asterisk users - Jul 2008 - How to integerate 2 TDM cards on same machine.

Hi,

 

I have been using single TDM800P card. It is a small card with 4FXO and
4FXS ports. I have been using it for sometime without any problem. I am
using Asterisk 1.4.18.1. Now due to greater requirement to handle more
calls our office has bought another larger card TDM2401E which has 24
FXO ports. I have installed it on the same machine. Would like to know
following about its configuration.

 

1.	Same Zaptel Driver will be used which is catering for my TDM800P
card??
2.	My zaptel.conf has following current config: loadzone=us,
defaultzone=us, fxoks=1-4, fxsks=5-8.

What changes do I have to make to this file to accommodate 24 FXO ports
of another card.

3.	My Zapata.conf has following config: 

Signaling=fxo_ks

.................

Channel => 1-4

 

Signaling=fxs_ks

....................

Channel => 5-8

             Can you please tell me what changed to do with this file in
order to accomdate 24-FXO port card.

 

4.	Thanks for your help.

 

 

Regards

Just add in the extra channels: fxoks=9-32.  Be sure to check the
order the cards are loading with zttool.  If the 2401E is loading
first, it will actually be channels 1-24, and the 800 will be channels
25-32.

Also, test to make sure your machine is capable of this setup.  Each
of these cards will generate 1000 interrupts per second.  Most modern
motherboards should be able to handle this, but some older ones may
choke under this load.

thanks Noah,
 
zttool shows that TDM800P is loaded first and TDM2401E is loaded second. now
problem is ports are not being configured by asterisk. i have done following
changes in two files zaptel.onf and zapata.conf.
 
zaptel.conf
loadzone=us, defaultzone=us,
fxoks=1-4, fxsks=5-8, fxsks=9-32(or should this be fxoks???)
 
zapata.conf
signalling=fxoks
............
channels =>1-4
 
signalling=fxsks
............
channels => 5-8
 
signalling=fxsks
............
channels => 9-32

please see the bold lines. since FXO ports use FXS signalling so i used fxsks.
is this right or wrong. are these changes have to be made in both the files as i
have done or only in zaptel.conf
 
waiting for information
 
thanks

Almost there.  Your zaptel.conf is correct (sorry I gave you the wrong
signalling before).  In zapata.conf, your signalling lines should look
like:

signalling=fxo_ks
channels => 1-4

signalling=fxs_ks
channels => 5-32

Thanks Noah.

It is now properly running. Thanks again
