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

[Craig Waddington]

Thanks for the info, unfortunately that still doesn't work for me.

Making two outgoing using ISDN.

Contr1: 2 B channels total, 0 B channels free.
Contr2: 2 B channels total, 2 B channels free.
*CLI> capi info
Contr1: 2 B channels total, 0 B channels free.
Contr2: 2 B channels total, 2 B channels free.

If I try to dial incoming, I still get call failed on my Mobile phone.

When CAPI should push the call to the other card which has two channels
free.

What is your hunt group settings on your DIVA card?

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.
