New installation - pri issue

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

hi all,

i’m a new asterisk user and i am doing research on this product. i have just finished installing the base system and i am able to route calls using extensions with sip.

now i’m trying to connect an e1 pri line to perform test calls using asterisk.

my configurations are as follows.

zapata.conf
[channels]
language=en
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echotraining=800
busydetect=yes
busycount=5
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0
context=localuser

switchtype=euroisdn
signalling=pri_cpe
group=1
channel => 1-15,17-31

zaptel.conf
span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3
bchan=1-15,17,31
dchan=16

span=2,2,1,ccs,hdb3
bchan=32-46,48-62
dchan=47

loadzone=us
defaultzone=us

this file was generated using genzaptelconf

when i run zap show status i get this result
Description Alarms IRQ bpviol CRC4
T2XXp (PCI) Card 0 Span 1 RED 0 0 0
T2XXp (PCI) Card 0 Span 2 RED 0 0 0

by the way, i’m using an rj45 cable. is that correct? or do i need another cable? thanks in advance for the replies

4 TX1
5 TX2

Hi

Well this is a new one… You have posted the configs which is great,
But you havent said what the problem is
and where you are
and what you are connected to.

With answers to these it may be possible to advise you a bit more.

Hi ian,

Sorry for the late reply. Was away for the week. The problem is, my E1 card is still showing red, and so is my status on zap, which means I’ve got no signal. I am from Malaysia, and we are running on Net-5 EuroISDN. I am connecting straight from the telco.

Since you are using a Digium card, then just contact support@digium.com. They would be happy to help you get your card properly configured.
