I have a "Cologne Chip Designs GmbH ISDN network controller" in my asterisk box, and an ISDN line connected up to it. I downloaded the bri-stuff 0.1.0-RC4a package from junghanns.net and used that to compile asterisk using these instructions: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20zaphfc%20install When I try to call my asterisk box, my sip phone rings twice and then the line is disconnected: -- Going to extension s|1 because of immediate=yes -- Accepting call from '21******' to 's' on channel 0/1, span 1 -- Executing Dial("Zap/1-1", "SIP/jamesdoherty") in new stack -- Called jamesdoherty -- SIP/jamesdoherty-74a8 is ringing Ri = 26098 TEI msg = 3 TEI = 7f Ri = 25324 TEI msg = 3 TEI = 7f == Primary D-Channel on span 1 down Sep 30 03:48:35 WARNING[12300]: chan_zap.c:1942 pri_find_dchan: No D-channels available! Using Primary on channel anyway 3! == Spawn extension (default, s, 1) exited non-zero on 'Zap/1-1' -- Hungup 'Zap/1-1' "Ri = 25324 TEI msg = 3 TEI = 7f" <- these are rather disturbing. I get them regularly on the asterisk console. When I try to call out from the asterisk box I get the following: -- Executing Dial("SIP/jamesdoherty-3c5f", "Zap/g1/0800225598") in new stackSep 30 03:49:20 NOTICE[21521]: app_dial.c:727 dial_exec: Unable to create channel of type 'Zap' == Everyone is busy/congested at this time -- Executing Congestion("SIP/jamesdoherty-3c5f", "") in new stack == Spawn extension (default, 0800225598, 2) exited non-zero on 'SIP/jamesdoherty-3c5f' In my /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf I have TRUNK set to "Zap/g1" (without the quotes) and an extension like the following: exten => _0800.,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}}) exten => _0800.,2,Congestion My /etc/zaptel.conf looks like this: loadzone=nz defaultzone=nz span=1,1,3,ccs,ami bchan=1-2 dchan=3 and my /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf looks like this: [channels] language=en switchtype = euroisdn signalling = bri_cpe_ptmp pridialplan=local echocancel=yes immediate=yes group = 1 context=default channel => 1-2 Our provider tells us that the ISDN BRI units are in ptmp mode.
