Thanks for the reply.
If I change something to either zaptel.conf or zapata.conf I do the
following:
- shut down asterisk with a "stop now"
- do a "ztcfg" which I believe refreshes the zaptel modules
- restart asterisk
Should I unload the module and reload by hand?
Actually, since I set up the files as below, I have rebooted the machine
(involuntarily, we had a power failure) and the echo status I show is
from after the reboot, so it can't be a "not started from a deep enough
level" issue...
This is why I was wondering whether something strange is happening in
that some flags in the zapata.conf file just aren't getting set in the
system. Its frustrating. Does anyone have a proven zapata.conf for a
T1 setup that I can use as an example maybe? Any other way to test echo
status (like if its really compiled into the module).
Thanks,
Don

You are restarting asterisk as you make changes and not just
reloading right:)

I have appended my /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf and my /etc/ zaptel.conf
files. I am running Asterisk 1.0.7 on a P3 800 MHz system in an
office with around 20 sip phones. We are using a Digium Wildcard
TE110P that is connected to a T1 line with 8 lines enabled. We have
been experiencing irritating echo on the sip phone side when local
lines are called.
After reading a lot of echo related threads, I think I understand
the 4-wire to 2-wire cause of this echo. I have noticed that when
calling long distance and with some cell phones there is no echo,
which is consistent with a system that has echo cancellation on the
destination end.
So, I've been trying to enable software echo cancellation to see if
it will improve the situation. If you look down to see my
zapata.conf file, you will see I've tried to set echocancel and
echocancelwhenbridged, and that I've also mucked around with
echotraining. None of these appear to be doing anything.
However, I *think* this is because they are not being enabled
properly, because when I try to see the details of an active zap
channel (see zap show channel command) it says "Echo Cancellation: 0
taps unless TDM bridged, currently OFF". I'm not sure if I'm doing
this debugging right, so I wanted to ask people both :
(a) am I enabling echocancel correctly? I've heard that sometimes
these parameters can behave differently depending on the order they
appear in the file??
(b) am I doing the right thing to detect if echo cancellation is
on? Whats the righ tway to do that?
btw, I have rebuild my zaptel src with "AGGRESSIVE" cancellation
enabled, with MMX enabled and with MARK2 cancellation enabled.
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks,
Don
