This generates you /etc/zaptel.conf and
/etc/asterisk/zapata-channels.conf (or /etc/asterisk/zapata-auto.conf ,
in the modified versions by some distributions).

So I gather it has generated for you zapata-auto.conf but zapata.conf
#include-s zapata-channels.conf . You're confused (or someone did some
bad integration work).

This thing should be removed. It is aufully confusing and completely
outdated. I think it is slightly worse than no information at all, as
the defaults of freepbx would have worked for you if you just ran
genzaptelconf .
