<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>List (and Armin)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My set up is as follows:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> RedHat Fedora Core #3
box</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> AVM C4 card</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Asterisk 1.2.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> chan_capi-cm-0.6.1 (with patches
from Armin)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2 x ISDN2e line (4 channels)
bonded in P2P mode - British Telecom</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have, before today, had two occasions where the
CAPI sub-system just "stopped", ie. I could not place or receive calls -
attempting to place calls resulted in Reorder at the SIP phone - calling our
switchboard number resulted in 5 seconds silence and then number
un-obtainable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Stopping and re-starting Asterisk did not fix the
problem - instead I had to power down the server and re-start it - presumably to
re-start the C4 card and its firmware?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the previous occasions I could plug my older
Panasonic KXTD816 exchange in to the ISDN2e lines and the ISDN would come up and
calls could be made/received.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Today we had a more significant
failure:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a) the console had the following printk() messages
on it:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> kcapi: msgid: 42885 ncci 0x10a01
not on queue</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> capilib_free_ncci: ncci 0x10101
not found</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> kcapi: msgid: 55642 ncci
0x10201 not on queue</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>b) enabling "capi debug" and attempting to place an
outgoing call failed with "reason 44 - channel not available"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>c) plugging in the old Panasonic exchange - the
ISDN did not work - BT announcement "<alert> Sorry there is a temportary
fault"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had to get BT to clear the fault and reboot the
asterisk system to get back on line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Advice sought...</FONT></DIV>
