Renato,

Use the 13V signal

Yes, the COR input has a 1 meg resistor and a zener diode on the input.
It will take 13V with no problem.
Do not apply 12V to the UIOA or UIOB pins as they have tiny 220 ohm
resistors in series with the inputs and you could damage the resistors.

Your config file looks good.
If you are using the pciradio driver which came in the asterisk tarball,
then that is the reason why you don't see a green light when the COR is
asserted. Please download a later version pciradio.c from
https://sv.qrvc.com.viewvc.pciradio.
Also to get all of latest features in app_rpt.c download a new version
from https://sv.qrvc.com/viewvc/app_rpt
