Error messageZT_SPANCONFIG failed on span 1,invalid argument

Hi
I have a TDM400 and T1 card
zaptel 204292 3 wcfxo,wcte11xp,wctdm
crc_ccitt 2369 1 zaptel

I configured zaptel and zapata.conf for signalling and channels, and did modprobe wctdm,modprobe wcfxo, modprobe wcfxs, modprobe wcte11xp,

now when I do a ztcfg -vv I get this error
[root@localhost sbin]# ./ztcfg -vv

modprobe wctdm,modprobe wcfxo, modprobe wcfxs, modprobe wcte11xp

You said you have two cards wctdm400P and TE110P.
You only need to load the wctdm and wcte11x module to kernel.
wxfxo and wcfxs is not required.

Make sure that you have supplied power to both cards in the PCI slot.
I am saying this because the error
"Unable to specify channel 1: No such device or address "
happens when asterisk cannot detect the card for which you have
written the config settings.

What can you see when you run zttool?
Can you see the WCTDM device?

kat · July 3, 2006, 1:57pm

I see the green lights on back of the TDM card. so I guess power should be fine,
zttool sees the cards but says unconfigured
Alarms Span │
│ UNCONFIGURED Wildcard TDM400P REV I Board 1 ↑ │
│ UNCONFIGURED Digium Wildcard TE110P T1/E1 Card 0

if I do a cat/proc/zaptel/* I get this
Span 1: WCTDM/0 "Wildcard TDM400P REV I Board 1"
1 WCTDM/0/0
2 WCTDM/0/1
3 WCTDM/0/2

25 WCT1/0/21
26 WCT1/0/22
27 WCT1/0/23

so according to this I have the zaptel configured
fxoks=1-3
fxsks=4
bchan=5-27
dchan=28
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs

is there anything wrong with the way I have the channels configured? at this point except for zaptel.conf and zapata.conf is there any other cofig file that needs to be configured to just get dial tone?

thanks,

whoiswes · July 3, 2006, 2:00pm

FYI, i had a very similar issue (a single span T1 card, with two TDM400P cards, all in the same server).

the ONLY fix i could ever come up with was to move the analog ports to the END of the span config.

so i have e&m=1-24 and fxsks=25-32.

works like a champ now.

i know that the analog ports are supposed to come first, but i could never get that to work. you might try reversing everything, just for grins…

kat · July 3, 2006, 2:08pm

whoiswes,
Ok so I should modprobe the T1 first and wctdm second right?

thanks,

whoiswes · July 3, 2006, 2:25pm

if you swap the order, then yes…i think that’s how i got it to work.

also, FWIW, we have a wildcard in another machine that requires the same steps - load the analog ports last. i know this is contrary to the documentation, but it’s the only way we could get everything to load without errors.

let me know if this works for you as well…if it does, i’d like to know more about your config, perhaps there is something common between our two systems that requires this alteration.

kat · July 3, 2006, 2:50pm

I switched the order T1 first and TDM second, it seems that its working but I get another error now, these are the changes I made
to zaptel.conf

fxoks=25-27
fxsks=28
e&m=1-24
span=2,1,0,esf,b8zs

then I did
[root@localhost sbin]# ./modprobe wcte11xp
[root@localhost sbin]# ./modprobe wctdm
[root@localhost sbin]# ./ztcfg -vv

Changing signalling on channel 4 from Unused to E & M
ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 4: Invalid argument (22)
Did you forget that FXS interfaces are configured with FXO signalling
and that FXO interfaces use FXS signalling?

can you tell me the order I should modprobe to get rid of this error?

[root@localhost etc]# /sbin/lsmod | grep zaptel
zaptel 204292 3 wcfxo,wcte11xp,wctdm
crc_ccitt 2369 1 zaptel

thanks,

whoiswes · July 3, 2006, 2:54pm

the FXS/FXO error means that you have the signalling reversed.

try

fxsks=25-27
fxoks=28

instead…you might need to check your card to see what modules are on what slots.

it looks like ztcfg is parsing the files correctly now, though, so you’re past the invalid sytax issue at least.

kat · July 3, 2006, 3:17pm

I think I have the signalling right, I looked at the module and I have 3FXS ports (1-3)green ones and one FXO port 4 red one.
so then the signalling in zaptel should be
fxoks=25-27
fxsks=28

zttool shows that the tdm card is configured right,
Alarms Span │

thanks,

whoiswes · July 3, 2006, 3:20pm

you’re right then…i wonder if the ‘cached’ config is causing issues.

leave your config in place and run ztcfg again…you might also have to unload and reload everything (or just restart).

give that a shot and we’ll go from there.

kat · July 3, 2006, 3:47pm

I am trying to unload and reload the drivers
I did a
[root@localhost sbin]# ./rmmod wcte11xp
[root@localhost sbin]# ./rmmod wctdm
[root@localhost sbin]# ./modprobe wcte11xp
ZT_SPANCONFIG failed on span 2: No such device or address (6)

[root@localhost sbin]# ./modprobe wctdm

and I do a ztcfg -vv gone back to the same error !

you might need to do a rmmod zaptel as well.

so like this:

rmmod wcte11xp
rmmod wctdm
rmmod zaptel

modprobe wcte11xp
modprobe wctdm

ztcfg -vvv

would it be possible to reboot this box? that might be a good way to make sure we have everything cleared out.

at this point if I plug a normal phone to one of the fxs port should I get dial tone or not?
thanks,

whoiswes · July 3, 2006, 4:09pm

i believe you should…on our systems when i plug in, i get a dialtone.

Hey Thanks so much for your help,
I got rid of the error. I restarted the asterisk -vvvvc and I get dial tone, I think the zapata.conf is not configured right cause I see this warning
