Asterisk Asterisk Support

I’m getting the following 2 errors when I try and place a call out the zaptel (sip calls work just fine)

[Jan 21 13:50:43] WARNING[6380]: channel.c:3281 ast_request: No channel type registered for 'Zap'
[Jan 21 13:50:43] WARNING[6380]: app_dial.c:1191 dial_exec_full: Unable to create channel of type 'Zap' (cause 66 - Channel not implemented)

I have a TE122 hooked to a PRI off a hardware PBX

Did you compile Zaptel first and then enable it when coinfiguring Asterisk in menuselect? My guess is no or something else is up as Asterisk doesnt have the zap channel loaded.

Would that be why all the zap commands aren’t in the help menu? They were there originally but during all configuration (and re-configuration :smile: ) they disappeared.

When I do a make menuselect it ends with
Install ncurses to use the menu interface!
but ncurses is installed (normal and devel).
Would it have launched menuselect at this point or is there something else I have to do? I’m running centos if it matters.

Thanks!

hmm you got me on that one.

what does “yum info ncurses-devel” output?

That is is installed… come to find out a co-worked did a yum-update and updated everything post install. So I did a fresh install and realized I had 2 context’s in zapata.conf and that caused all the zap commands to not show up (not sure why… but I tested it :smile: and removing the extra context fixed it).
