[Asterisk-Users] Weird..bridging to Zap channel FXS instead ofbridging to PSTN FXO on outgoing group

[Lyle Giese]

You can shorten zapata.conf for one and second, I am assuming that you have
channels 1-24 defined before the group=3 declaration.  If those channels are
declared after these in zapata.conf you have problem.  A varible like the
group number once definced carries down the config file until it's changed.
And with that knowledge the portion of the zapata.conf you showed can be
shortened to:

<definations for channels 1-24 here>

context=from-pstn
signalling=fxs_ks
callerid=asrecieved
;echocancel=yes
;echocancelwhenbridged=yes
;echotraining=400
rxgain=10.0
txgain=-4.5
group=3
channel => 25-28
