[asterisk-users] [Zaptel] Checking that TDM card works?

[Vincent]

Hello

	Since TDM cards are known for being particular when it comes
to motherboards (PCI 2.2, etc.), I was wondering if there is a utility
that can check that the Zaptel driver works OK and can tell if the TDM
card is compatible?

That way, if an FXO module is not reporting an incoming call, we'd
know it's because of the Zaptel driver, and not something elsewhere.

Are "dmesg", "lspci -v", "ztcfg -vv" and "zttool" the only tools
available to investigate this issue?

Thank you.
==================

PS: I'm using an OpenVox clone of the Digium card, with just one FXO
module. With the FXO module installed on plug #1, here's what I tried
so far. Note that "ztcfg -vv" says "1 channels to configure.", while
Digium cards apparently say ""1 channels configured":

Here, I call into the OpenVox card from a cellphone, but nothing is
shown in the Asterisk console :-/
