[Asterisk-Users] ioctl(ZT_LOADZONE) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Paul Vermette]

Well, I think I discovered even further why there is no ringback tone
available. The following message, is displayed on the console in asterisk.

ioctl(ZT_LOADZONE) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Failed to register zone 'United States / North America': No data available

Looking more into it, I found that it was related to loading tones for a
particular zone. The message is printed out when I run the Ringing
Application or when I attempt to put the 'r' option on the Dial application
in my extensions.conf.

My guess is that it is trying to load the tones for the zone but since it
fails to register them no sounds are available to be played back including
ringback tone. This could explain my situation.

I originally got the HEAD from CVS when I compiled and installed the drivers
for zaptel/zapata/libpri. I then tried the versions that where available for
download from ftp.digium.com. Neither worked.

I am using asterisk 0.7.2 with no patches applied.
I am using gcc 2.96 for compiling

  I have had some success at getting ringback tone working with the X100P
card. Unfortunately, it will not meet my requirements.

  The following provides ringback tone for an incoming caller. Please note
that the Zap channels are configured to use the inbound context.

  [inbound]
  exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/spa01-2,20)

  This works because the X100P is not going into an offhook state. So
ringback tone is being provided by the PSTN. So if you use Answer, Playback
or Background application, it requires asterisk to put the state of the line
in an off-hook state which makes sense. This is where my problem lies. Once
asterisk puts the X100P line in an offhook state, I cannot get any ringback
tone. The following simple scenarios where tried and did NOT work.

  [inbound]
  exten => s,1,Answer
  exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/spa01-2,20)

  [inbound]
  exten => s,1,Answer
  exten => s,2,Ringing
  exten => s,3,Dial(SIP/spa01-2,20)

  [inbound]
  exten => s,1,Answer
  exten => s,2,Ringing
  exten => s,3,Dial(SIP/spa01-2,20,r)

  [inbound]
  exten => s,1,Answer
  exten => s,2,Ringing
  exten => s,3,Dial(SIP/spa01-2,20,tr)

  [inbound]
  exten => s,1,Answer
  exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/spa01-2,20,r)

  [inbound]
  exten => s,1,Answer
  exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/spa01-2,20,tr)

  Again, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have been unsuccessful of yet to produce a ringback tone when trying
as an outside caller to dial an internal extension from an auto-attendant.
This is the scenario:



    1.     Outside caller dials main line that is going into an FXO card
(X100P).

    2.     Auto-attendant answers

    3.     Outside caller dials an internal extension

    4.     Internal extensions are analog phones connected to SPA-2000 using
SIP.



    In Step one, of course the caller gets a ringback tone until the
auto-attendant calls (supplied by the PSTN).



    In Step 3, the extension rings but no ringback tone is supplied to the
caller.



    Things I have tried thus far (_please read_).



    1.     Removing Answer application from auto-attendant

    2.     Adding "r" option to Dial application

    3.     Add Ringing application before dialing



    None of these options have worked.



    Please note that if I call from one internal extension to another, I get
a ringback tone. As well if I call an outside line from an internal
extension I get a ringback tone.



    I have searched the Asterisk Wiki, Asterisk Mailing List and google.



    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
