[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel.conf and multiple T1 woes

[Ben Ruset]

I eventually was able to straighen out this mess by recompiling the 
zaptel drivers. Of course when I did that, groups broke (for some 
reason.) So I did a full reinstall and now it all works fine.

It would follow that scheme if we had full T's for voice. Someone 
decided to get two T1's and split them 50/50 with voice and data, rather 
than separate voice and data T's. Hence why I am using channels 12-23 
for voice.

I am new to the company that rolled this out. So essentially I had their 
entire Asterisk project dropped in my lap, including the wacky T1 setup.

I am sure the second T has a D channel since it is notated on our 
paperwork, and it did not sync up correctly on our previous install.

As I said, a flatten and reinstall fixed all of the problems, so I am 
not quite sure what happened. But it at least works now.
