asterisk users - Nov 2007 - Connection astrisk to a RAS (portmaster)

Here's my planed setup :

PRI from telco <--> (port 1 of A104d) * (port 2 of A104d) <--> PM3

The PM3, for those who don't know is lucent's portmaster RAS dial-up
router.

I had setup asterisk, zaptel, libpri, wanpipe (as I have sangoma's cards).

In wancfg, I have port 1 as TDM_VOICE, with hardware echo on, span 1. Port 2 
is TDM_VOICE, without hw echo, Clock as master, reference 0 (for the time 
being, I'm still not hooked up with my pri, will be 1 in the future), span 
2. I alswo had to enable High Impedance on port 2 to operate without alarms.

Zaptel.conf:
------------
loadzone=us
defaultzone=us
#Sangoma A104 port 1 [slot:12 bus:0 span: 1]
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=1-23
dchan=24
#Sangoma A104 port 2 [slot:12 bus:0 span: 2]
span=2,0,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=25-47
dchan=48

zapata.conf (part of) :
------------
;Sangoma A104 port 1 [slot:12 bus:0 span: 1]
switchtype=national
pridialplan=unknown
context=demo
group=1
signalling=pri_cpe
channel => 1-23

;Sangoma A104 port 2 [slot:12 bus:0 span: 2]
switchtype=national
pridialplan=unknown
context=demo
group=2
signalling=pri_net
channel => 25-47



Now, after start wanpipe and asterisk, my PM3 shows that the line is up (via 
a t1 cross-over cable). I see that the channels are idle and waiting.

On * console, I get :

Primary D-Channel on span 2 up

All the time

I also get sometime :

  == Primary D-Channel on span 2 down
[Oct 31 20:50:53] WARNING[10250]: chan_zap.c:2393 pri_find_dchan: No 
D-channels available!  Using Primary channel 48 as D-channel anyway!
  == Primary D-Channel on span 2 up
[Oct 31 20:51:05] ERROR[10250]: chan_zap.c:8178 zt_pri_error: !! Got reject 
for frame 1, but we only have others!


In my extensions.conf, I have :

exten => 1234567,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN})

Whem I trie that extension via a softphone, I hear hald a ring, and nothing 
else. The d-channel up continue to appear on the console.

Any help would be appriciated.

I don't claim to be an expert on the Wanpipe drivers, but it's been my
experience that if your D-channels bounce up and down like that every
few seconds, that the Wanpipe drivers didn't successfully patch Zaptel,
or you haven't restarted Zaptel since the Wanpipe drivers patched
Zaptel.

Hopefully that's enough to get you up and running.
