Must You Have Pbx To Use Dialogic Cards?

[Guest ooper]

Just wondering if you have to have a PBX to use Dialogic D/4PCIU cards? I have a small home-based business. I called Qwest to run a new phone line for the business and have a new phone jack that I plugged into the D/4PCIU. Should this work?

 

There was a note in the quick install guide that said, "A standard telephone will not function when directly connected to the board". Not sure what this meant exactly.

The Dialogic card will answer a ringing line.

Yes.

Correct. The statement above says "A standard telephone" not "A standard telephone line". If you just connect a telephone handset to a Dialogic card that telephone handset will not do anything...
