[Asterisk-Users] confusing info from Digium andasteriskdoc aboutsetup of TDM11B

[Steve Prior]

Thanks, I'm hoping the result of the grief I'm going through will be a 
well documented process  :-)

Here is exactly where I'm at:

(power up machine and log in)
my exact /etc/zaptel.conf is at: 
http://home.geekster.com/asterisk/zaptel.conf , but the most important 
part seems to be

-------------------------------------------------
fxoks=1 # FXS(green) module in slot 1
fxsks=4 # FXO (red) module in slot 4
defaultzone=us
loadzone=us
--------------------------------------------------


# modprobe zaptel
# modprobe wcfxs
displays on console:
   Freshmaker version: 71
   Freshmaker passed register test
   Module 0: Installed -- AUTO FXS/DPO
   Module 1: Not Installed
   Module 2: Not Installed
   Module 3: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode)

Zaptel Configuration

2 channels configured.



Is this completely correct so far?  It's been suggested that I might
need "modprobe wcfxo" also, but if I do that I get:

# modprobe wcfxo
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/misc/wcfxo.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/misc/wcfxo.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/misc/wcfxo.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/misc/wcfxo.o: insmod wcfxo failed

Is this a problem?

Also, at exactly what point should I get a dialtone on the analog phone
connected to the FXS (green) module?

Thanks
Steve
