asterisk users - Apr 2004 - Dial-In/Out Modem Zap Channel Config. Adtran 750

I've been trying to get a Win 2000 RAS server working with my asterisk PBX
for quite some time, to no avail.  I've googled, I've tried loads of
configurations, I've rewired phone lines, and still I am not winning the
battle.

Here's my config.

PRI->T400P->Asterisk->T400P->Adtran 750(L36 Firmware)->RAS
Server.


I have 4 Zap channels signalled FXO_KS to the 750 with FXS_LS channels, On-Hook
messaging disabled, the rest defaults for the channels.  In zapata.conf I've
tried with both busydetect=>yes and busydetect=>no.... busycount=>6,
busycount=>10, callprogress=>yes, callprogress=>no all combinations.


The weird thing is, that if I forward the incoming call from the PRI out another
channel on the PRI into a POTS line hooked into the RAS server, the connection
is fine.  In my view, that rules out the PRI and points the blame at either how
the adtran is configured, or the how the channel itself is configured.

Can anyone with a _working_ configuration similar to this chime in with some
config info on the Zap channel and the channel bank config?

Thanks in advance.

We have 4 750's and one TSU 600 working with PC anywhere for data
communications for our support department.  We have on this system 2
T400P's.  The only thing I can say is who are you getting your timing from.
We are able to get modem calls and faxes without problems.  But this is only
using PRI from Allegenice.  We also have a LD service T1 from Sprint that is
in no way able to handle any data calls.  Our Adtrans are out of the box
without any changes to them.   This is our settings in our zapata.conf.

; Enable echo cancellation
echocancel=yes
;echocancelwhenbridged=yes
immediate=no
;adsi=yes
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
;callwaiting=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
musiconhold=default
signalling = fxo_ks

Hope this helps.

Same as mine.  Do you know off the top of your head what firwmare you're
using?  Also, what RAS card do you have on your PCAnywhere side?

I'm timing off my PRI from Verizon as well.  This is mind boggling.  All my
Fax machines are fine.  The modems connect, but drop the calls after about 1-2
minutes regardless of busydetect.

I have firmware L36.  Ras card is a Digikey 4 port board on one NT server
and others are using the normal serial ports on the servers.  The desktops
are using there modems connected to there PC's via Serial cables.  All our
modems are USR Sporters 56K we have about 20 of them.  Except for 3 USR
Courier 56K.  For our fax board we are using  BrookTrout I4P on a Windows
2000 server with ZataFax.  Everything is working off the timing from the PRI
line.

Asterisk is older on this installation.  This installation is still using .5
from CVS 12/05/03.  I belive if it works leave it along!  And it works just
fine!
