Folks, this issue has been plaguing me for about 2 months now, ever since I did an upgrade of my asterisk system (new hardware and software -- updated OS and asterisk). Since that time, channel 1 on my ZAP card has been unuseable. I get a "device already in use" message (I need to restart after-hours to catch the exact error message), and asterisk won't start. This hasn't been a real big deal, as we have 3 other analog extensions available.<BR>
<BR>
I just noticed this morning a difference between 2 systems though that may be the issue, but not sure why:<BR>
<BR>
ON the asterisk system that is NOT working, `zap show channels` gives me:<BR>
<TT><B>asterisk-bvr*CLI> zap show channels</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> Chan Extension Context Language MusicOnHold</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> pseudo intern-hcst default</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> 2 intern-hcst default</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> 3 intern-hcst default</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> 4 intern-hcst default</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> 6 inbound default</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> 7 inbound default</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> 8 inbound default</B></TT><BR>
<BR>
While on the one that DOES work, I see:<BR>
<TT><B>asterisk-home*CLI> zap show channels</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> Chan Extension Context Language MusicOnHold</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> pseudo from-pstn en</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> 1 from-pstn en</B></TT><BR>
<TT><B> 4 from-internal en</B></TT><BR>
<BR>
The difference being (that I see) is that on asterisk-home, the "pseduo" channel is on a separate channel, where as on the problem system, it is (I think) sitting on channel 1. I also notice that if I unload chan_zap.so, it will say it is unregistering channel 1, which leads me to believe that SOMETHING is causing it to occupy that zap channel.<BR>
<BR>
Are there any clues here as to why this is?<BR>
