernet interface, for VoIP phones, or an FXS module, for analogue telephones, and forwarding the speech too and from it.
The FXS interfaces may be part of an analogue telephone adaptor (ATA), which looks like a VoIP phone to the PC.
First off you say you’ve created an extension (500) on your OpenVOX card with an FXO interface. You need to create a trunk to point to the card and it’s FXO interface(s) not an extension. Extensions are for phones (SIP/Analogue/etc). For analogue phones you will need some FXS interfaces provided by either an interface card on the Asterisk server or via some sort of Analogue Telephone Adapter (ATA). To be honest it might cost almost as much to buy ATA’s as it would to simply replace the old analogue phones with IP handsets.
but let me make my idea more clear , i have my PBX with one FXO port this port connect to a Panasonic system which have a many of analog phones and two PSTN lines okay , as i said i created a EX 500 as Zap when i calling it from sip phone it give me the line that on a Panasonic system & i can call any analog phone or make a outside call .
what i want to do now to make a call from analog phone to sip phone both of them r in the internal network connected together through the FXO port .
Note that “zap” is obsolete. Otherwise this should be a very normal configuration for which peer support is inappropriate until you hit a specific problem.
