B401p install problems

Asterisk Asterisk Support

I’m having problems installing a B401p in to a Centos 5 server… I’m
following the PDF manual (B410P-08-26-2006.pdf) This is the first time
I’ve installed this card. The card was purchased from Telappliant in the
UK last week.

cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 (mockbuild@builder6.centos.org) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Thu Jun 14 17:29:04 EDT 2007

lspci 03:06.0 ISDN controller: Digium, Inc. Unknown device b410 (rev 01)

I make zaptel:

[quote]make clean
make install
make b410p[/quote]

I then make asterisk

[quote]make
make install[/quote]

I then configure the driver:

/etc/init.d/misdn-init config [OK] /etc/misdn-init.conf already present. backing it up to /etc/misdn-init.conf.save [OK] /etc/misdn-init.conf created. It's now safe to run "/etc/init.d/misdn-init start" [ii] make your ports (1-4) available in asterisk by editing "/etc/asterisk/misdn.conf"

I then edit /etc/misdn-init.conf :

card=1,0x4 te_ptp=1,2,3,4 poll=128 dsp_options=0 debug=0xf

I then load the driver:

[code]/etc/init.d/misdn-init start

Loading module(s) for your misdn-cards:

modprobe --ignore-install hfcmulti type=0x4 protocol=0x12,0x12,0x12,0x12

dmesg | grep Digium HFC-MULTI: Card 'HFC-4S Digium Card' found, but not given by module's options, ignoring...

I then edit /etc/asterisk/misdn.conf

In my extensions.conf I have:

When I try to call 101, I get:

-- Executing NoOp("SIP/5201-c000ce30", "") in new stack -- Executing NoOp("SIP/5201-c000ce30", "") in new stack -- Executing Goto("SIP/5201-c000ce30", "local|101|1") in new stack -- Goto (local,101,1) -- Executing NoOp("SIP/5201-c000ce30", "") in new stack -- Executing NoOp("SIP/5201-c000ce30", "") in new stack -- Executing Dial("SIP/5201-c000ce30", "mISDN/1/01344400000") in new stack Jun 27 10:34:26 WARNING[3497]: channel.c:2618 ast_request: No channel type registered for 'mISDN' Jun 27 10:34:26 NOTICE[3497]: app_dial.c:1076 dial_exec_full: Unable to create channel of type 'mISDN' (cause 66 - Channel not implemented) == Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/0/1)

If I run: misdnportinfo I get:

Found no card. Please be sure to load card drivers. mISDN_close: fid(3) isize(131072) inbuf(0x116b00a0) irp(0x116b00a0) iend(0x116b00a0)

I’ve obviously gone wrong somewhere and have missed something… can anyone shed any light please?

From the look of the logs, it appears that the driver isn’t finding the card.

I’d try downloading the latest version of mISDN and mISDNuser from www.misdn.org and recompiling.

Here’s what I did:

[quote]/etc/init.d/misdn-init stop
cd /usr/src
wget misdn.org/downloads/releases … 1_4.tar.gz
wget misdn.org/downloads/releases … 1_4.tar.gz
tar -xzf mISDN-1_1_4.tar.gz
mv mISDN-1_1_4 mISDN
cd mISDN
make
make install
cd …
tar -xzf mISDNuser-1_1_4.tar.gz
mv mISDNuser-1_1_4 mISDNuser
cd mISDNuser
make
make install[/quote]

Then re-run the config steps as you did before (e.g. /etc/init.d/misdn-init config etc…)

Before starting Asterisk, you should be able to run misdnportinfo and it should report the 4 ports on the card. If that fails, then you’ve still got a driver issue, and there’s no point looking at the Asterisk config.

Assuming that the driver is working, you may need to recompile Asterisk (chan_misdn) to ensure that it picks up the latest code from mISDNuser.

Thanks, we did get this working just by installing it again!
