Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hi,

When startin * it tells me:

[chan_zap.so] => (Zapata Telephony w/PRI)
== Parsing ‘/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf’: Found

When I try to use a channel it says:

Executing Dial(“SIP/4001-d927”, “Zap/2/0652456343}”) in new stack
Sep 3 17:23:02 NOTICE[1117264816]: app_dial.c:727 dial_exec: Unable to create channel of type ‘Zap’

My relevant extension is:
exten => _97.,1,Dial(Zap/2/${EXTEN:2}})

and my zapata.conf is:

[channels]
switchtype = euroisdn

; p2mp TE mode
signalling = bri_cpe_ptmp

; p2p TE mode
;signalling = bri_cpe
; p2mp NT mode
;signalling = bri_net_ptmp
; p2p NT mode
signalling = bri_net

pridialplan = national
prilocaldialplan = local
nationalprefix = 0
internationalprefix = 00

echocancel=yes
echotraining = 100
echocancelwhenbridged=yes

immediate=yes
group = 1
context=incoming
channel => 1-2

can anyone give me a hint how th debug the rest?
(off course a clean cut solution would be nice too :smile: )

What exactly are you installing can you explain in brief?

Hi,

I am, strying to get Asterisk to work with my Eicon Diva BRI ISDN PCI card using the zapfhc drivers. the driver recognizes te card and I am already beyond the
’no channel avail’ phase. Now it goes wrong during the SETUP phase of the ISDN connection (so tells ’ bri debug span 1’ me).

Someone already suggested using the mISDN drivers. WShat do y think?

I think you’re trouble isn’t with the drivers at all…

Check your extn definition:

exten => _97.,1,Dial(Zap/2/${EXTEN:2}})

Should be:

exten => _97.,1,Dial(Zap/2/${EXTEN:2}) <—notice the missing second }

I installed other drivers (zapfhc) and now I get the following info. Why does it fail?

Hello,

I am a bit confused why you are using the ZAP drivers with the Eicon Diva Server BRI card. I would recommend using the Diva Server 4 Linux drivers (available from the eicon web site www.eicon.com) and then use the chan_capi interface.

This is what I have found the best results with.

Thanks

It is not an Eicon Diva server card.
