[Asterisk-Users] Diva 4BRI, asterisk and capidrv support ?

[Louis-David Mitterrand]

Hello,

I acquired a Diva Server 4BRI for an AsteriskPBX system and installed a
2.4.20 kernel modified with the latest eicon capi2.0 support from
www.melware.net.

Capi support seems to work fine: Asterisk+chan_capi answers the calls.

However if I try to use my old isdnutils apps by loading a i4l
compatibility layer then I have the following problems:

- if I use the diva2i4l module and start the isdnutils (debian sid)
  subsystem: isdn4linux apps seem to work fine, I can dial-in, dial-out,
  use ippp0; only vboxgetty has a problem:

	24-Apr 18:43:21 <J> Reading modem input (3 secs timeout)...
	24-Apr 18:43:21 <D> Waiting for "OK|VCON"... Oops!
	24-Apr 18:43:21 <E> Modem returns unneeded command "ERROR".
	24-Apr 18:43:21 <D> Flushing modem (timeout)...
	24-Apr 18:43:21 <I> Initializing modem port (voice mode; 1500 ms)...
	24-Apr 18:43:23 <D> Hangup modem (drop dtr 800 ms)...

  Which is really surprising as the Diva is an expensive active card
  with fancy features, and the voice mode used to work fine with my old
  passive HFC-PCI. Anyway this is not a big problem as all voicemail
  will be transfered to asterisk. Just curious about this failure?

  The serious problem is that asterisk no longer answers calls: they are
  seen by isdn_net and isdn_tty but even if ignored are not passed to
  asterisk for further processing.

  Is there a way to have i4l attach only to one controller on the 4BRI?

- if I load the capidrv module, at first it seems to work:

	Apr 25 08:08:19 zenon kernel: capidrv-1: now up (2 B channels)
	Apr 25 08:08:19 zenon kernel: capidrv-1: not from AVM, no d-channel trace possible (Eicon Networks)
	[same message for controllers 2,3,4]

	then after a few seconds I get these errors:

	Apr 25 08:11:19 zenon kernel: capidrv-1: controller dead ??
	Apr 25 08:11:19 zenon kernel: capidrv-1: listen_change_state state=1 event=1 ??? 
	[same message for controllers 2,3,4]

  And I can't dial-in/out with /dev/ttyIx even though the modem responds
  to AT commands.

  Asterisk stops taking calls as well.


Any ideas on what's happening here?

Thanks,
