[Asterisk-Users] Unable to create channel of type 'Zap'

I've just installed an X100P, built the kernel module, and tried to use it 
to make an outgoing call (via a phone connected to an ATA-186). However, I 
just get a reorder tone and see this on the console:

    -- Executing Dial("SIP/ata1-4409", "Zap/1/5551212") in
new stack
NOTICE[1200825920]: File app_dial.c, Line 481 (dial_exec): Unable to 
create channel of type 'Zap'
  == Everyone is busy at this time
    -- Executing Congestion("SIP/ata1-4409", "") in new
stack

My zapata.conf file is unchanged from the default, which seemed to be 
appropriate for the X100P in this usage.

It's not clear to me why in particular it is unable to create the channel. 
Is it a hardware problem? Software? Lunar phase?

   [root@kotter]# lsmod | grep wcfxo
   wcfxo                   8352   0  (unused)
   zaptel                178880   2  [wcfxo]

Is this what I should see?

[Asterisk-Users] Unable to create channel of type 'Zap'

/etc/zapata.conf
fxsks=1
loadzone=us
defaultzone=us

now reload your wcfxo module

When you run zttool, what do you see?

If your telephone line form the PSTN is plugged in it should read OK not RED

Please respond with the line from your extensions.conf to see if you are
dialing out of your Zap device properly

For example:
If you're dialing 9 to get out it would look something like this ( in this
instance I have used my zaptel for outbound calls as group 1)

/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf  (should look something like this)

[channels]
group=1
stripmsd=0
signalling=fxs_ks
channel => 1

/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf (should look something like this)

[outbound]
exten => _9NXXXXXX,1,Dial,Zap/g1/${EXTEN:1}

Hope this helps

Hi list,

I have the follow configuration:
==============extension.conf:
==============[pstn]

exten => _0XXXXXXXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:1})

[default]
exten => 120,1,Dial(IAX/eduardo@10.0.11.103)
include => pstn


But, when I dial from my gnophone something like 097991269, asterisk console
returns the fallow message:

NOTICE[245775]: File app_dial.c, Line 481 (dial_exec): Unable to create channel

Could anyone help me?

[Asterisk-Users] Unable to create channel of type 'Zap'

I've looked around so hard for days now for a solution to my problem. 
I'm new to asterisk but I've managed to get an IAX coinnection working
to voiptalk.org, ive got sip to sipgate.  But I just can't get my X100P
clone working.

I'm running Redhat 9
It's got IRQ 5 all to itself
ztcfg likes it :Zaptel Configuration
=====================

Channel map:

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

1 channels configured.

zapata.conf is as described in many howto's:

  callwaitingcallerid=yes
  threewaycalling=yes
  transfer=yes
  cancallforward=yes
  callreturn=yes
  echocancel=yes
  echocancelwhenbridged=yes
  ;relaxdtmf=yes
  rxgain=0.0
  txgain=0.0
  group=1
  callgroup=1
  pickupgroup=1-4
  immediate=no
  busydetect=yes
  busycount=7

; PSTN Home Line Context
  context=telewest-incoming
  signalling=fxs_ks
  callerid=asreceived
  channel=1


Extensions.conf has the following :


[telewest-incoming]
exten => s,1,Wait,2
exten => s,2(Dial,SIP/grandstream1,20,tr)
exten => s,3,Hangup

[telewest]
exten => _6X.,1,Dial,Zap/1/${EXTEN:1}

When dialing the speaking clok in the UK (123) with the prefix of 6 I get this
on the * console:

-- Executing Dial("SIP/grandstream1-75e0", "Zap/1/123") in
new stack

Any Help would be verg greatfully received.

[Asterisk-Users] Unable to create channel of type 'Zap'

Hi friends

 I recently bought an X100P card and fixed it to my
PC.
I connected one port to an analog phone and the
other(the port which is supposed to be connected to
the telephone network) is left unconnected to anyone.
When tried to make a call from asterisk command prompt
to the phone I am getting the following error.


 -- Executing Dial("ALSA/default", "Zap/1|20") in new
stack
Jan 15 18:28:45 NOTICE[1152795712]: app_dial.c:714
dial_exec: Unable to create channel of type 'Zap'
  == Everyone is busy/congested at this time


When I typed zttool the card X100P is not listed.
Instead X101P is listed. Why I am getting this with an
X100p card.(I dont have X101P card)



I have the following in my configuration files.

zaptel.conf

fxsls=1
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us


zapatal.conf

[channels]

;
channel => 1

extensions.conf

[default]

exten => 5454,1,Dial(Zap/1,20)


 Some more information
--------------------------


1.   From the linux command line, I typed lspci and
got some message like "Tiger Jet"

2. the device is assigned an unique IRQ by the
proecessor.

3. wcfxo and zaptel are loaded properly.

4. chan_zap.so is loaded well when asterisk program is
executed.


Please help me.
I am trying with this for the last few days.
But I couldn't get any solution.
Please help me.

Thanks in advance


Regards
Venkat

After you do modprobe wcfxo

Are you running ztcfg -vvvv ?

