asterisk users - Nov 2009 - Questions about Dahdi's /etc/dahdi/genconf_parameters

Hello,

1. How can specify in /etc/dahdi/genconf_parameters file that a port from a
B410P board is to be "disabled".
Playing with comments (see bellow) doesn't help : file
/etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf is filled with 4 ports data.

pri_termtype
        SPAN/1          TE
        SPAN/2          TE
        SPAN/3          TE
#       SPAN/4          TE

2. How can specify groups in /etc/dahdi/genconf_parameters ?
I would like to group SPAN/1 and SPAN/2 into group 1 and SPAN/3 into group
2.
I was unsuccessful with :

group_lines             1
pri_termtype
        SPAN/1          TE
        SPAN/2          TE
group_lines             2
pri_termtype
        SPAN/3          TE

3. After a dahdi_genconf commande, generated
/etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf is like this :
; Span 1: B4/0/1 "B4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 1" (MASTER) AMI/CCS
group=5,11
context=remote
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling = bri_cpe_ptmp
channel => 1-2
context = default
group = 63

I can see 2 "group=" and "context=" lines. What is the
difference between
them ?
Shall I care to have them both ?

Regards

There's currently no way to do that.

It should be trivial to implment. The more difficult part of it would be
how to define exactly what spans / channels to disable.

But why do you need that?

Currently pri_termtype is the only directive in dahdi_genconf that uses
this "list" syntax. I'm not very happy with it.

I'm not exactly sure if there should be some sort of generic way of
adding per-span (span? channel? how do you define a span?) definitions.
Think of ssh_config.

The second ones are not really needed. Unless you want to assume less of
the configuration below.

TODO: implement a [section] syntax there to care even less about such
inclusion.
