ringstat

RINGSTAT(1)						    Voicetronix Telephony Tools 					       RINGSTAT(1)

NAME

       ringstat - Perform a simple test of FXS (station) port ring and audio paths.

SYNOPSIS

       ringstat [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The ringstat utility performs a simple test of FXS port ring circuits.  It exercises the card base functions including the audio path, ring
       and hook detection.  The ports will ring while on hook, play 10 seconds of dial tone if taken off hook, then ring again when they  go  back
       on hook.

       Press any key (on the keyboard) to end this test.

OPTIONS

       The following options are available:

       --help, -?
	      Show summary of options.

       --card number
	      Explicitly select the card to test.  Default is card 0.

       --module number
	      Explicitly  select the module of a card to test.	Default assumes 8 ports on the card to test.  Valid values here are presently 0 or
	      1.  It also assumes all modules have 4 ports.  This option may change in the future.
