asterisk users - Apr 2007 - AsteriskNOW generation of zapata.conf file

Subject: AsteriskNOW generation of zapata.conf file

 
I am a new user of Asterisk, and an trying to use AsteriskNOW.  The test
system is dual processor, so I am using the beta 4 version.  I am
currently trying to manually configure, as the GUI does not seem to let
me accomplish what I need.  In the book "Asterisk, the Future of
Telephony", they show the configuration of fxo/fxs card to include a
context directive.  Specifically they show:

 
Context=internal

Signalling=fxo_ks

Channel => 1

 
Context=incoming

Signalling=fxs_ks

Channel => 2

 
If I set this up in the Zapata.conf file, and then restart the server,
the context= lines seem to be removed.  
 
Can someone tell me how this process works? The Zapata.conf file has the
statement that changes should be made to the Zapata.conf.zapscan, but my
file does not reference these two channels at all.

 
Thanks for the help.  If this is the wrong list, perhaps someone will
direct me to the proper place.

/sbin/zapscan called to recreate that file on each start of the zaptel
service (and some other times) is a simple shell script. Edit it to do
nothing, or replace it with a link to /bin/true.

Now pass all of those parameters either from zapata.conf or from
users.conf (the latter is new in 1.4 and hence not documented in your
book)
