[Asterisk-Users] Analog with channel bank - Inbound works, outbound doesn't

Wed Feb 1 14:16:32 MST 2006

I appreciate all of your help.  I'm starting to think this is a setup/hardware issue with the channel bank myself.  I bought the FXO card off of EBay, so who knows what kind of shape it's in.

Does anyone else out here on the forums know how to configure a CAC Access Bank II SNMP channel bank to work with Asterisk?

Thanks,

James

I hooked up and listened on the line when the call went out, and never heard any DTMF's.  I'm sure this must be something simple, I just can't seem to figure out for the life of me what it is.  What other information can I provide to help sort this out?

I have TE411p digium card, with an ISDN line plugged into the first, a channel bank plugged into the second port, and the last two ports empty.  I have the following setup in my zaptel.conf:
