[Asterisk-bsd] Conference without Zaptel Hardware

[Frank Griffith]

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I do have zaptel conf configured however since there is no zaptel hardware in this server I am confused as to what to setup.
   
  I bought a new Grandstream 2000GPX phone and it's really slick. Don't let anyone kid you about Grandstream being a POS phone. This new 200GPX is just what someone on a budget needs and it works. I brought it here to the office and setup three of the lines to use the local * server which is the new one I just built. The other line I setup to use my * server at home. I was pleased to see that when I touched line 2 my * server at home responded and let me have full functionality with it.
   
  The problem is the with the conference rooms on the office server. When I dial them either locally or come in from the POTS using my 800 number it answers the calls and works fine but the conference rooms don't work like my home system where the operator asks for the users name and then announces each entrant in the conference room.
   
  Here is my /usr/local/etc/zaptel.conf file:
   
  ==============
  fxsks=1
loadzone=us
defaultzone=us
==============
   
  Again, I don't know what I'm doing using fxsks=1 because there is no real zap channel in this machine. But I seem to recall having this working with just ztdummy before I added the X101P card to my * home server.
   
  Here is my /usr/local/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
   
  ==================================
  [channels]
language=en
context=default
signalling=fxs_ks
channel=>1
disconnectsupervision=yes
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=yes
threewaycalling=no
transfer=yes
echocancel=yes
echotraining=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
  ==================================
   
  Without any real hardware am I just barking up the wrong tree or do I just need to tweak these files a little.
   
  One note though, the performance over this DSL line at the office is a little choppy. I don't know if I'm going to be able to make this work well enough to get the bosses to sign off on it. Comcast does not service this area. I was looking to have cable modem installed here. My connection at home is cable and it runs more than twice as fast as this DSL here.
