Good morning all.. I was following a discussion on this list about the TDM400P revisions. It is my understanding that the current revision that one should have is the Rev. H and not the E/F. I have not yet been able to verify the rev stamped on the board, but zaptel is reporting that I have the Rev. E/F. I just bought this card in January direct from Digium and was wondering if I got the wrong Rev. somehow?? I have been having some intermittent problems but only thought it was my setup.
Sorry for the initial no subject line. Was in a hurry when I typed this and somehow missed putting it in. Please accept my apologies....

If you look back at the archives over the last year, you'll see several people that have had problems and several more that have not had any problems at all. There does not seem to be any common ground for those that have had problems. Gut feeling (and some rather general comments) tend to suggest the issue is associated with the pci bus, and possibly something to do with the TigerJet pci controller on the card. Best guess is that it has something to do with pci bus timing issues and that probably is somewhat dependent on the exact motherboard in use. Someone posted a note a few weeks ago that essentially said, if your tdm card goes out to lunch (every week or two), dump the tdm registers, and if their all zero's (or 0xff's forget which), then the card should be replaced. The Rev H card _does_ have some additional components on it close to the TigerJet chip, and the fxo modules are now marked as x100 (which they were not marked on the originals). So, something in the design has changed. Hopefully, its an improvement. :) I won't know for another two weeks or so. Best bet is to call digium support and let them walk you through it. It only took about 30 minutes for me last week, and after I described my problem they offered to RMA it without saying anything more, and without logging into my system. Must have been pretty obvious/familiar.
Hi,
I have just bought another TDM400P card from Digium directly, purchased
last Thursday, received it today:
Span 1: WCTDM/0 "Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F Board 1"
1 WCTDM/0/0 FXOKS (In use)
2 WCTDM/0/1 FXOKS (In use)
3 WCTDM/0/2 FXSKS (In use)
4 WCTDM/0/3 FXSKS (In use)
So it seems that this is the same problem. I also find it strange that
this card also has some intermittend issues with audio quality. We here
are currently testing multiple different PBX solutions from Nortel BCM
through Avaya and cisco to asterisk. Asterisk deffinitly has potential,
though when cards have sound issues, that aint great.
I hope Digium will send some sort of firmware upgrade procedure, if even
possible.

The only firmware upgrade procedure is for you to call digium support. ------------------------> Hi, > I have just bought another TDM400P card from Digium directly, purchased > last Thursday, received it today: > > Span 1: WCTDM/0 "Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F Board 1" > 1 WCTDM/0/0 FXOKS (In use) > 2 WCTDM/0/1 FXOKS (In use) > 3 WCTDM/0/2 FXSKS (In use) > 4 WCTDM/0/3 FXSKS (In use) > > So it seems that this is the same problem.
