Need help to make my fxo card work

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

i think my zapata.conf file has a problem as zap show channels command in asterisk doesnot give me a channel connected

please tell me what if this configuration is right or not

and what to do next to make my first call

desktop:/etc/asterisk# ztcfg -vv

Zaptel Version: 1.4.9.2
Echo Canceller: MG2
Configuration

Channel map:

Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)

1 channels to configure.

the configuration i made

zapata.conf

[trunkgroups]
; define any trunk groups
[channels]
; hardware channels
; default
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=no
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
echocancel=yes
echotraining=yes
; define channels
context=incoming ; Incoming calls go to [incoming] in extensio$
signalling=fxs_ks ; Use FXS signalling for an FXO channel
channel => 1 ; PSTN attached to port 1

zaptel.conf

fxsks=1
loadzone = us
defaultzone = us

i made a simple dialplan to test my card

extensions.conf

[incoming]
; incoming calls from the FXO port are directed to this context from zapa$
exten => s,1,Answer( )
exten => s,2,Echo( )

desktop*CLI> zap show status
Description Alarms IRQ bpviol CRC4
Wildcard X101P Board 1 OK 0 0 0

when i start the server the channel is not readed in zap show channels command

desktop*CLI> zap show channels
Chan Extension Context Language MOH Interpret
pseudo default default

desktop*CLI> zap show cadences
r1: 125,125,2000,4000
r2: 250,250,500,1000,250,250,500,4000
r3: 125,125,125,125,125,4000
r4: 1000,500,2500,5000

when i reload my asterisk this waring appear
WARNING[6417]: chan_zap.c:11244 process_zap: Ignoring switchtype

2

this may seem counter-intuitive but take context=incoming out of zapata.conf and restart asterisk.

3

what does lsmod say?

4

lsmod must be ok because the zap selections are showing up and ztcfg is working. The misfire should be in zapata.conf

5

i take out context = incoming out from zapata.conf and the i have the same problem no channel appear with zap show channel command in asterisk

and the output of lsmod
wcfxo 13728 0
zaptel 196356 3 wcfxo
crc_ccitt 3072 2 hisax,zaptel

6

maybe try to run dahdi_genconf

since they are still on an older release, zapconf would be the program to run.

   zapata - /etc/asterisk/zapata-channels.conf
       Configuration for asterisk(1). It should be included in the main /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf.  It's location may be overriden by the environment
       variable ZAPATA_FILE.

   users - /etc/asterisk/users.conf
       Configuration for asterisk(1) and AsteriskGUI.  It's location may be overriden by the environment variable USERS_FILE.
