Hello everyone! I installed Asterisk following the instructions of the book "Asterisk: The Future of Telephony". (very nice book) However, I failed. I installed zaptel, libpri and asterisk (in this order). The Installation of Zaptel is successful and my TDM400P is correctly detected: # zttool Alarms Span OK Wildcard S400P Prototype Board 1 UNCONFIGURED ZTDUMMY/1 (source: HRtimer) 1 # ztcfg -vvv Zaptel Version: 1.4.12.1 Echo Canceller: MG2 Configuration =====================Channel map: Channel 01: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01) 1 channels to configure. The Installations of libpri and asterisk-1.6.0.6 also succeeded without errors. But I don't have a zapata channel driver. *CLI> core show channeltypes Type Description Devicestate Indications Transfer ---------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -------- Agent Call Agent Proxy Channel yes yes no IAX2 Inter Asterisk eXchange Driver (Ver 2) yes yes yes Skinny Skinny Client Control Protocol (Skinny) yes yes no Console OSS Console Channel Driver no yes no SIP Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) yes yes yes MGCP Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) yes yes no USTM UNISTIM Channel Driver no yes no Local Local Proxy Channel Driver yes yes no Phone Standard Linux Telephony API Driver no yes no ---------- 9 channel drivers registered. I made sure to load the zaptel modules before compiling asterisk with "/etc/init.d/zaptel start", but chan_zap didn't even appear in menuselect. Now I am missing "/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_zap.so". I searched through the mailing list and forums. They say, that chan_zap.so is build in channels/ in my working directory. But it's not too strange, that chan_zap.so was not built, since there's not even the file chan_zap.c . Isn't it supposed to be there? I downloaded the files "asterisk-1.6-current.tar.gz" and "asterisk-1.4-current.tar.gz" but no trace of chan_zap in both. I use Debian 5.0 with 2.6.26-1-686 Kernel. I'm out of ideas, please help. What am I missing? Sorry for my bad English. Regards, Markus

(very nice book) > However, I failed.You 'failed' because you installed Asterisk 1.6.0.6, which contains a very large number of changes compared to Asterisk 1.4, which is what the Asterisk: TFOT book was written about. If you want to be able to follow the book and get the same results, you'll have to install the same major versions of the software as the book tells you to. If instead you wish to use Asterisk 1.6.0.6 (which is not a bad idea <G>), then you'll need to read (at least) the UPGRADE.txt file that explains about the important differences between Asterisk 1.4 and Asterisk 1.6, and also contains a link to the Zaptel-to-DAHDI.txt file which has documentation specifically on the subject you posted about. -- Kevin P.

Please read the Zaptel-to-DAHDI.txt file in the 1.4.23 source tree *carefully* to understand what you should see when you build this version of Asterisk. -- Kevin P.
