TAMB2 and FXS

cowetacoit

Level 1

We currently have some older TAMBs connected to an FXS port of a router, without having to use a power supply. We can dial the DN of the FXS and get a tone from the TAMB and then start a page. When we're done with the page we can hang up and the pages ends. Bogen stopped making the TAMB and replaced it with a TAMB2. We set up the TAMB2 and FXS exactly like our other configuration but the TAMB2 requires a 24v power supply. When we connect the power supply and make a test page it works but when we hang up the TAMB2 doesn't stop the page. We get a busy tone untill we unplug it. Does anyone know how to get around this? We also orignally started using ATA186/187 but could never make it work.

Thanks!

Hi,

Have look at this link.

May be a "disconnect"option here will fix it

Hi there,

Just to add a note to the good tips from Alex (+5 )

Here is the related TAMB@ info for FXS disconnect;

Station Port Interfacing:

The TAMB2 answers the station port after it detects high

voltage (90V) ring on the line. The unit can be set to answer

the call immediately or after the end of the first ring burst. Once

answered, the unit provides an announcement tone and connects

the telephone line to the paging amplifier through an isolation

transformer. The announcement tone can be set to be

heard only at the paging phone or at both the phone and over

the paging system. The TAMB2 allows bi-directional audio,

both to and from the paging equipment (in the case of talkback

paging equipment). Since the TAMB2 cannot directly

determine the state of the calling partyʼs phone, it must use

indirect methods to determine when to disconnect. Disconnection

of the TAMB2 from the call is controlled through 3

methods. 1) A default timer will drop the call after a preset

amount of time has elapsed (1-200 seconds), 2) A VOX timer

will drop the call after it detects no audio for a preset amount

of time (1-11 seconds), 3) The unit will immediately drop the

line if it detects a CPC pulse (break in loop current) from the

PBX/CO port. Any of these disconnection methods can be inhibited,

however at least one must be enabled to ensure that

the TAMB2 will disconnect.

Cheers!
