Hello. New to the list. We're in the process of deploying Asterisk. Actually, we're going live tomorrow, and I just found out that my Zaptel cards have been mis-configured. I'll preface this by saying that I have looked in the wiki, read through the samples, and attempted to call Digium (they're closed.) So I'm praying that someone on the list can help me out! I have two Digium cards. One is a TE405P quad T1 card. The other is a TDM40B (I believe) quad analog POTS card. Some background: We have two T1's. Both of them are split in half (half voice, half data. - Don't ask me, that's how I inherited them.) Voice traffic flows on the back 12 channels of the T's. Our provider has been telling us that they are only seeing one D channel active. This would make sense if somehow only the first T1 in the 405P was activated. Here is a sample of our zaptel.conf config as it was handed to me (I inherited this Asterisk project, btw). These configs are likely a train wreck, so if anybody could possible either generate a config that would work, or explain a somewhat laymens terms how I can go about making a good config, I'd appreciate it. zaptel.conf: span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs span=2,0,0,esf,b8zs fxoks=1-24 bchan=12-23,36-47 dchan=24,48 loadzone = us fxsks=49-53 and zapata.conf: context=from-pstn signalling=pri_cpe switchtype=national faxdetect=incoming usecallerid=yes echocancel=yes echocancelwhenbridged=no echotraining=400 group=0 channel=12-23,36-47 context=from-pstn signalling=fxs_ks faxdetect=incoming usecallerid=yes echocancel=yes echocancelwhenbridged=no echotraining=800 group=1 channel=49-53

This statement tells your card to run all 24 channels of the first T1 for voice. Also it's signaling type would not use a D channel (this statement is used when connecting to a channel bank or PBX that expects fxo).>bchan=12-23,36-47 >dchan=24,48>loadzone = us>fxsks=49-53Everything else looks good:) Hope this helps Chris.

Wouldn't the channel numbering follow more along these lines? That's assuming you said that you've got the first span up which would mean the TE405P is card 1, otherwise it could be card 2. card 1 = TE405P ==============span 1 = channels 1-24 span 2 = channels 25-48 span 3 = channels 49-72 span 4 = channels 73-96 card 2 = TDM40B ==============1st port = channel 97 2nd port = channel 98 3rd port = channel 99 4th port = channel 100 Also, what do you mean by "I inherited them" ? Where did they come from? Are you moving them from another piece of equipment? If so, are you sure the second span even has a "D" channel? Maybe it was part of an NFAS group?
