Zaptel: What does "1 channels to configure" mean?

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I’m trying to upgrade from a 1.2 version of Zaptel/Asterisk to a 1.4 version. I’m using a new PC with the exact same modem board, and I’ve copied the files “/etc/zaptel.conf” and “/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf” from the old system to the new one.

When I run the Linux command “/sbin/ztcfg -vv” on my (working) old system, it gives me the nice message “1 channels configured.”, just as the examples I see in the Zaptel documentation. When I run the same command “/sbin/ztcfg -vv” on the new system, it gives me the same Channel mapping as the old system, but it gives me a message “1 channels to configure.”

Existing system ztcfg output

[code]# /sbin/ztcfg -vv

Zaptel Configuration

Channel map:

Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)

1 channels configured.
[/code]

New system ztcfg output

[code]# /sbin/ztcfg -vv

Zaptel Version: 1.4.8
Echo Canceller: MG2
Configuration

Channel map:

Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)

1 channels to configure.
[/code]

What exactly does it mean to have 1 channels to configure? I can’t seem to find any documentation anywhere?

thanks

I asked the same question: The answer I got is that the string changed as a hing that zaptel.conf is only the first step, and more needs to be done in zapata.conf to get it working.

The driver is loaded just the same.

IMHO, a gratuitous change.

I saw the same thing and wasted about an hour trying to figure it out. Kind of a dumb string change.
