[Asterisk-Users] Can't call out on ZAP channel - need help

The parameter in zaptel.conf that sets up timing etc is:
 
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs

The first 1 means this is span 1.  The second one defines the timing of
the link.  For asterisk to provide the timing use 0 instead.  For
instance my Asterisk box, hooked directly to my Avaya G3 uses:
 
span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs

Also,
 
switchtype=qsig 
 
 
This is something I have never personally got working to any useful
amount with our Definity.  I use
 
switchtype=national 
 
It doesnt have some of the features of qsig, but will get you going if
the PBX is setup to use a standard National ISDN 2 switch.
 
You will I beleive need to shut down asterisk and then run ztcfg -vvvv
if you make these changes, then restart asterisk.
 
 
signalling=pri_net merely makes the Asterisk box act like the telco, as
far as its signaling is concerned, quite normal when hooked to a legecy
pbx.
 
Hope this helps, am no expert, just going on what I got mine running
with :)

	Yeah, the zttool program shows the PRI as having No Alarms. It
is an Infinity system by Amtelco. I haven't actually tried making a call
from the other pbx, but I did have my vendor (Amtelco) look at it and
they verified that the span was up and everything was working correctly.
The asterisk system is set to signalling=pri_net which I assumed meant
that the asterisk box would be handling the timing. 
	
	Here is the output from "pri show span 1"

		Michael,
		
		Does the zttool program show the PRI as working

		Can the PBX push calls into the Asterisk system?
		
		Also, what type of PBX is it, and is it providing the
clock etc.. For
		the T1 connection?

			I'm trying to connect to another PBX via an T-1
interface. I 
			have a T100P card.
			On the CLI I get the error "Everyone is
busy/congested at 
			this time (1:0/0/1)" When I try to dial out of
the T-1 line 
			from an SIP softphone.
			
			I have posted this question a few times here and
at the 
			asterisk forum, but can't get anyone to respond.
I've seen 
			other people on forums with the same problem but
no one has 
			ever given much of a solution. Does someone at
least know 
			what the next step in debugging this problem
would be.
			
			In the file /var/log/asterisk/full I get the
error "Unable to 
			create channel of type 'ZAP'"
			
			Here are my configs.
