Genzaptelconf

compile zaptel

./configure

make menuselect

make

make config

service zaptel start

genzaptelconf

that should do it. The modules have to be loaded in order for genzaptelconf to work. The initial zaptel start will load ALL the modules as defined in '/etc/sysconfig/zaptel'. You will want to go back later and comment out every driver besides the one you need.

make

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/zaptel-1.4.9.2'

You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.9-67.0.15.EL kernel installed.

make[1]: *** [modules] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/zaptel-1.4.9.2'

make: *** [all] Error 2

thats a problem with your OS and running kernel, not a problem with thirdlane, asterisk, or even zaptel.

I am agree Erik, but I used the downloaded thirdlane from ABP page

You need to install the -devel package for the kernel.

yum install kernel-devel (or kernel-PAE-devel, depending which kernel you're using).

Everything Ok, but here:

[root@thirdlane zaptel-1.4.9.2]# service zaptel start

Loading zaptel framework: FATAL: Module zaptel not found.

[FAILED]

Waiting for zap to come online...Error: missing /dev/zap!

[root@thirdlane zaptel-1.4.9.2]# genzaptelconf

I think this is useless

Thanks!!

Erick, I have a question for you.

I downloaded the thirdlane ISO PBX.

Why do I have to reinstall zaptel, kernel, etc?, I think this must be include and updated in the ISO.

I did everything you told me, but any result.

What do I have to do?

Help!!!

im not so sure genzaptelconf works with the new dahdi drivers.

Are you telling me thirdlane uses dadhi and not zaptel?

We are buying this product, so is important to me to know if is as good as others.

Please refer a sopport if you can do it.

Regards!!

you're buying the PBX manager webmin module. The .iso is a matter of convenience (or inconvenience depending on your needs). Personally I never use the .iso for a litany of reasons. I install the OS, Install webmin, compile/install dahdi/asterisk, load the webmin module etc. Whether you choose to use the .iso has no real impact on the product itself (the management module). The module works with both zaptel and dahdi drivers. If you are building everything yourself you _may_ have some choice in which driver you are using (depending on which version of asterisk you install). Asterisk 1.2.x is zaptel only. Asterisk 1.4.0 through 1.4.21 uses zaptel only, Asterisk 1.4.22+ can use zaptel or dahdi, Asterisk 1.6.x is dahdi only.

Thank you Erick, I will follow your recommendations later, but now I have a hurry.

I did this and its ok:

1.- ./install_prereq test

2.-./install_prereq install

3.- yum install gcc newt-devel libusb-devel

4.- yum install kernel kernel-devel

5.- reboot

./configure

# optional step: select custom configuration:

#make menuconfig

make

make install

# To install init scripts and config files:

#make config

#service zaptel start

#genzaptelconf

#reboot

IT'S CONFIGURE!!!

Regards!!!

Erick, why asterisk do not see the channels after compiling zaptel

thirdlane*CLI> zap show channels

remember I installed from ISO.

Thanks!!!

did you load the zaptel modules?

After compile I edit this file

/etc/sysconfig/zaptel

that has this

also run

also do you intend to treat the 2 lines as seperate trunks? or do you want to group them when dialing out?

[root@thirdlane ~]# lsmod | grep zap

crc_ccitt 2241 1 zaptel

2 WCTDM/0/1 FXSKS

3 WCTDM/0/2

4 WCTDM/0/3 FXOLS

I do not understand what's going on.

also, btw, comment out ztdummy from your /etc/sysconfig file. It is not needed, your TDM400P has a timing device in it much more accurate than the RTC used by ztdummy.

Erick forgive my insistence, but what is next step?

I did everything you told me but no results.

Thanks!!!

Are you there?

what version of asterisk are you running?

get rid of the #include statements in zapata.conf and just put these in after all the general section definitions..

I think this my problem, wctdm is sharing interrupts with libata

interrupt sharing will cause audio problems but it would still be visible to asterisk. Perform the task i suggested on the 03/19/2009 - 13:40 thread.

this is a single processor single core no hyperthreading machine? Is this the centos 4.x based OS? Load the SMP kernel even though its not an smp processor, that will get you access to the APIC which will prevent interrupt sharing.

It's visible to zapata, but asterisk do not see any channel, this a a ISO. image downloaded from thirdlane page. Your thread is 03/19/2009 - 13:40 or 03/19/2009 - 18:40? Anyway asterisk did no see the channels. Now we are trying with debian and asterisk 1.4.x

Yes, mi OS was centos 4.x in this machine:

ProLiant ML115 dual-core AMD Opteron 1000 series and single-core Athlon processors

We tried everything with not result in this hardware and the .iso.

Regards!!!

zapata.conf is not zaptel. zapata is part of the asterisk configs. Get rid of all those extra zap file crap in /etc/asterisk and just put the configuration manually into /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf like i keep suggesting. The reason asterisk isnt seeing your hardware is because its not LOADING a configuration file declaring channels and signalling.

Also if you dont want interrupt sharing you need to install the smp kernels and use those. The non smp kernels do not give you APIC support.

Sorry Erik, I did mean zaptel.

Thank you four your help. I say again I did everything with no result. Someday I have to finish with this, I understood all you told me and I appreciate.

Regards!!!
