asterisk users - Aug 2006 - Problem with a TDM400P

I'm setting up my first (and very simple) Asterisk PBX and running
into problems with the FXO module I have on a TDM400P - I'm trying to
connect to a standard UK, BT, POT.

The problem is that when I plug the FXO module into a functioning BT
line, it seems to make the line become engaged - ie if I try to call
it from another number I just get the engaged tone.  This happens
whether or not asterisk is running and even whether or not the zaptel
modules are loaded.

The TDM400P card seems to be ok - I get the expected line:

04:01.0 Communication controller: Tiger Jet Network Inc. Tiger3XX
Modem/ISDN interface

when I type lspci.

My FXO module is in position 1, with FXS modules in positions 2 and 3.
 The FXS modules seem to work ok with my config files (I get a dialing
tone if I connect a phone to them).

My zaptel.conf file is simply:

fxsks=1
fxoks=2,3

loadzone=uk
defaultzone=uk

and my zapata.conf is (at the moment):

[channels]
;
context=test
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
immediate=no

signalling=fxo_ks
echocancel=yes
group=1
channel=2
channel=3

signalling=fxs_ks
echocancel=yes

busydetect=yes
answeronpolarityswitch=yes
hanguponpolarityswitch=yes
callprogress=yes

group=2
channel=1

(I've tried getting rid of busydetect, answer/hanguponpolarityswitch,
and callprogress individually and all together).

Could I have a hardware fault? - if so any ideas what tests to run?
Or is there something else I need to configure.

Thanks for any help.

Hello Mark and the list,

What about if you change the order of the modules, starting with FXS first
and finishing with FXO on the TDM400P slots ?
I remember to have read something like "always start with FXS if FXS and
FXO
modules are present on the board"...

Feedback please.

Best Regards,
Francois BERGERET,
France.
