[Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk-Users Digest, Vol 12, Issue 103

Interesting story. I was following up any wild goose chase i could to find
a resolution including cleaning dust out of the machine. At 4 pm I plugged
the line in and called for the sake of luck, and it was back to working.

In the mean time, thanks for the troubleshooting advice. I will keep this
in my log book so I have the steps for next time something goes awry.

from an

all I hear is a horrible static. The system works fine when only 1 card is
present.

what I have
done?

We'll need at least some technical data to even guess at what's wrong.

Copy and paste output from
'ztcfg -vv'
'lsmod'
'dmesg' (looking for lines like Module 0: and TDM400P Rev H
entries from /etc/zaptel.conf (remove all the commented lines please)
entries from /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf (only those that pertain to [channels]
which o/s distro are you using
which asterisk (stable or head) and version
output from 'zap show channels'
output from 'zap show status'
CLI output for an inbound call where you here the noise

Give us a hint as to which zap channel you're calling in on.
