TDM800P Dialout Problem

Hello All,

I am currently working on a project to replace our existing Asterisk 1.4 (using Thirdlane version 4) with a new Asterisk 1.6 system with the latest version of Thirdlane. I am setting up a lab to do some testing with.

I am running into a problem however. I have server running the Asterisk 1.6.2.13 with all the latest addons from asterisk.org, my connection to the telephone network is through a Digium TDM800P (with 8 FXO ports) and I have three phone lines plugged into it (on ports 1-3).

I am using the autogenerated system.conf in /etc/dahdi and i have editied the dahdi-channels.conf file in /etc/asterisk so the context is from-outside. All 3 POTS lines are part of group 0 (the default). I have added the following line to chan_dahdi.conf, #include dahdi-channels.conf, to include the auto generated file.

In thirdlane I have created a DAHDI trunk called g0 and configured my outbound routes to use that trunk with the 1 trunk script.

In bound calls are working fine, I call in and get the demo offices are now open or closed. It is outbound calling I am having problems with. Occationally dialing dailing out works (91areacodenumber) but more often than not i get an error stating you must dial a 1 before this number. Looking at the output on the console I see when dialing out DAHDI/g0/1areacodenumber. It seems like something is stripping off the 1 somehow. Again this is a default install, I haven't made any changes to what digits are being stripped. Local calls that only require 9number are failing completely and I am assuming it is because the first digit is being stripped.

I am assuming there is just something that I am missing but I can't find it. I would be happy to provide examples or if anyone has any documentation (I have read some of the Thirdlane Administrators guide) that would be great.

Thanks
