hello all,

I am trying to configure asterisk with wildcard x100p fxo card but I cannot get it work with zaptel.

I have also recompiled zaptel with #define TDM_REVH_MATCHALL enabled but no luck.

Please help me out or suggest me to solve this.

Thanks in advance

X10xP cards are very particular about the motherboard in which they’re used. You might find that the exact same card works fine in a different PC.

Thanks for the suggestion…

Finally I got it working… This is what I did…

  1. add/edit this to zaptel/kernel/wcfxo.c
    /* Hardware stuff /
    /     Reset PCI Interface chip and registers */
    outb(0x0e, wc->ioaddr + WC_CNTL);
  •    /* Reset the DAA */

  •    outb(0x00, wc->ioaddr + WC_AUXD);

  •    set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

  •    schedule_timeout(1 + HZ / 800);
  1. uncoment #define TDM_REVH_MATCHALL on kernel/zconfig.h
  2. recompile zaptel
  3. reboot
  4. rmmod wcfxo
  5. modprob wcfxo

Great news. It’d be helpful to others if you could provide more information:

  • manufacturer/model of the motherboard
  • manufacturer/provider + chipset model of the X10xP card
  • in which country is this card used (a lot of X10xP cards have a chipset that is only meant to be used on the US PSTN)
  • feedback of performance with this card, such as voice quality (echo is often an issue), capacity to detect a remote hang-up, etc.

OK… I tried this on DELL Optiplex GX270. Everything looks fine except I have few instances where this card does not detect hangups. Other that that my Asterisk box is working fine.
