Unable to make calls,problem in extensions.conf - a2billing

As a part of my plan to implement calling card platform (a2billing),I had installed 2 TDM FXO 2406B cards and installed asterisk,zaptel,libpri - 1.4 versions.
where as BOARD1 will be outgoing lines 24 channels and Board 2 Incoming lines 24 channels.

Configuration details :

zapata.conf (apart from default configuration) – 1) signalling=fxs_ks,

;General Options
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes

;; FXO Modules
Group=1
signalling=fxs_ks
context=Incoming
channel=1-24

;; FXO Module II
Group=2
signalling=fxs_ks
context=outgoing
channel=25-48

zaptel.conf - except default configuration
i had added " fxs_ks=1-24"incoming , fxs_ks=25-48 (Board 2)outgoing.when i made test call at first it was re-directed to “demo-instruction” default zaptel prompt of asterisk and even it is routing to IAX server of digium.

but when i add a2billing extension as following at extensions.conf other than what ever default is there;

[a2billing]
; CallingCard application
exten => _X.,1,Answer
exten => _X.,2,Wait,2
exten => _X.,3,DeadAGI,a2billing.php
exten => _X.,4,Wait,2
exten => _X.,5,Hangup

then i had removed the ‘s’ extension configuration that is routing call default to the “demo-instruct” of asterisk,
then when i dial it says invalid extension.

Pls help me out on this how to route incomings calls to board designated for out going.

latest log on asterisk i found :

You need to read the a2biiling docs and then, if not enough, search in the a2billing forum, I’m quite sure there you’ll find the solution.

Now im able to do incoming calls,can you tell how to route the calls through TDM2406B card Board 2 as mentioned above.

A2billing says number is unavailable but where as number is active when i try from my mobile phone.

do i need to specify what channel should route out going any way i had determined 2 FXO modules 1-24 as incoming and 25-28 as out going but still call couldn’t go thru.

Pls help me out on this.

can you pls let me know how and where do i need outgoing to configure trunk with zap channel 25-48 in asterisk.

because A2BILLING uses the trunk with same name what we had created in asterisk,but some how when i tryed on GUI asterisk 1.4,it is unable to identify the analog TDM 2406B cards installed,only digital cards option displayed.

Pls let me know on this,this could resolve my entire issue.

Thanks Regards

Hi Bruni,

Thanks alot for your suggestion. I had resolved most of issues on a2billing and now even incoming call is thru but still got hang up with other problem like out going.

Pls find the below log when i dial from using a2billing platform,im getting the following errors on zap channel. it seems asterisk is not identifying the call sent from a2billing.

error log : where 9011 is prefix im firing call from a2billing.
