Hm, yeah, I figured it was something like this, but at this point it's not even a question of needing to use AN analog answering machine, but rather this _particular_ machine. :( Are there any system tweaks I can try to increase the voltage (or whatever it is that's actually causing this)?

Thanks,

Yeah try a different answering machine. I had problems with a cordless phone (cant remember the problem) but after swapping it out with a different brand it worked just fine.

Sounds like the asterisk system is not sourcing enough line current on the
FXS port, and the answering machine may think the line has hung up. This
is what the answering machine is supposed to do, for example, when someone
picks up another phone on the same line.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Analog answering machine hangs up early

So, I've got an analog fax/answering machine connected to an FXS port on a
TDM400p card, and everything is fine as long as I answer the phone manually.
If, however, I let the answering machine pick it up, it hangs up a few
seconds into playing the greeting.


Don't ask why I want to use this analog machine instead of the voicemail
app- it's a long and dull story. But I can't figure out why it's hanging
up... any thoughts?


Thanks,
+j
