Folks, this issue has been plaguing me for about 2 months now, ever since I did an upgrade of my asterisk system (new hardware and software -- updated OS and asterisk). Since that time, channel 1 on my ZAP card has been unuseable. I get a "device already in use" message (I need to restart after-hours to catch the exact error message), and asterisk won't start. This hasn't been a real big deal, as we have 3 other analog extensions available. I just noticed this morning a difference between 2 systems though that may be the issue, but not sure why: ON the asterisk system that is NOT working, `zap show channels` gives me: asterisk-bvr*CLI> zap show channels Chan Extension Context Language MusicOnHold pseudo intern-hcst default 2 intern-hcst default 3 intern-hcst default 4 intern-hcst default 6 inbound default 7 inbound default 8 inbound default While on the one that DOES work, I see: asterisk-home*CLI> zap show channels Chan Extension Context Language MusicOnHold pseudo from-pstn en 1 from-pstn en 4 from-internal en The difference being (that I see) is that on asterisk-home, the "pseduo" channel is on a separate channel, where as on the problem system, it is (I think) sitting on channel 1. I also notice that if I unload chan_zap.so, it will say it is unregistering channel 1, which leads me to believe that SOMETHING is causing it to occupy that zap channel. Are there any clues here as to why this is? ________________________________________________________________________ Barry D.
