[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel.conf and multiple T1 woes

[Ben Ruset]

Hello. New to the list. We're in the process of deploying Asterisk. 
Actually, we're going live tomorrow, and I just found out that my Zaptel 
cards have been mis-configured.

I'll preface this by saying that I have looked in the wiki, read through 
the samples, and attempted to call Digium (they're closed.) So I'm 
praying that someone on the list can help me out!

I have two Digium cards. One is a TE405P quad T1 card. The other is a 
TDM40B (I believe) quad analog POTS card.

Some background:

We have two T1's. Both of them are split in half (half voice, half data. 
- Don't ask me, that's how I inherited them.) Voice traffic flows on the 
back 12 channels of the T's.

Our provider has been telling us that they are only seeing one D channel 
active. This would make sense if somehow only the first T1 in the 405P 
was activated.

Here is a sample of our zaptel.conf config as it was handed to me (I 
inherited this Asterisk project, btw). These configs are likely a train 
wreck, so if anybody could possible either generate a config that would 
work, or explain a somewhat laymens terms how I can go about making a 
good config, I'd appreciate it.

zaptel.conf:

span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs
span=2,0,0,esf,b8zs

fxoks=1-24
bchan=12-23,36-47
dchan=24,48

loadzone = us

fxsks=49-53

and zapata.conf:

context=from-pstn
signalling=pri_cpe
switchtype=national
faxdetect=incoming
usecallerid=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echotraining=400
group=0
channel=12-23,36-47

context=from-pstn
signalling=fxs_ks
faxdetect=incoming
usecallerid=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echotraining=800
