[Asterisk-Users] beginner questions

[Amir Aziz]

Dear List Members,
   
  I am trying to setup a small asterisk box. My configure is pretty basic for now. my zaptel.conf is as follows 
   
      fxoks=1
    fxsks=2
    loadzone=us
    defaultzone=us
   
  when I run # /sbin/ztcfg -vv I get

  Zaptel Configuration
    ======================


    Channel map:

    Channel 01: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)
    Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)

    2 channels configured.
   
  my zapata.conf is as follows
   
  [trunkgroups]
; define any trunk groups

[channels]
; hardware channels
; default
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=no
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
echocancel=yes
echotraining=yes
immediate=no

; define channels
context=internal        ; Uses the [internal] context in extensions.conf
signalling=fxo_ks       ; Use FXO signalling for an FXS channel 
channel => 1            ; Telephone attached to port 1

context=incoming        ; Incoming calls go to [incoming] in extensions.conf
signalling=fxs_ks       ; Use FXS signalling for an FXO channel
channel => 2            ; PSTN attached to port 2
   
  I have also configured two soft phones (xten). I can dial from one softphone to the other and vice versa. I am using SIP. I am using O'Reilly Asterisk: The Future of Telephony. Now to the questions I hope I have provided enough information I am using the latest release of Redhat Linux and Asterisk. I have got 1 FXS and 3 FXO channels.
   
  1.  I do not get any kind of tone in my analogie phone connected to the FXS port.
  2. when I run ZTTOOL I see the card but are there any other tools that give more information I do not see any activity going on.
  3. when I turn on computer all the lights at the back of digium card are green and are list even though no wire is inserted. Is that normal?
  4. when I insert analogue phone line from telco in FXO port what am I suppose to look at in the zttool. I do not see any kind of activity so far.
  5. Are there any open source graphical tools that I can also instal to configure, monitor and troubleshoot asterisk.
  6. What other books/links can be helpful in learning this interesting software.
   
  I thank you all for you help in advance.
   
  Regards,
  Amir Aziz
