Configuration problem TDM400P with 2 fxo cards and 1 fxs

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I think I have Zaptel and Zapata configured correctly (see configs below), but Asterisk won’t start and returns the error shown in the log.

Can anyone see what I’ve got wrong in the configs (listed below)?

If I comment out the FXS configuration in Zapata.conf, asterisk will start. I also moved the FXS daugher card from channel 1 to 2 and get the same problem. I’ve looked through posts and documents and think that I’ve got it configured right - could it be that the daughter card is bad?. Also, the green LED is on for channels 3 & 4, but not 2. I don’t want to jump to this conclusion and spend $80 on another daughter card until I get a few more opinions.

Thanks for the help

Hi

Whats the output of dmesg and lsmod ?

This should show if the cards loading OK

Thanks, that helps a lot. I’m new to Linux so didn’t know those commands - clearly, I have to plug in the cable.

Here’s the important parts from dmesg:

zaptel: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.
Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196
Zaptel Version: 1.2.4 Echo Canceller: KB1

wctdm: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.

ProSLIC on module 1 failed to powerup within 504 ms (0 mV only)

– DID YOU REMEMBER TO PLUG IN THE HD POWER CABLE TO THE TDM400P??
Unable to do INITIAL ProSLIC powerup on module 1
Unable to do INITIAL ProSLIC powerup on module 1
Module 1: FAILED FXS (FCC)
Module 2: Installed – AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Module 3: Installed – AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Found a Wildcard TDM: Wildcard TDM400P REV I (2 modules)

OOPS… guess I missed the HD POWER CABLE step
