Hmmm... One full E1 span will get you channels 1-31 (even if you use
only up to channel 24, the span will register 31 channels). So the
FXS ports of the Astribank will occupy ports 32-39 and 46-53 (40-45 are
the I/O ports).

But then again, normally you just use zapconf / genzaptelconf and get a
working configuration.

So I suspect you got the channel numbers wrong there.

Basically yes, except the Zaptel channel numbers.
