[Asterisk-Users] Nasty little incident ...

[Steve Hanselman]

I doubt they do, if they are marked as being there, but happen to be down then the numbers would stay the same.
Sounds more likely that something happened with the clock source.
 
You'd need to reproduce it out of hours and look at the output of pri show span x and cat /proc/zaptel/*

I'm sure there are others on this list that can add to this, but
when the card drivers are loaded and ztfg run, the channels that
are discovered have to be mapped to what's in zaptel.conf one way or
another. (Moving card driver load around changes the discovered
order and one must manually modify zaptel.conf to match.)

Then each zap channel is defined in zapata.conf, and those definitions
have to match the channel numbers resulting from the above zaptel.conf
stuff.

So, what happens when two E1s disappear? Do the avaiable channel
numbers change at the zaptel.conf level? My best guess is they do,
but I don't have E1s around to play with to prove it. So, that's
my best guess and it certainly can be an incorrect guess on my
part.
