[resolved] 2nd TDM400 won't configure

I have two TDM400 cards in my asterisk system. the 2nd is a new card.

basics:
-Asterisk/Zaptel 1.4.0
-The first card has 4 FXO modules
-The second card has 2 FXO modules
-our phones are all SIP devices

The following is an excerpt from my zapata.conf:
[…]
context=incoming
signalling=fxsks
loadzone=us
defaultzone=us
channel => 1
channel => 2
channel => 3
channel => 4
channel => 5
channel => 6
(Note I didn’t group the channels, so I could diagnose the problem, grouping doesn’t fix the problem)

when I use zttool, I get the following output:
Alarms Span
OK Wildcard TDM400 REV I BOARD 1
UNCONFIGURED Wildcard TDM400 REV I BOARD 2

dmsg output:

The issues:

  1. why do I get “Unconfigured” alarm for Board 2
  2. If I comment out channels 5 and 6, everything works fine for asterisk.
  3. When I leave 5 and 6 in, nothing works (i.e. I get NO zap channels)

What do I need to do to configure these other two ports?

Seems like an issue with zaptel…

What’s in your zaptel.conf file?

Also try running ‘ztcfg -vv’ it will print the setup as zaptel see it.

easy answer of the week!

I don’t know why I totally forgot to configure the zaptel file for the new channels. I’ll blame it on starting the project too late in the evening…

Thanks!
