asterisk users - May 2005 - zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received

Hi, i've downloaded/compiled/installed the bristuffed asterisk
Asterisk 1.0.7-BRIstuffed-0.2.0-RC8a
and i'm using it with an hfc card. It runs on a debian 3.1 sarge machine
with kernel 2.6.11. Asterisk works well if i configure the card using
isdn4linux.

I'm having problems dialing out (not tried the input yet).

This is the output from asterisk:
-- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from 192.168.0.5, requested format = 4,

     -- Executing Dial("IAX2/11@11/1", "Zap/g1/3*******") in

     -- Hungup 'IAX2/11@11/1'


this is the message i get in the syslog (a lot of these messages):
zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 5, stat = 0xff,
card = 0).

this is the zaptel.conf:
loadzone=it
defaultzone=it
span=1,1,3,ccs,ami
bchan=1-2
dchan=3

this is the zapata.conf:
group = 1
context=default
signalling = bri_net_ptmp
channel => 1-2

this is the modules.conf:
[modules]
autoload=yes
noload => pbx_gtkconsole.so
noload => pbx_kdeconsole.so
noload => app_intercom.so
load => res_features.so
load => chan_modem.so
load => res_musiconhold.so
load => chan_alsa.so
noload => chan_oss.so
load => chan_zap.so
[global]
chan_modem.so=yes
chan_zap.so=yes

this is the output from the module insertion:
Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196

this is the ztcfg -vvv:

Are you sharing the IRQ? (check /proc/interrupts)

hi, what do you think? this is a bit too much low level for me.

Hi,

Don't know if you've sorted this or not, but....

I've only ever seen when the signalling is wrong. For example if the line is
in PTMP mode when it should be in PTP or vice-versa.

So, you're using NT mode PTMP signalling.

Is the Asterisk box plugging into an ISDN circuit provided by a telco? If it
is, then use "bri_cpe_ptmp" (for Point to MultiPoint) or
"bri_cpe" (for
Point to Point) instead of "bri_net_ptmp". If it's plugged into a
different
ISDN device and needs to be in NT mode, then try "bri_net" instead.

Have fun,

Nick.

Hi all,
 
I'm  using asterisk 1.0.6 with bristuff-0.2.0-rc7k.  I've already set up
3 boxes with the same config, but I'm facing something strange with the
fourth one :
 
In my messages log, I've got thoses lines :
 
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 4, stat
= 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 5, stat
= 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 17,
stat = 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 10,
stat = 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 3, stat
= 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 7, stat
= 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 10,
stat = 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 4, stat

kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 35,
stat = 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 10,
stat = 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 23,
stat = 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 8, stat
= 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 13,
stat = 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 11,
stat = 0xff).
kernel: zaphfc: empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received (framelen = 6, stat
= 0xff).
 
This problem causes asterisk to crash...  The only thing to do is a nice
reboot :-)
 
I read some informations about it in the list telling that's because of
a wrong signalling type...  But as, I am using the same config
everywhere, I don't believe the problem is on the box ...
 
Questions ....
 
1) The asterisk box is located in France...so could this be that the
telco (France Telecom) is powering it's lines with different signalling
(for example mutli point and point to point ?)
 
2) Does anyone ever face the same problem ?
 
3) Does someone know how to cope with this problem ?
 
Thanks for your help ...I'm really don't know what to do ....!!!
 
 
David

Help

there is a list item about this issu:

http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-November/070918.html

alternatively you can try this solution on debian:


# 4)Modules configuration for startup with zaphfc AND wcfxs on
# debian stable 3.1 sarge kernel 2.4.27-2-386

# Here a configuration to fix this issue at boottime

emacs /etc/modutils/zaptel

# match it to:

post-install zaphfc /sbin/ztcfg
#post-install tor2 /sbin/ztcfg
#post-install wcusb /sbin/ztcfg
#post-install wcfxo /sbin/ztcfg
#post-install ztdynamic /sbin/ztcfg
#post-install ztd-eth /sbin/ztcfg
#post-install wct1xxp /sbin/ztcfg
#post-install wct4xxp /sbin/ztcfg
#post-install wcte11xp /sbin/ztcfg
alias wctdm wcfxs
#post-install torisa /sbin/ztcfg
#post-install wcfxs /sbin/ztcfg

# end of file /etc/modutils/zaptel

#Update the /etc/modules.conf file with:

user@host$ update-modules

user@host$ emacs /etc/modules

# add a line like the following at end of the file 

zaphfc

# and finaly reboot for testing

user@host$ reboot

I had the same problem. could find a solution until i read to change the
way the modules where loaded (i still loaded zaphfc with modes=1
appended to it). Removing that last one did the trick for me
 
Hope this may help
