My understanding of Dahdi is that I mostly need a group number to use with
Dial application :
Dial(DAHDI/g1/0123456789).





To get that dahdi-channels.conf file generated with dahdi_genconf, the only
missing feature (if my understanding is correct) is to be able to group
together a couple of ports so that I could either include in my diaplans,
lines such as Dial(DAHDI/g1/0123456789) or Dial(DAHDI/g2/9876543210).

So with a /etc/dahdi/genconf_parameters like this ...

[foo]
group_lines             1
pri_termtype
          SPAN/1        TE


[bar]
group_lines             2
pri_termtype
          SPAN/2        TE


... I think we've got everything needed to generate a
/etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf file this :

; Span 1: B4/0/1 "B4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 1" (MASTER) AMI/CCS
group=1,11
context=remote
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling = bri_cpe_ptmp
channel => 1-2
context = default
group = 63

; Span 2: B4/0/2 "B4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 2" AMI/CCS
group=2,12
context=remote
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling = bri_cpe_ptmp
channel => 4-5
context = default
group = 63


So I don't understand where I would have to "tell which spans / channels
will use each section". The only purpose of sections within
genconf_parameters is to set the scope of parameters like group_lines.

Am I correct to think I can't today generate
/etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf files in which 2 groups of BRI ports are
defined ?
