Dahdi dialing out problem

I have installed a TDM22B card in my asterisk server and installed its drivers too. when i try to call on a pstn line, it get the following error.

-- Executing [97789@incoming1:1] Dial("SIP/5403-00000002", "DAHDI/g0/7789") in new stack

The dahdi is installed.

the following is dahdi_channels.conf file

i don’t have plugged in the power for the FXS interfaces thats why FXS1 AND FXS2 ARE NOT CONFIGURED.

THIS IS MY EXTENSIONS.CONF PSTN CONFIG.

What does lsmod show (OS shell level)?

What error messages appear in the Asterisk logs when trying to load chan_dahdi during startup?

here is the output of lsmod at the OS Shell

Can you post your configuration from /etc/dahdi/system.conf

What do you see when you run on os-level dahdi_tool
Do you see your card there, do you see alarms?

the problem seems with the chan_dahdi.conf file. it prevents the module from loading.

this might be helpful.

when i try to load the chan_dahdi.so manually, i get this

and then

i would like to remind that my card is TDM22B, two FXS and two FXOs. there was no power slot available for the FXS modules, so they are not plugged in with power. only port 3 and 4 have their lights on.

i have got the problem. it is because of the signalling but i am not clear with it. I would like to state my configuration once more. i had no power slot available for the FXS interfaces of the TDM22B analog interface card. so FXS 1 AND 2 are not supposed to work and their lights are OFF too. Port 3 and 4 are FXOs. and i have plugged two PSTN lines in them.

this is my system.conf file

fxoks = 1-2
fxsks = 3-4
echocanceller = mg2,3-4

Global data

loadzone = us
defaultzone = us

when i restart dahdi, i get this

the dahdi module is loaded but this happens only when i have moved the chan_dahdi.conf and dahdi-channels.conf from the /etc/asterisk directory.

when they are there then chan_dahdi.so is not loaded as i don’t get the output of dahdi show version.

there is some problem in these files. i could not understand. i am posting them too. and please guide me in fixing the signalling warning which when i try to reload dahdi from OS shell level.

;
; PRI Dialplan: The ISDN-level Type Of Number (TON) or numbering plan, used for
; the dialed number. For most installations, leaving this as ‘unknown’ (the
; default) works in the most cases. In some very unusual circumstances, you
; may need to set this to ‘dynamic’ or ‘redundant’. Note that if you set one
; of the others, you will be unable to dial another class of numbers. For
; example, if you set ‘national’, you will be unable to dial local or
; international numbers.
;
; PRI Local Dialplan: Only RARELY used for PRI (sets the calling number’s
; numbering plan). In North America, the typical use is sending the 10 digit
; callerID number and setting the prilocaldialplan to ‘national’ (the default).

; ‘lrev’ Line reversed to indicate messages waiting.
; ‘hvdc’ 90Vdc OnHook DC voltage to indicate messages waiting.
; ‘hvac’ or ‘neon’ 90Vac OnHook AC voltage to light Neon bulb.

; Also enables call parking (overrides the ‘canpark’ parameter)
;
; For digital ports using ISDN PRI protocols:
; Support switch-side transfer (called 2BCT, RLT or other names)
; This setting must be enabled on both ports involved, and the

;
; Stutter dialtone support: If a mailbox is specified without a voicemail
; context, then when voicemail is received in a mailbox in the default
; voicemail context in voicemail.conf, taking the phone off hook will cause a
; stutter dialtone instead of a normal one.
;
; If a mailbox is specified with a voicemail context, the same will result
; if voicemail received in mailbox in the specified voicemail context.
;
; for default voicemail context, the example below is fine:
;
;mailbox=1234
;
; for any other voicemail context, the following will produce the stutter tone:

