[Asterisk-Users] Unable to create channel of type 'Zap'

To help you out i will post my config files... The only problem that i have
is in an active call i can't get my phones to send responses to voice menus
such as dialling the voicemailmain cmd.


I am using a TDM04b card with four ports instead of one my zapata.conf file
looks like:

[trunkgroups]

[channels]

;this block is standard features of the anolog lines
musiconhold=default
rxwink=300 ; seems to use long winks
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callerid="Berkleigh Computer Systems"
Callwaiting=yes
busydetect=no
callprogress=no
usecallingpres=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
cancallforward=yes
callreturn=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
echotraining=800
rxgain=3.3 ; the gain options are volume adjustments (recieve&transmit)
txgain=3.3

group=0
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no
faxdetect=no

signalling=fxs_ks ;fxo cards use fxs signalling
callerid=asrecieved
context=default ; context in extensions.conf to use
channel=>1-4 ; we have four availlable ports on our card

and my zaptel.conf has:

fxsks=1-4
defaultzone=us
loadzone=us


the only difference should be that you should have 1 instead of 1-4 in both
zapata and zaptel. as far as the extensions.conf i had issues with trying to
work with the demo file and just wrote my own, I found it easier, what you
prefer is your choice.
