NAME
       fxstest - Simple tests for DAHDI FXS adapters

SYNOPSIS
       fxstest /dev/dahdi/N comand

DESCRIPTION
       fxstest can be used to issue one of a number simple tests to FXS adapters (analog adapters intended to connect phones).

OPTIONS
       All of those tests operate on a single dahdi channel which has to be an FXS port, and must not be in use by Asterisk or any other program.

       The  command  has two mandatory parameters.  The first parameter is the device file to operate on. It is typically /dev/dahdi/NN , a device
       file under /dev/dahdi .

       The second parameter is the name of the command to run on that channel:

       stats
	      Reports voltages

       regdump
	      Dumps ProSLIC registers

       tones
	      Plays a series of tones

       polarity
	      Requests channel to reverse polarity.

       ring
	      Rings phone

SEE ALSO
       dahdi_tool(8), dahdi_cfg(8), dahdi_monitor(8), asterisk(8).

BUGS
       Does not allow testing channels beyond 249. Should support opening channels through /dev/dahdi/channel .