;mailbox=1234@context
;
; Enable echo cancellation
; Use either “yes”, “no”, or a power of two from 32 to 256 if you wish to
; actually set the number of taps of cancellation.
;
; Note that when setting the number of taps, the number 256 does not translate
; to 256 ms of echo cancellation. echocancel=256 means 256 / 8 = 32 ms.
;
; Note that if any of your DAHDI cards have hardware echo cancellers,
; then this setting only turns them on and off; numeric settings will
; be treated as “yes”. There are no special settings required for
; hardware echo cancellers; when present and enabled in their kernel
; modules, they take precedence over the software echo canceller compiled
; into DAHDI automatically.
;
;
echocancel=128
;
; Some DAHDI echo cancellers (software and hardware) support adjustable
; parameters; these parameters can be supplied as additional options to
; the ‘echocancel’ setting. Note that Asterisk does not attempt to
; validate the parameters or their values, so if you supply an invalid
; parameter you will not know the specific reason it failed without
; checking the kernel message log for the error(s) put there by DAHDI.
;
;echocancel=128,param1=32,param2=0,param3=14
;
; Generally, it is not necessary (and in fact undesirable) to echo cancel when
; the circuit path is entirely TDM. You may, however, change this behavior
; by enabling the echo canceller during pure TDM bridging below.
;
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
;
; In some cases, the echo canceller doesn’t train quickly enough and there
; is echo at the beginning of the call. Enabling echo training will cause
; DAHDI to briefly mute the channel, send an impulse, and use the impulse
; response to pre-train the echo canceller so it can start out with a much
; closer idea of the actual echo. Value may be “yes”, “no”, or a number of
; milliseconds to delay before training (default = 400)
;
; WARNING: In some cases this option can make echo worse! If you are
; trying to debug an echo problem, it is worth checking to see if your echo
; is better with the option set to yes or no. Use whatever setting gives
; the best results.
;
; Note that these parameters do not apply to hardware echo cancellers.

; If you are having trouble with DTMF detection, you can relax the DTMF

; increases the volume level on a channel, and a
; negavive value decreases volume level.
;
; There are several independent gain settings:
; rxgain: gain for the rx (receive - into Asterisk) channel. Default: 0.0
; txgain: gain for the tx (transmit - out of Asterisk Asterisk) channel.
; Default: 0.0
; cid_rxgain: set the gain just for the caller ID sounds Asterisk
; emits. Default: 5.0 .

rxgain=3.0

; Logical groups can be assigned to allow outgoing roll-over. Groups range
; from 0 to 63, and multiple groups can be specified. By default the

; override a previous non-empty one. The same applies to callgroup and
; pickupgroup as well.
;
group=1

;
; SMDI (Simplified Message Desk Interface) can be enabled on a per-channel

;
;usesmdi=yes
;smdiport=/dev/ttyS0
;
; On trunk interfaces (FXS) and E&M interfaces (E&M, Wink, Feature Group D
; etc, it can be useful to perform busy detection either in an effort to
; detect hangup or for detecting busies. This enables listening for
; the beep-beep busy pattern.
;
;busydetect=yes
;
; If busydetect is enabled, it is also possible to specify how many busy tones
; to wait for before hanging up. The default is 3, but it might be
; safer to set to 6 or even 8. Mind that the higher the number, the more
; time that will be needed to hangup a channel, but lowers the probability
; that you will get random hangups.
;
;busycount=6
;
; If busydetect is enabled, it is also possible to specify the cadence of your
; busy signal. In many countries, it is 500msec on, 500msec off. Without
; busypattern specified, we’ll accept any regular sound-silence pattern that
; repeats times as a busy signal. If you specify busypattern,
; then we’ll further check the length of the sound (tone) and silence, which
; will further reduce the chance of a false positive.
;
;busypattern=500,500
;
; NOTE: In make menuselect, you’ll find further options to tweak the busy
; detector. If your country has a busy tone with the same length tone and
; silence (as many countries do), consider enabling the
; BUSYDETECT_COMPARE_TONE_AND_SILENCE option.
;
; To further detect which hangup tone your telco provider is sending, it is
; useful to use the dahdi_monitor utility to record the audio that main/dsp.c
; is receiving after the caller hangs up.
;
; Use a polarity reversal to mark when a outgoing call is answered by the
; remote party.
;
;answeronpolarityswitch=yes
;
; In some countries, a polarity reversal is used to signal the disconnect of a

;
; On trunk interfaces (FXS) it can be useful to attempt to follow the progress
; of a call through RINGING, BUSY, and ANSWERING. If turned on, call
; progress attempts to determine answer, busy, and ringing on phone lines.
; This feature is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and can easily detect false answers,
; so don’t count on it being very accurate.
;
; Few zones are supported at the time of this writing, but may be selected
; with “progzone”.
;
; progzone also affects the pattern used for buzydetect (unless
; busypattern is set explicitly). The possible values are:
; us (default)
; ca (alias for ‘us’)
; cr (Costa Rica)
; br (Brazil, alias for ‘cr’)

; The default is -1: not to set anything.
;tonezone = 0 ; 0 is US
;
; FXO (FXS signalled) devices must have a timeout to determine if there was a

; When ‘faxdetect’ is used, one could use ‘faxbuffers’ to configure the DAHDI

; be used only if the sending side can create and the receiving
; side can not accept jitter. The DAHDI channel can’t accept jitter,
; thus an enabled jitterbuffer on the receive DAHDI side will always
; be used if the sending side can create jitter.

