asterisk users - Jun 2010 - Can't make calls out of Astribank - show regdump doesn't show voltage - Getting warning due to old driver

Hi Guys,

An 8 channel Astribank is connected to Trixbox 2.8 and I ran
freepbx-module-zapauto but I get the following when running these
commands and can't make calls out:

[Trixbox]# dahdi_genconf xpporder
/usr/sbin/dahdi_genconf: warning - OLD DRIVER: missing
'/sys/bus/xpds/devices/00:0:0/timing_priority'. Fall back to /proc

pbx*CLI> dahdi show channels
Chan Extension Context Language MOH Interpret Blocked State

pseudo default default In Service
1 from-pstn default In Service
2 from-pstn default In Service
3 from-pstn default In Service
4 from-pstn default In Service
5 from-pstn default In Service
6 from-pstn default In Service

7 from-pstn default In Service
8 from-pstn default In Service

pbx*CLI> dahdi show status

pbx*CLI> dahdi show regdump 1
Unable to get registers on channel 1
Unable to get stats on channel 1

[Trixbox]# dahdi_hardware -v
/usr/sbin/dahdi_hardware: warning - OLD DRIVER: missing
'/sys/bus/xpds/devices/00:0:0/timing_priority'. Fall back to /proc

LABEL=[usb:X1044207] CONNECTOR=@usb-0000:00:1d.7-4
XBUS-00/XPD-00: FXO (8) Span 1 DAHDI-SYNC


Note: This Astribank is deployed in United Arab Emirates and I am not
sure what the line type is in terms of Ground or Loop start and
wondering if that makes a difference with the Astribank and the fact
that it can't how the voltage using "show regdump"

And I am definitly not sure what that warning of OLD DRIVER is about.
Any help is appreciated.


Thanks,

Which one, exactly? Trixbox originally had rather dates DAHDI drivers. I
believe you should now be able to find much newer ones. At least in
their repos.

I believe that regdump uses some specific interface to the Digium card.
If you want a bunch of technical information you don't really
understand, look under /proc/xpp/ . I'm not going to start explaining it
beyond

IIRC they use LS (That is: no power denial is used at the end of a
call).

At the time we wrote it, we relied heavily on procfs. However procfs is
not something that can be safely used when the module is loaded or
removed. This is a fine way to get panics. Thus we gradually moved many
things from /proc to /sys .

Typically such a message would mean a combination of older dahdi-linux
(loaded) and newer dahdi-tools. Though it's a warning, and not an error.
