asterisk users - Apr 2010 - URGENT - How to exclude one ZAP channel for outgoin and incoming calls

Hi Guys,

Currently, I have a Sangoma A400 installed with 20 ZAP PSTN analogue lines.
The first line is giving me problems due to rain (probably coroded line). My
server using FreePBX dials out with g0 (group 0 which includes all 20 lines)
and it happens that the bad line is the very first line.

Can I simply put ; in zapata.conf like this to seclude the first zap line
from getting calls in or out?

;context=from-zaptel
;group=0
;signalling = fxs_ks
;channel => 1

context=from-zaptel
group=0
signalling = fxs_ks
channel => 2


Thanks,
Bruce

I'm not familiar with FreePBX, but I'd say that's logical.  Make the
change and then from a console type zap show channels, only 2 though 20 
should be showing.

In your zapata.conf, under group 0 do: channel => 1-3,5-20. It works for PRI
but haven't tried it for FXO.

Have you tried disabling this line in zaptel.conf? Maybe that'll help.

Thanks guys for all the input. I have just noticed that the solution doesn't
work for me because the 20 lines are in a hunt. And the line in problem is
actually the 4th line and not the 1st. So, for incoming calls, if I have
more than 3 calls the 4th one will keep ringing for ever and it won't go to
the 5th line unless there is a busy on it.

Is there anyway I can put a busy voltage on this line without ramping up a
big bill? If the line status shows busy then both of incoming and outgoing
calls will use the next line available.

I am trying to go this route for couple of days until I get the telco to
drop by or if the darn rain stops.

Thanks,
Bruce

Hello.. maybe you can just have the telco do an immediate forward of that
number to the fifth number in the hunt group until it is fixed...
