Howdy - just got meself a cheapy Cologne chip card to play with in the hopes
that it will prevail where a ?1000 Eicon Diva Server failed...
I'm trying to run in NT mode and appear as a trunk to a PBX (it's an
Inter-Tel
Axxess unit).
If I hook a specific port on the BRI board of the PBX directly to a BT ISDN2e
wallbox and dial 95000, I get a dialtone and can complete calls. Any time I
connect to the Diva Server or the zaphfc card, the handset tells me 'TEST
ISDN2 IS UNPLUGGED'...
I installed asterisk on a completely virgin box using the install.sh contained
in the bristuff 0.2.0-RC7k tarball.

zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 40, stat = 0xff).

zaphfc: card 0 RX [ 0xfc 0xff 0x3 0xf 0x5a 0x1f 0x1 0xff ] 8 bytes
I'm told that the RX bytes are the PBX requesting a TEI from the provider
(i.e. the * box) but I can't understand why no reply is being given.
This is precisely the same problem I had with the Eicon Diva Server card...
Is this likely to be as simple as needing the 100 ohm resistors, or can it be
fixed with software?
Cheers
Gavin.

If you your board into an ISDN wall socket and it works then you are acting as a terminal so you are in terminal mode. Now, how are you connecting to the PBX? If you are connecting to an ISDN extension on the PBX, then still you have to match the kind of connection, whether it is point-2-point or point-2-multipoint. Then it should work. If you are connecting it to an external line on the PBX, then it will have to be in station mode and also you have to work out p2p or p2mp and also have an ISDN crossover cable (not an ethernet crossover cable). So a lot for you to work out. I have successfully got a zpahfc card working on an extension of our PBX and also a PRI card working on an external PRI line of the PBX, so it should work for you in the end.
