Zap problems with 1.4.4/1.4.2.1

Hi everyone,

I am having major problems with zap channels & I can’t figure out why! When I start asterisk I have no dial tone and can’t call zap devices. I have specifically configured 1.4.4 --with-zaptel

Here is my configuration

[root@asterisk rob]# cat /proc/zaptel/*
Span 1: WCTDM/0 “Wildcard TDM400P REV I Board 1”

       1 WCTDM/0/0 
       2 WCTDM/0/1 FXOKS (In use) 
       3 WCTDM/0/2 FXOKS 
       4 WCTDM/0/3 

Span 2: WCFXO/0 “Wildcard X100P Board 1” RED

       5 WCFXO/0/0 FXSKS (In use) 

[root@asterisk rob]# cat /proc/zaptel/*
Span 1: WCTDM/0 “Wildcard TDM400P REV I Board 1”

       1 WCTDM/0/0 
       2 WCTDM/0/1 FXOKS (In use) 
       3 WCTDM/0/2 FXOKS 
       4 WCTDM/0/3 

Span 2: WCFXO/0 “Wildcard X100P Board 1” RED

       5 WCFXO/0/0 FXSKS (In use)

Anyone have any ideas?

First of all, determine if Asterisk is compiled with zaptel.

See what’s the output.

As I mentioned in my post I did compile it --with-zaptel

module load chan_zap gives me:

asterisk*CLI> module load chan_zap

Sorry did not notice --with-zaptel.

This is bad. What’s the output of ztconfig -vv? Should use zttool to try to resolve the RED alert. Is the line on? Connected to the right socket?

The line is red because the line is not connected. I’m really just worried about the fxs ports now, not the fxo.

[root@asterisk rob]# /sbin/ztcfg -vv

Zaptel Version: 1.4.2.1
Echo Canceller: MG2
Configuration

Channel map:

Channel 02: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)
Channel 03: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 03)
Channel 05: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 05)

3 channels configured.

Any suggestions?

I must be doing something obviously wrong, no ? Someone must know…!!!
