[Asterisk-Users] CAPI, BRI and grouping B channels

[John Smith]

Hi All,

I have just this minute found a solution that works
for us. The problem is not with the asterisk
configuration but with the configuration of the Eicon
Card.

I use the Eicon-supplied http server on port 10005 to
configure the Eicon card. On the hardware
configuration page, set:

CAPI Call distribution  = Standard behaviour

After this change, I could have two simultaneous
channels open for calls initiated in either direction.

Notes on my setup:

hardware
========
IBM PC 500Mhz Pentium III, 64MB ram
Digium X100P PCI card
Eicon Diva Server 2.0 PCI card

software
========
RedHat 8.0
Asterisk 1.0.1
Eicon Linux driver package v 7.5
Chan_capi-0.3.5


Line
====
British Telecom ISDN2e line, configured
point-to-point, 6-digit presentation, and no ddi
numbers.


Best wishes,

John.