; jbmaxsize = 200 ; Max length of the jitterbuffer in milliseconds.

; jbresyncthreshold = 1000 ; Jump in the frame timestamps over which the jitterbuffer is
; resynchronized. Useful to improve the quality of the voice, with
; big jumps in/broken timestamps, usually sent from exotic devices
; and programs. Defaults to 1000.

; jbimpl = fixed ; Jitterbuffer implementation, used on the receiving side of a DAHDI
; channel. Two implementations are currently available - “fixed”
; (with size always equals to jbmax-size) and “adaptive” (with
; variable size, actually the new jb of IAX2). Defaults to fixed.

; jbtargetextra = 40 ; This option only affects the jb when ‘jbimpl = adaptive’ is set.
; The option represents the number of milliseconds by which the new
; jitter buffer will pad its size. the default is 40, so without
; modification, the new jitter buffer will set its size to the jitter
; value plus 40 milliseconds. increasing this value may help if your
; network normally has low jitter, but occasionally has spikes.

; jblog = no ; Enables jitterbuffer frame logging. Defaults to “no”.

; ---------------- Options for use with signalling=mfcr2 --------------

; MFC-R2 signaling has lots of variants from country to country and even sometimes
; minor variants inside the same country. The only mandatory parameters here are:
; mfcr2_variant, mfcr2_max_ani and mfcr2_max_dnis.
; IT IS RECOMMENDED that you leave the default values (leaving it commented) for the
; other parameters unless you have problems or you have been instructed to change some
; parameter. OpenR2 library uses the mfcr2_variant parameter to try to determine the
; best defaults for your country, also refer to the OpenR2 package directory
; doc/asterisk/ where you can find sample configurations for some countries. If you
; want to contribute your configs for a particular country send them to the e-mail
; of the primary OpenR2 developer that you can find in the AUTHORS file of the OpenR2 package

; MFC/R2 variant. This depends on the OpenR2 supported variants
; A list of values can be found by executing the openr2 command r2test -l
; some valid values are:
; ar (Argentina)
; br (Brazil)
; mx (Mexico)
; ph (Philippines)
; itu (per ITU spec)
; mfcr2_variant=mx

; Max amount of ANI to ask for
; mfcr2_max_ani=10

; Max amount of DNIS to ask for
; mfcr2_max_dnis=4

; whether or not to get the ANI before getting DNIS.
; some telcos require ANI first some others do not care
; if this go wrong, change this value
; mfcr2_get_ani_first=no

; Caller Category to send
; national_subscriber
; national_priority_subscriber
; international_subscriber
; international_priority_subscriber
; collect_call
; usually national_subscriber works just fine
; you can change this setting from the dialplan
; by setting the variable MFCR2_CATEGORY
; (remember to set _MFCR2_CATEGORY from originating channels)
; MFCR2_CATEGORY will also be a variable available in your context
; on incoming calls set to the value received from the far end
; mfcr2_category=national_subscriber

; Call logging is stored at the Asterisk
; logging directory specified in asterisk.conf
; plus mfcr2/
; if you specify ‘span1’ here and asterisk.conf has
; as logging directory /var/log/asterisk then the full
; path to your MFC/R2 call logs will be /var/log/asterisk/mfcr2/span1
; (the directory will be automatically created if not present already)
; remember to set mfcr2_call_files=yes
; mfcr2_logdir=span1

; whether or not to drop call files into mfcr2_logdir
; mfcr2_call_files=yes|no

; MFC/R2 valid logging values are: all,error,warning,debug,notice,cas,mf,stack,nothing
; error,warning,debug and notice are self-descriptive
; ‘cas’ is for logging ABCD CAS tx and rx
; ‘mf’ is for logging of the Multi Frequency tones
; ‘stack’ is for very verbose output of the channel and context call stack, only useful
; if you are debugging a crash or want to learn how the library works. The stack logging
; will be only enabled if the openr2 library was compiled with -DOR2_TRACE_STACKS
; You can mix up values, like: loglevel=error,debug,mf to log just error, debug and
; multi frequency messages
; ‘all’ is a special value to log all the activity
; ‘nothing’ is a clean-up value, in case you want to not log any activity for
; a channel or group of channels
; BE AWARE that the level of output logged will ALSO depend on
; the value you have in logger.conf, if you disable output in logger.conf
; then it does not matter you specify ‘all’ here, nothing will be logged
; so logger.conf has the last word on what is going to be logged
; mfcr2_logging=all

