<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi there<BR>
<BR>
I have a TE110P card fitted in my linux box running :<BR>
Linux version 2.6.9-5.ELsmp (bhcompile@decompose.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:30:39 EST 2005<BR>
<BR>
I followed the installation steps on digium website...no errors reported.<BR>
The modules seem to have loaded...here's what lsmod shows:<BR>
Module Size Used by<BR>
wcte11xp 30496 31<BR>
zaptel 196740 67 wcte11xp<BR>
<BR>
still the light on my card is off....does that mean the card has not initialised properly?<BR>
<BR>
On loading Asterisk, I do not get any errors, but I do see these warnings:<BR>
Parsing '/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf': Found<BR>
Nov 1 11:57:21 WARNING[3454]: chan_zap.c:10874 setup_zap: Ignoring switchtype<BR>
Nov 1 11:57:21 WARNING[3454]: chan_zap.c:10874 setup_zap: Ignoring signalling<BR>
<BR>
on running asterisk -cvvv . I do see Aterisk Ready at the end ...then What do these warnings mean?<BR>
<BR>
Also, I DO NOT get these lines on asterisk startup:-<BR>
channel 0/1 successfully restarted on span 1<BR>
-- B-channel 0/2 successfully restarted on span 1<BR>
-- B-channel 0/3 successfully restarted on span 1<BR>
-- B-channel 0/4 successfully restarted on span 1<BR>
-- B-channel 0/5 successfully restarted on span 1<BR>
-- B-channel 0/6 successfully restarted on span 1<BR>
<BR>
does that mean my channels are not available?<BR>

<BR>
Now the problem<BR>
<BR>
I can call and talk SIP to SIP...here's what I see on asterisk CLI<BR>
<BR>
-- Executing Dial("SIP/iyer-09326480", "SIP/shweta") in new stack<BR>
-- Called shweta<BR>
-- SIP/shweta-0932b9c0 is ringing<BR>
<BR>
But when I call zap extension, here's what I get:<BR>
Executing Dial("SIP/iyer-09326480", "Zap/g1/851|20") in new stack<BR>
Nov 1 12:07:55 NOTICE[3513]: app_dial.c:1056 dial_exec_full: Unable to create channel of type 'Zap' (cause 34 - Circuit/channel congestion)<BR>
== Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/1/0)<BR>
== Auto fallthrough, channel 'SIP/iyer-09326480' status is 'CONGESTION'<BR>
<BR>
I have connected the PBX to digium card with the specified cable and done the settings in PBX specified at:<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Alcatel+4400+via+PRI">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Alcatel+4400+via+PRI</A><BR>
<BR>
What am I doing wrong?<BR>
<BR>
I'd like to mention that on the Alcatel PX rack on the PRA2 card, the NO-SIGNAL (NOS) light comes on when I shut down my linux box but it's off when I load zaptel....doesn't that mean that PBX is able to sync to my asterisk server?<BR>
<BR>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance....<BR>
<BR>
Kind Regards<BR>
Shweta<BR>
