Tzafrir, You are correct! I didn't have to commented out the unused FXO ports. So to revise my earlier email, I have to do the following:
1) Run genzaptelconf 2) Run "cat /proc/zaptel/*" to find the channel my line is connected to. 3) Add my channel to /etc/asterisk/zapata-channels.conf ie. channel => 1 I'm not sure why I have to do this manually. My zapata-channels.conf file is blank and doesn't work until I put the "channel => X" to it. 4) Of course, reboot the server. --- On Thu, 10/30/08, Tzafrir Cohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Tzafrir Cohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] CHANUNAVAIL with a TDM800 card > To: [email protected] > Date: Thursday, October 30, 2008, 11:20 AM > On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 11:03:03AM -0700, hin lee wrote: > > I got this working.