; MFC/R2 value in milliseconds for the MF timeout. Any negative value
; means ‘default’, smaller values than 500ms are not recommended
; and can cause malfunctioning. If you experience protocol error
; due to MF timeout try incrementing this value in 500ms steps
; mfcr2_mfback_timeout=-1

; MFC/R2 value in milliseconds for the metering pulse timeout.
; Metering pulses are sent by some telcos for some R2 variants
; during a call presumably for billing purposes to indicate costs,
; however this pulses use the same signal that is used to indicate
; call hangup, therefore a timeout is sometimes required to distinguish
; between a real hangup and a billing pulse that should not
; last more than 500ms, If you experience call drops after some
; minutes of being stablished try setting a value of some ms here,
; values greater than 500ms are not recommended.
; BE AWARE that choosing the proper protocol mfcr2_variant parameter
; implicitly sets a good recommended value for this timer, use this
; parameter only when you really want to override the default, otherwise
; just comment out this value or put a -1
; Any negative value means ‘default’.
; mfcr2_metering_pulse_timeout=-1

; Brazil uses a special calling party category for collect calls (llamadas por cobrar)
; instead of using the operator (as in Mexico). The R2 spec in Brazil says a special GB tone
; should be used to reject collect calls. If you want to ALLOW collect calls specify ‘yes’,
; if you want to BLOCK collect calls then say ‘no’. Default is to block collect calls.
; (see also ‘mfcr2_double_answer’)
; mfcr2_allow_collect_calls=no

; This feature is related but independent of mfcr2_allow_collect_calls
; Some PBX’s require a double-answer process to block collect calls, if
; you ever have problems blocking collect calls using Group B signals (mfcr2_allow_collect_calls=no)
; then you may want to try with mfcr2_double_answer=yes, this will cause that every answer signal
; is changed by answer->clear back->answer (sort of a flash)
; (see also ‘mfcr2_allow_collect_calls’)
; mfcr2_double_answer=no

; This feature allows to skip the use of Group B/II signals and go directly
; to the accepted state for incoming calls

; When this is set to yes, all calls that are offered (incoming calls) which
; DNIS is valid (exists in extensions.conf) and pass collect call validation
; will be accepted with a Group B tone (either call with charge or not, depending on mfcr2_charge_calls)
; with this set to ‘no’ then the call will NOT be accepted on offered, and the call will start its
; execution in extensions.conf without being accepted until the channel is answered (either with Answer() or
; any other application resulting in the channel being answered).
; This can be set to ‘no’ if your telco or PBX needs the hangup cause to be set accurately
; when this option is set to no you must explicitly accept the call with DAHDIAcceptR2Call
; or implicitly through the Answer() application.

; Brazil use a special signal to force the release of the line (hangup) from the
; backward perspective. When mfcr2_forced_release=no, the normal clear back signal
; will be sent on hangup, which is OK for all mfcr2 variants I know of, except for
; Brazilian variant, where the central will leave the line up for several seconds (30, 60)
; which sometimes is not what people really want. When mfcr2_forced_release=yes, a different
; signal will be sent to hangup the call indicating that the line should be released immediately
; mfcr2_forced_release=no

; Whether or not report to the other end ‘accept call with charge’
; This setting has no effect with most telecos, usually is safe
; leave the default (yes), but once in a while when interconnecting with
; old PBXs this may be useful.
; Concretely this affects the Group B signal used to accept calls
; The application DAHDIAcceptR2Call can also be used to decide this
; in the dial plan in a per-call basis instead of doing it here for all calls

; ---------------- END of options to be used with signalling=mfcr2

; Configuration Sections
; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
; You can also configure channels in a separate chan_dahdi.conf section. In
; this case the keyword ‘channel’ is not used. Instead the keyword
; ‘dahdichan’ is used (as in users.conf) - configuration is only processed
; in a section where the keyword dahdichan is used. It will only be
; processed in the end of the section. Thus the following section:
;
;[phones]
;echocancel = 64
;dahdichan = 1-8
;group = 1
;
; Is somewhat equivalent to the following snippet in the section
; [channels]:
;
;echocancel = 64
;group = 1
;channel => 1-8
;
; When starting a new section almost all of the configuration values are
; copied from their values at the end of the section [channels] in
; chan_dahdi.conf and [general] in users.conf - one section’s configuration
; does not affect another one’s.
;
; Instead of letting common configuration values “slide through” you can
; use configuration templates to easily keep the common part in one
; place and override where needed.

sorry for troubling you all. the problem was with the chan_dahdi.conf file.
i had defined the channel configurations twice, which created the problem. i deleted the unnecessary part and everything works fine now.

SOLVED… SORRY FOR TROUBLING YOU ALL…
