Aaron,

I just setup a TDM11B (one FXS module on channel 1 and one FXO on
channel 4)

Here is the /etc/zapata.conf that I used with Asterisk at Home 0.6 to get
that working:

fxoks=1
fxsks=4
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

Then, I replaced /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf with this:

[channels]
language=en
busydetect=yes
busycount=6
cidsignalling=bell
cidstart=ring
callerid=asreceived
busydetect=yes
busycount=6

; this section is for the fxs port (telephone instrument)
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no
signalling => fxo_ks
channel => 1

; this section is for the fxo port (pstn line)
context=from-pstn       ; <==== where to send incoming calls within
extensions.conf
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=yes
usecallingpres=yes
threewaycalling=yes
cancallforward=yes
callreturn=yes
echocancel=yes
echotraining=800
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no
signalling => fxs_ks
channel => 4

Now, I think that AAH, via AMP, overwrites /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf and
that maybe one ought to place all custom changes to in the
/etc/asterisk/zapata-channels.conf file. Frankly, though, this is all
supposition and my setup is currently working for me using the
/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf file.

FYI, for me the genzaptelconf command is not working to correctly set up
my TDM11B

HTH,

Tom
