[asterisk-users] UK (BT) Problem with TDM 400P

[Mark Muffett]

It's an FXO module (I've got two FXS modules on the same card and they
work - I get a dialing tone from them), and the phone line works with
an ordinary phone.

dmesg gives:

Module 0: Installed -- AUTO FXS/DPO
Module 1: Installed -- AUTO FXS/DPO
Module 2: Installed -- AUTO FXO (UK mode)
Module 3: Not installed
Found a Wildcard TDM: Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F (3 modules)
Registered tone zone 4 (United Kingdom)


asterisk -c -vvv starts up with no errors or warnings and zap show
channels gives:

*CLI> zap show channels
   Chan Extension  Context         Language   MusicOnHold
 pseudo            from-pstn
      1            from-internal
      2            from-internal
      3            from-pstn

cat /proc/zaptel/* gives:

asterisk1:/home/mark # cat /proc/zaptel/*
Span 1: WCTDM/0 "Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F Board 1"

           1 WCTDM/0/0 FXOKS

           3 WCTDM/0/2 FXSKS
           4 WCTDM/0/3

My /etc/zaptel is:

asterisk1:/home/mark # cat /etc/zaptel.conf

# Zaptel Configuration File

# This file is parsed by the Zaptel Configurator, ztcfg

Any idea what more I can do before it drives me mad?

Thanks for any help
