[asterisk-r2] Problem with Parse zapata.conf

Tue Jan 13 08:54:09 CST 2009

Eduardo,

The section you are reading in the guide is about r2test.conf, the
configuration used by the r2test program that is included with the
library, not the configuration of Asterisk. Having said that, most
concepts apply to the Asterisk chan_zap or chan_dahdi configuration as
well, but the parsing of the file is certainly not the same, the
parsing of r2test.conf is more simplistic.

Now, regarding your question. The only limitation for Asterisk 1.2 and
1.4 is that for each comma or new channel => parameter, new internal
R2 structure is created and this is limited to something around 32.
Therefore, if you put

channel=>1,2,3,4,5 ..... up to 32 you will run out of r2 structures.

the same if you put

channel=>1
channel=>2
channel=>3
channel=>4
.
.
.
channel=>32

However, is just a waste of space, as long as you group together the
channels that can be grouped, I doubt you will ever run out of R2
internal structures. As far as the R2 support is concerned, the
following is exactly the same:

channel=>1-5,9,17-31

and

channel=>1-5
channel=>9
channel=>17-31

In both situations will create three R2 internal structures.