- Brent



Yes I did ztcfg -vvvv also.
And I got the following output

[Asterisk-Users] Unable to create channel of type 'Zap'

Hi,

I just installed the asterisk and the X100P card.  I can receive calls from 
PSTN and it can ring on a Grandstream SIP Phone.  From the SIP Phone I can 
dial the demo extension on asterisk pbx.  The issue is as soon as I try to 
dial out 92714756 or another number I received the following message:

*CLI>     -- Executing Dial("SIP/1001-2b93",
"Zap/g2/2714756") in new stack
Apr 20 02:27:40 NOTICE[245776]: app_dial.c:536 dial_exec: Unable to create 
channel of type 'Zap'
  == Everyone is busy at this time
    -- Executing Congestion("SIP/1001-2b93", "") in new
stack
  == Spawn extension (from-sip, 92714756, 2) exited non-zero on 
'SIP/1001-2b93'

Zapata.conf is:

[channels]
callwaiting=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
cancallforward=yes

echocancel=yes

; If static is set to no, or omitted, then the pbx_config will rewrite ;

patterns, some characters have special meanings:
;
;   X - any digit from 0-9
;   Z - any digit from 1-9
;   N - any digit from 2-9
;   [1235-9] - any digit in the brackets (in this example, 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9)
;   . - wildcard, matches anything remaining (e.g. _9011. matches
;       anything starting with 9011 excluding 9011 itself)
;
; For example the extension _NXXXXXX would match normal 7 digit dialings, ; 
while _1NXXNXXXXXX would represent an area code plus phone number ; 
preceeded by a one.
;
; Contexts contain several lines, one for each step of each ; extension, 
which can take one of two forms as listed below, ; with the first form being 
preferred.  One may include another ; context in the current one as well,

[Asterisk-Users] Unable to create channel of type 'Zap'

Hi,

I just installed the asterisk and the X100P card.  I can receive calls from 
PSTN and it can ring on a Grandstream SIP Phone.  From the SIP Phone I can 
dial the demo extension on asterisk pbx.  The issue is as soon as I try to 
dial out 92714756 or another number I received the following message:

*CLI>     -- Executing Dial("SIP/1001-2b93",
"Zap/g2/2714756") in new stack
Apr 20 02:27:40 NOTICE[245776]: app_dial.c:536 dial_exec: Unable to create 
channel of type 'Zap'
  == Everyone is busy at this time
    -- Executing Congestion("SIP/1001-2b93", "") in new
stack
  == Spawn extension (from-sip, 92714756, 2) exited non-zero on 
'SIP/1001-2b93'

Zapata.conf is:

[channels]
callwaiting=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
cancallforward=yes

echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no

rxgain=0.0

signalling=fxs_ks

extensions.conf
;
; Static extension configuration file, used by ; the pbx_config module. This 
is where you configure all your ; inbound and outbound calls in Asterisk.
;

;
; The "General" category is for certain variables.
;
[general]
;
; If static is set to no, or omitted, then the pbx_config will rewrite ; 
this file when extensions are modified.  Remember that all comments ; made 
in the file will be lost when that happens.
;
; XXX Not yet implemented XXX
;
static=yes
;
; if static=yes and writeprotect=no, you can save dialplan by ; CLI command 
'save dialplan' too ; writeprotect=no

; You can include other config files, use the #include command (without the
';')
; Note that this is different from the "include" command that includes
contexts within ; other contexts. The #include command works in all asterisk 
configuration files.
;#include "filename.conf"

; The "Globals" category contains global variables that can be
referenced ;
in the dialplan with ${VARIABLE} or ${ENV(VARIABLE)} for Environmental 
variable ; ${${VARIABLE}} or ${text${VARIABLE}} or any hybrid ; [globals]
CONSOLE=Console/dsp                             ; Console interface for demo
;CONSOLE=Zap/1
;CONSOLE=Phone/phone0
IAXINFO=guest                                   ; IAXtel username/password
;IAXINFO=myuser:mypass
TRUNK=Zap/g2                                    ; Trunk interface
TRUNKMSD=1                                      ; MSD digits to strip
(usually 1 or 0)
;TRUNK=IAX2/user:pass@provider
;
; Any category other than "General" and "Globals" represent
; extension
contexts, which are collections of extensions.
;
; Extension names may be numbers, letters, or combinations ; thereof. If an 
extension name is prefixed by a '_'
; character, it is interpreted as a pattern rather than a ; literal.  In 
patterns, some characters have special meanings:
;
;   X - any digit from 0-9
;   Z - any digit from 1-9
;   N - any digit from 2-9
;   [1235-9] - any digit in the brackets (in this example, 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9)
;   . - wildcard, matches anything remaining (e.g. _9011. matches
;       anything starting with 9011 excluding 9011 itself)
;
; For example the extension _NXXXXXX would match normal 7 digit dialings, ; 
while _1NXXNXXXXXX would represent an area code plus phone number ; 
preceeded by a one.
;
; Contexts contain several lines, one for each step of each ; extension, 
which can take one of two forms as listed below, ; with the first form being 
preferred.  One may include another ; context in the current one as well, 
optionally with a ; date and time.  Included contexts are included in the 
order ; they are listed.
;
;[context]
;exten => someexten,priority,application(arg1,arg2,...)
;exten => someexten,priority,application,arg1|arg2...
;
; Timing list for includes is
;
;   <time range>|<days of week>|<days of month>|<months>
;
;include => daytime|9:00-17:00|mon-fri|*|* ; ; ignorepat can be used to 
instruct drivers to not cancel dialtone upon ; receipt of a particular 
pattern.  The most commonly used example is ; of course '9' like this:
;
;ignorepat => 9
; so that dialtone remains even after dialing a 9.

Which side of the span is actually providing the clock?  The Asterisk side
or the other side (telco?)  If it is the telco the clock needs to be set to
'0'.

Span=1,0,0,cas,hdb3

[Asterisk-Users] Unable to create channel of type 'Zap'

I installed Asterisk 1.0 CVS on a Debian Sarge System. I am using two
ISDN-HFC-Cards and a point-to-point ISDN Connection.

Everything seemed to work pefectly. But today I realized that I cannot
use two lines at the same time. I get the error message:

create channel of type 'Zap'

I restarted Asterisk and it worked for 1 or 2 times. After that I had
the same problem.

Any hints, where I can start searching? Is there any possiblity to
force the channel to "hangup" or something like that?
