Much thanks to those of you who are following this thread. The information has been most helpful.
Here's an update for those who are interested. I unplugged everything from every phone line, and tried it all again, and it worked! It worked for about 5 hours. Then, I started to get phantom incoming phone calls that * would answer. The console would indicate that the channel was ringing between 2 and 5 times, and then it would answer, and start going through its speil. As far I I could tell, nothing changed on my end to cause that to happen. I was the only one in the building the entire time, so it's not like someone could have plugged in a phone without me knowing about it. At this point, I gave up working on it, unplugged *, and plugged everything else back in until Monday morning. On Monday morning, I got the same behaviour, with the phantom phone calls. After much troubleshooting, I finally, changed the card out of the machine (I have two cards), made a call out with a regular phone to make sure everything was working properly, rebooted the machine, and once I verified again that there was nothing plugged into the phone line, plugged * back in. At this point, everything worked fine for as long as I was playing with it, which was about 30 minutes. That's where everything stands at the moment. The line that it was plugged into may have been a 4 wire line, so the next thing I'm going to try is to isolate that. I'm at least a little bit comforted that people don't seem to be having these types of problems all over the place. I feel like if I can get it working, then I won't have strange problems after that. Any additional comments or suggestions by people who have had any experience playing with the X100P cards would be most welcome. thanks, Shaun --- Jonathan Biggs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just to add some info to this, Hope it will help > > I had a similar problem when first testing my * > setup. > I was testing it with an active dual line phone line > (all four wires active) and for some reason the > X100P > did not like that at all. > > Easiest way is to make sure your line from the jack > is > just two wires and not a full 4 wire line. > Took me several hours to find this one. > > > > > --- Shaun Dawson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, folks, > > > > I'm having a problem where my X100P isn't > behaving > > the way I think it should. > > > > I have the hardware installed fine, with the > phone > > line connected to the port labeled 'line', and > > nothing > > in the port labeled 'phone'. > > > > The zaptel and wcfxo modules load fine, and > there > > is > > a line in /var/log/mesages indicating the card if > > found successfully. > > > > I followed directions on the Digium site, which > > resulted in the following: > > I added this line to the end of the stock > > /etc/zaptel.conf file: > > > > fxsks=1 > > > > I added these lines to the end of the stock > > /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf file: > > > > signalling=fxs_ks > > context=incoming > > channel => 1 > > > > So far so good.
