Error when configuring zapata.conf

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hello,

Asterisk 1.2.3
Zaptel 1.2.2
Wildcard TDM400P REV I

Port 3 is fxo
Port 4 is fxs

I’ve had this working for a couple of months now with just the fxs module installed. I’ve now added the fxo module so i’ve added the following to the end of /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf

signalling=fxo_ks
channel => 3

When I restart asterisk I get an error saying:

Ouch … error while writing audio data: : Broken pipe
Junk at the beginning 49443303

I’ve seen a couple of things on the web saying use noload chan_oss.so but I already have that in my modules.conf file.

If I comment out the line channel => 3 asterisk loads but, obvously, I don’t have my channel 3 available.

ztcfg shows

Channel 03: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 03)
Channel 04: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 04)

2 channels configured.

Any ideas what’s causing this problem?

Thanks

Glenn

Post your zaptel.conf, zapata.conf, and the output of “ls /dev/zap”

As requested, thanks for your help.

Also added zapata_additional.conf as this is where I’m configuring channel 3.
