asterisk users - Oct 2005 - "zap show channel 1" says "PRI signalling" on my zaphfc BRI card

I have a zaphfc compatible BRI card, and I cannot receive any phone
calls, because calls don't see to be detected by my system. I'm
running Fedora Core 4, bristuff from Junghanns.net, and this is my
zaptel.conf:

[root@131 asterisk]# more /etc/zaptel.conf
# hfc-s pci a span definition
# most of the values should be bogus because we are not really zaptel
loadzone=nl
defaultzone=nl

span=1,1,3,ccs,ami
bchan=1-2
dchan=3

This is my zapata.conf:

[root@131 asterisk]# cat zapata.conf
;
; Zapata telephony interface
;
; Configuration file

[channels]
;
; Default language
;
;language=en
;
; Default context

switchtype = euroisdn
; p2mp TE mode
signalling = bri_cpe_ptmp
; p2p TE mode
;signalling = bri_cpe
; p2mp NT mode
;signalling = bri_net_ptmp
; p2p NT mode
;signalling = bri_net

;pridialplan = dynamic
;prilocaldialplan = local
pridialplan = unknown
prilocaldialplan = unknown
nationalprefix = 0
internationalprefix = 00

echocancel=yes
echotraining = 100
echocancelwhenbridged=yes

immediate=yes
group = 1
context=isdnincoming
channel => 1-2

Here is the result of ztcfg -vv:

[root@131 asterisk]# ztcfg -vv

Zaptel Configuration
=====================
SPAN 1: CCS/ AMI Build-out: 399-533 feet (DSX-1)

Channel map:

Channel 01: Individual Clear channel (Default) (Slaves: 01)
Channel 02: Individual Clear channel (Default) (Slaves: 02)
Channel 03: D-channel (Default) (Slaves: 03)

3 channels configured.

This is the list of zap* drivers loaded:

[root@131 asterisk]# lsmod |grep zap
zaphfc                 17300  3
zaptel                231940  11 zaphfc
crc_ccitt               2241  1 zaptel

I think the problem relates to this:

[root@131 asterisk]# asterisk -r

Any ideas, anyone?

The problem is solved.

Even though /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf is located in the asterisk
directory, it seems that it is necessary to removed and reload the
kernel modules in order to make changes take effect - that wasn't
obvious to me.
