[asterisk-users] Asterisk: No Longer Answering Calls

[Jeng Yu]

Hi Friends!

I need help! I'm still Asterisk rookie, so please
forgive me.

My Asterisk is no longer answering incoming call on
the phone line. I call the phone and it rings but
asterisk is not picking it up. The phone line is
attached to port 4 (FXO) on my digium TDM411P card.

I am running Asterisk 1.4.11 with zaptel-1.4.5.1 and
libpri-1.4.1 on Fedora Core 5, Linux Kernel
2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp

when I look in the asterisk messages log file I see
this interesting messages:

---------
[Oct 29 12:03:09] WARNING[2073] config.c: Unterminated
comment detected beginning on line 28
[Oct 29 12:03:09] WARNING[2073] chan_zap.c: Unable to
specify channel 4: No such device or address
[Oct 29 12:03:09] ERROR[2073] chan_zap.c: Unable to
open channel 4: No such device or address here = 0,
tmp->channel = 4, channel = 4
[Oct 29 12:03:09] ERROR[2073] chan_zap.c: Unable to
register channel '4'
[Oct 29 12:03:09] WARNING[2073] config.c: Unterminated
comment detected beginning on line 27

What's baffling about this to me is that Asterisk has
answered calls on the same channel before and executed
my test dial plan. But now, it is no longer answering
calls. Anyone knows what I'm missing here?

Also, when I call the box and it is ringing, I connect
to the CLI and tell it answer the call, it says "No
one is calling us" but the phone is ringing. The
modules are loaded fine. When I check with zAny clues?

Thanks,

Jeng

Following are my very basic test config files,
straight out of the Asterisk book:

#
#/etc/zaptel.conf
#----------------
#
# Define FXO port with FXS signaling
#

fxsks=4
loadzone=uk
defaultzone=uk

#
# -- End /etc/zaptel.conf -----------


;/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
;-------------------------
;

[trunkgroups]
; Define any trunk groups here


[channels]
; Hardware channels we use
; default

usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=no
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
echocancel=yes
echotraining=yes

; define channels
context=incoming        ; Incoming calls go to
[incoming] in extensions.conf
signalling=fxs_ks       ; Use FXS signalling for an
FXO channel
channel => 4            ; PSTN attached to port 4

;
;-- End /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf-----


;
;/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
;-----------------------------
;

[incoming]
; incoming calls from the FXO port are directed to
this context from zapata.conf

exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,2,Playback(hello-world)
exten => s,3,Background(vm-enter-num-to-call)
exten => s,4,Hangup()
;
