asterisk users - Sep 2003 - configuring TE410P for four E1 PRI lines

hi,
    I'm trying to configure my newly acquired TE410P card to work as 4 
E1 spans. This is
supposed to be a drop-in replacement to the earlier E100P card. However, 
on loading the
zaptel module it gets configured as T1 spans basically doing a 'cat' on 
/proc/zaptel/1 thru 4,
 it shows 24 channels per span. After this ztcfg fails saying 
'ZT_CHANCONFIG failed for channel 97'.
This is obviously because Quad T1 has only 96 channels. The question is 
how do i get the zaptel module
to recognize the card as Quad E1 and not Quad T1.
My current /etc/zaptel.conf goes as follows:

-----------------------

span=1,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
span=2,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
span=3,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
span=4,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4

bchan=1-15,17-31
dchan=16
bchan=32-46,48-62
dchan=47
bchan=63-77,79-93
dchan=78
bchan=94-108,110-124
dchan=109

loadzone = us
defaultzone = us

----------EOF-------

Thanks,
Rahul

There's jumpers on the board that are clearly marked.

Jumper on = E1
Jumper Off = T1

Hope this helps..

You have to change the jumpers on the card. There are four in the middle 
of the card. Your zaptel.conf looks good, by the way.

You need to set the jumpers on the card.
