Zaptel is a hardware interface to the PSTN. Your X100P is a Zaptel device which connects 1 telephone line to Asterisk. A TDM400P is a Zaptel device which can connect 4 PSTN devices (telephones or phone lines) to Asterisk. A TE405P is a Zaptel device which connects up to 96 lines to Asterisk. Zaptel is a "channel technology." Zap/1 means the 1st configured Zaptel device. Zap/47 is the 47th. > At this point I don't even know what files I should be seeking help on > for editing, I think I understand that for setting up my softphones I > edit sip.conf (or the [protocol being used].conf). and extensions.conf. > (I have working extensions at this point... and have connected with > typing 8500 and did the tests with digium...) If all you're doing is hooking up a SIP (another "channel technology") phone to Asterisk to call out your phone line, you're going to modify sip.conf, zapata.conf and extensions.conf. You will also edit /etc/zapata.conf. [protocol being used].conf is pretty close. it's closer to [channel technology.conf, but even that's not exactly right, as extensions.conf is not about a channel technology, it's about the dialplan... the "glue" that ties the whole system together. > When I am in CLI, and a call comes in, CLI gives me NO feedback.

Run "asterisk -vvvgc". -v = verbose. -g = dump core if it crashes (to help people like me help you). -c = console. > P.S. /dev/dsp does not seem to exist, or is unable to be re-opened.

Unless you intend on using your sound card, don't worry about it. I have never in over two years and dozens of Asterisk systems used the "console" channel technology. -A.
