Zaptel problem

bryant · October 24, 2007, 7:53am

I bought TDM844P
But when I finish the driver install .
I get

[color=red] [root@asterisk ~]# dmesg | grep FXO
Port 1: Installed – AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Port 2: Installed – AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Port 3: Installed – AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Port 4: Installed – AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Port 1: Installed – AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Port 2: Installed – AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Port 3: Installed – AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Port 4: Installed – AUTO FXO (FCC mode)[/color]

[color=cyan][root@asterisk ~]# dmesg | grep FXS
Port 5: FAILED FXS (FCC)
Port 6: FAILED FXS (FCC)
Port 7: FAILED FXS (FCC)
Port 8: FAILED FXS (FCC)
Port 5: FAILED FXS (FCC)
Port 6: FAILED FXS (FCC)
Port 7: FAILED FXS (FCC)
Port 8: FAILED FXS (FCC)[/color]

I think it should be 4 FXO 4 FXS. Is that right?
And I didn’t plug the power cable, because the cable is too short to plug in.
Could someone tell me what is the correct output?

What happen is this?

First of all please dont start new threads with the same issue - it just makes it harder to follow.

Second, you need to plug the card into your pc power for the fxs ports to work.

Third your zaptel.conf should look something like:

loadzone=us defaultzone=us fxks=1-4 fxoks=5-8

and your zapata.conf file should something look like:

[code]signalling=fxs_ks
language=en
context=incoming
channel=1-4

signalling=fxo_ks
language=en
context=incoming
channel=5-8[/code]

Note: you may need to adjust the language, loadzone, defualtzone and context to suit your location\configuration.

Also, as another option because you bought a Digium card you can contact them for installation support - thats the great part about buying Digium cards, they work and they come with support!

If I live in Taiwan how can I setup the loadzone and defaultzone?
Can I set it to “tw” or anything else?
Why should I setup the language and where can I set it?
Thanks for help!

Most of this is in the wiki

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+zaptel.conf

and

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+zapata.conf

I guess you could try this in zaptel.conf

loadzone=tw defaultzone=tw fxks=1-4 fxoks=5-8

and in zapata.conf you would change the line(s)

language=en

to language=tw (or whatever you want as your prompt languange)

see here for an explanation

I change

[color=red]fxks=5-8
fxoks=1-4[/color]

It can work no error message!
Could you tell me why I need to set it opposite?
Thanks!

The answer was right in the error message:

Did you forget that FXS interfaces are configured with FXO signalling
and that FXO interfaces use FXS signalling?

The files I gave you were edited from my test files and I didn’t pay attention to your output - sorry about that.

Glad you got it working.

But it still confuse me.
Why the dmesg command shows FXO is port 1 to 4
and FXS is port 5 to 8.
But in zaptel.conf we set it to fxoks=5-8
fxsks=1-4

Now how can I plug the phone line in the port???
Plug the phone side in 1-4 port or line side in 1-4 port?
