Nik, Start here: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+Zap+channels
It will give you some background info. Also, be sure to learn the difference between zaptel.conf and Zapata.conf. It took me two weeks to realize what each one does: Zaptel.conf handles the lower-level stuff like framing, coding, clocking, and line build out. Here's a sample from the wiki for a PRI setup: span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs bchan=1-23 dchan=24 Lookup the span syntax here: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Zaptel.conf+span+syntax The zaptel.conf file basically just tells your Linux box that you've got a T1 card installed and here are the settings for each span. You'll also need to learn about ztcfg, zttool and modprobe. These help you get the zaptel driver loaded and configured. Once you get this stuff handled then you'll need to work on Zapata.conf, which is what tells Asterisk how to handle the zap spans. This file has the potential to be much more complicated because there are so many possible scenarios. However, I learned a lot by taking the time to study the syntax and comments of the Zapata.conf.sample found in the /configs folder of the Asterisk source. Doing so helped me set up a PRI (23B + D) and also a CAS span to my NEC NEAX2400. I highly recommend investing the time to read the info I've pointed out and also tinkering with the hardware. It really is the best way to learn all this stuff. And keep asking questions on the list! -MC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of nik600 Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2006 12:26 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] configure TE205P on [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 2/11/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The genzaptelconf doesn't work with E1/T1 cards in my experience. > You will have to configure it by hand. > > PsulH ok, thanks, do you know where can i get the configuration to set in /etc/zaptel.conf? 1. T1 or E1 2. Line Encoding (B8ZS, AMI, HDB3) 3. T1 Framing and E1 Framing 4. Line build out 5. Clock reference how can i know this settings? _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
