Is there a way on a VIC FXO to find out if there is an actual line plugged in to it?
I know on a Linksys Gateway SPA400 the minute you plug the line in, the voltage indicator will change; which indicates that it's actually plugged into something. Is there a similar info on a Cisco FXO or something similar?
Thanks.

Not really. You can attempt a call with csim start and on a disconnected port you you see lack of current loop when off-hook, with "debug vpm signal"

On the ISR router with a FXO port you can also use a command to verify voltage for the voice port. There is a Cisco document that details the command used below, it will report if there is any voltage on the fxo port in question. I used this command to remotely troubleshoot an outage report for an overhead paging system. The paging system is providing the voltage/battery. If this was a CO type line, then, again the PSTN is providing the battery, so if it is connected to the fxo, you must have voltage.
Example:
> term mon
> test voice port port# si-reg-read 29 1
>
> A value of 0x00 indicates there is no voltage being seen on the line/voice port.
> You need the terminal monitor command to see the output of this command on the screen.

To the person that rated my post an "1":
you're misusing the rating system, because the information that I gave is correct to the best of my knowledge, and given in good will.

I know this thread is kinda old but incase anyone passes by this thread looking for an answer to the same question as the original poster.
test voice port x/x/x si-reg-read 29 1 | This command can help in detecting if the line connected to the port has a current; Need to look for anything not 0x00. since 0x00 means no electric current |

Although relatively simple I use a "show voice port summary" and then call into the FXO line. You will see the port chaning status to ring-detected, if the status show no change, then there's nothing connected.

thanx a lot... I hadn't an analog phone to test a line, your answer is a piece of gold.
Who told that a 4 years answer would help me?
