Plz Help :\ for zoom ata ?

Bubba,
what is the difference between one kind or the other?
I just bought the zoom 5801 to do this bridging, and it has instructions on voip-info (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Zoom+5801), and on manufacturers site (http://www.zoom.com/documentation/voip/ATA_TechnicalReference.pdf), explaining how to do so.

I can make the voip to pstn bridge, but not the opposite way, and I dot no mean to do both at the same time.

If, I pick one of my softphones under asterisk and call the extension atributted to the ATA, it picks up and give the line signal, and so I can dial anynumber trough PSTN, but...

... if I get a PSTN phone and call my ATA number, it never picks up the call. Rings forever.
I´ve already tried to change techinical specifications thinking it might make a difference, but it does not so far.
If I pick up the phone, I get the line signal as well.

Thanks for any help.

Navigator,

I came to conclusion that this ATA is a pain in the ass, when connecting the PSTN to VOIP.
The FXS port works very well, good sound and everything.
But the FXO is trouble.

The only way I´ve managed to connect it to the asterisk was through the hot dial feature. Instead of the 7777, I used the number for one queue I´ve created.
But this option disable the normal use of the FXS port, as when you pick up the phone it dials to the extension number programmed on the hot dial.
And, I experienced some problem with the hang up tone, so a call that came in the PSTN would take more than a minute to hang up, after the remote party disconnected.
More, the ATA would only answer to the calls when rang direct from the operator, when I connected it to a AT&T Partner Plus PBX, the ATA would ring forever and never answers. Yes, I´ve tried every adjust possible on the ATA, ring Impedance, timers and so on.

It is impossible to use both ports at the same time also. And I have all the latest firmwares.
I must be very lucky, because the Zoom support team actually did talk to me, and remotely upgraded my firmware. Most of my searches on the internet says that the support is unresponsive.

It seems that the 3102 is a much better option, but I´m kind of traumatized with these ATA. Too much tweaking to make them work fine.
I´d only use the ATA in order to deploy FXS ports, nowadays.

Anyway, if you want I can try to take screen captures and send them to you.
Just for information, I´m in Brazil and I don´t know about regional settings too much. Maybe I´ve missed something because of it.

My Zoom today is put aside here, and has a SELL sign on it. Anyone interested?

Regards,
