Hello!



Our phone guys asked me is it possible to turn off dial tone on cisco



827-4v connected to pbx. I can't find is is possible or not :-(

Could you help me?


Hi Dmitry,

Do you need to just deactivate ports? Then you may just shut them down, something like:

voice-port 0/1/0 shut

Also, what type of ports they are? FXS? FXO? What are you trying to achieve?

Good luck,

Hello!

As I wrote port type is fxs, and I want to have port in operational state, but without dial-tone...

So, you want users to get the handset, hear a "dead air", and being able to dial the number? Why would you do that?

Hello!

i have set up permanent voice links (for a radio studio - cue and talkback circuits).

key issue was that the link comes up on its own (ie the router sets up the call internally once the link is up and the far end reachable) - no external voice dialling etc - is that what you mean?

If so, look at the "connection trunk" command - i used it with E&M as we wanted 4 wire analog voice, but it should work with any analog interface type.
