Xorcom Astribank 24 and Sangoma A104dx - I AM GOING INSANE!

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Can anybody help?

The sangoma card is working flawlessly, and the wanpipe drivers run before Zaptel.

My client asked me to set them up with 8 FXS and 16 FXO ports. After reading the reviews, I bought a Xorcom Astribank.

I can see in /proc/xpp/ there are 3 spans getting detected, which makes sense…

But when I configure them in zaptel.conf like so:

[size=75]#Sangoma A104 port 1 [slot:4 bus:8 span: 1]
span=1,0,0,d4,ami
e&m=1-24

#Sangoma A104 port 2 [slot:4 bus:8 span: 2]
span=2,0,0,d4,ami
e&m=25-48

#Sangoma A104 port 3 [slot:4 bus:8 span: 3]
span=3,0,0,d4,ami
e&m=49-72

#Sangoma A104 port 4 [slot:4 bus:8 span: 4]
span=4,0,0,d4,ami
e&m=73-96

#Xorcom Astribank - 8 FXS + 5 Data Ports span 5
fxoks=97-110

#Xorcom Astribank - 8 FXO span 6
fxsks=111-118

#Xorcom Astribank - 8 FXO span 7
fxsks=119-126
[/size]
[size=100]

Zttool’s output shows the Sangoma spans appropriately, and Xorcom’s 1st and second span. The third span (7) doesn’t show up at all.

ztcfg -d shows this:

[size=75]
Line 4: loadzone=us
Line 5: defaultzone=us
Line 8: span=1,0,0,d4,ami
Line 9: e&m=1-24
Line 12: span=2,0,0,d4,ami
Line 13: e&m=25-48
Line 16: span=3,0,0,d4,ami
Line 17: e&m=49-72
Line 20: span=4,0,0,d4,ami
Line 21: e&m=73-96
Line 23: fxoks=97-110
Line 24: fxsks=111-118
Line 25: fxsks=119-126

ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 119: Invalid argument (22)
Did you forget that FXS interfaces are configured with FXO signalling
and that FXO interfaces use FXS signalling?

No, I didn’t forget…the span isn’t registering! I’d try re-compiling zaptel but I’m concerned that sangoma’s wanrouter/wanpipe drivers are going to have to get recompiled and that this will bring me back to square 1.

I tried Xorcom’s live CD in a system without the Sangoma hardware and the cd detected and registered the Astribank spans properly.

I’ve been fighting with this for days now…any suggestions would be appreciated.

What is the output of:

zaptel_hardware

Thanks for helping with this! Here’s the output:

usb:006/002 e4e4:1152 [xpp_usb] (usb-0000:00:1d.7-5)
XBUS-00/XPD-00: FXS Span 5 XPP-SYNC
XBUS-00/XPD-10: FXO Span 6
XBUS-00/XPD-20: FXO Unregistered

The sangoma card does not appear there . What is its vendor ID / product ID is missing from Zaptel/Hardware/PCI.pm . What are the vendor/product ID of your Sangoma card?

Anyway, it appears that only the first two spans are registered, and not the third one.
It probably means that ‘zt_registration on’ was not run after ‘cat /proc/xpp/XBUS-*/waitfor_xpds’

What zaptel init.d script do you use?

recursively unload a module and its dependencies, if possible.

where’s modprobe -r when you need it?

inputs: module to unload.

    rmmod $module || true
    set -e

}

sleep a while until the xpp modules fully register

Any suggestions on the init.d script?
