[General] VoIP For Home Usage

[Faisal AlAbhoul]

Some cards need 4-wires to be powered, by joining 4-wires (2-wires on each end) from the wall socket you'll end up powering the 4 lines in the RJ11 socket in your Vox card, i remember this being done in a forum and worked for some cards. its like flipping a coin but worth trying if all you need to do just change your wiring.

So the "kw" setting did not work with Asterisk 1.6 i take it?

2 gray cables mean you get 4 lines. (1 line for every 2 wires).

If you connect an analog phone, do you get a tone? If not, you need to
reverse the wires, otherwise your setup is fine.

I'm not sure about what Faisal suggested though for the 4 wires. All
the RJ11 cables I have have 4 pins, but only 2 wires are connected,
and it did work before with Asterisk 1.4.
