[asterisk-users] [URGENT] Zap channels fail to load

I have spent some time this morning trying to add an Astribank to our
current Asterisk, but it failed, so I just removed the hardware,
restore the config files to the original setup and started asterisk.;

I could see that no Zap channels are started so I did load chan_zap.so:
pbx*CLI> module load chan_zap.so
[Feb 26 10:32:18] WARNING[3809]: pbx.c:2968 ast_register_application:

[Feb 26 10:32:18] ERROR[3809]: chan_zap.c:10527 build_channels: Unable

Fair enough. I did unloaded chan_zap.so (because of the first error)
and tried again:

It looks like the problem is in the zap card's first channel:

Is there any change any Astribank related stuff can be causing this?

I have ensured that no Astribanks modules are loaded and even rebooted
the box, but no success.

[asterisk-users] [URGENT] Zap channels fail to load

Note: [Urgent] is generally not a good way to escalate the issue on a
public mailing list. We're all here for the fun of it and demanding
prompt reply may actually serve the other way.

If you have paid to get support (e.g: by buying hardware), this may be a
good time to use it.

That said, your message looks interesting. So see my reply inline :-)

You probably needed 'module unload chan_zap.so' before that. The module
was loaded, but it has bailed out before registering the CLI commands.

The symptom is expelained in the following report that I filed earlier
today (unrelated to this one)

  http://bugs.digium.com/12071

Channel 1 was left open from a failed configuration attempt

So the real error hides earlier in your logs. Look for 'chan_zap' in the
logs from the startup of Asterisk. And sadly you must restart Asterisk
to fix the error.

Is this a fractional E1, indeed?

Or is the range in zaptel.conf incorrect? I noticed in your config file
that you changed it. Was this change made after Asterisk was started?

I'm not sure how an Astribank module would have affected this one. The
Astribank spans tend to be the last ones, hence it should not have
misplaced your hardware.

If the module is loaded but no hardware is present, your system should
not be affected.

My provider names the line a PRA, but this is understood anywhere as a
PRI (no fractional).

From the Asterisk configuration point of view, is there any other
difference between the fractional and full PRI apart from the number
of channels?

Do you guys know of any particular setting our provider (Eircom,
Ireland) could require?

I have a problem with DTMF when the PRI is the one carrying the call:
"1s" and "2s" are not transmitted. If the call is internal
or carryed
by and IAX trunk + SIP it works nicely.

[asterisk-users] [URGENT] Zap channels fail to load

Well, on an E1 PRI config your D-channel is indeed assigned to channel 16,
the center channel. On a T1, your data channel is on channel 24, the last
channel.

Did you restore your zaptel config from samples or another source?
