Hi, I've just added an X101P FXO card to my asterisk machine. The card is detected ok but zttool always shows it in a RED alarm state, which I understand means that it doesn't detect the line. I've connected the card via the line socket to my analogue line using the cable that came with the card (and have also tried other cables too) but I always get a RED alarm. I'm located in the UK, running FreeBSD-5.2, with zaptel-0.5 drivers and asterisk-0.9.0_1 (both built from ports). My zaptel.conf: fxsks=1 loadzone=uk defaultzone=uk My zapata.conf [channels] signalling=fxs_ks context=default channel => 1 Output of ztcfg -vv: Keyword: [fxsks], Value: [1] Keyword: [loadzone], Value: [uk] Keyword: [defaultzone], Value: [uk] Zaptel Configuration ===================== Channel map: Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01) 1 channels configured. Asterisk sees the zap channel (or at least it shows up with 'zap show channels') but always sees it as busy, presumably because of the red alarm. The other thing of note is that when the zaptel driver is loaded, attempting to play MOH causes the entire system to lock up and require a reboot. (Without the driver loaded it works, but is of course choppy because of the lack of a timing source). Anyone have any ideas about what's going on? Richard.
You may need the 3-wire (UK) to 2-wire (US) adapters for the jack the X100P is plugged into. I've heard you can get them most anywhere.

Scrap the "ports" and build from the latest CVS source. 0.9 is far to old and buggy, and suspect the same of the Zaptel driver you have, although I don't use *BSD myself. Secondly, the red alarm does tend to mean that the line is not connected, but I got what you're describing when I moved Asterisk to a new machine. Try the X100P card in a different PCI slot. That cleared it for me, for whatever reason. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ kevin@cursor.biz _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/
Also, OpenBSD is more secure... my 5c Alex. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Richard Airlie Sent: Wednesday, 14 July 2004 9:29 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] X101P FXO with RED alarm On Mon, Jul 12, 2004 at 06:29:43PM +0100, Kevin Walsh wrote:> I don't really understand why people struggle with *BSD when > everything "just works" on GNU/Linux.

For me, I'm already using FreeBSD for other tasks, and would like to use it for telephony as well. best, Richard. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
