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

Tue Aug 23 23:41:28 MST 2005

I did go through the zapata.conf and zaptel.conf but
no luck after changing switchtype=euroisdn

Still having the same problem...

My zaptel.conf config: -

span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
bchan=1-15 
bchan=17-31 
dchan=16 

loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

Here is my result of my command "ztcfg -vvv" : -
