Re: [asterisk-users] Server recommendation help

Matt,

Thanks for the input.  I have done this.   The issue is that the
onboard network controllers share IRQ with the PCI slots.  Although I
have had 0 issues until now, because I moved everything so 1 PCI slot
was independent, the box cannot support a second card and everything
else.  I am going to try a PCI network card and see if I can get it to
work. 

For the record this is a Dell 2850 and there have been 0 issues until
now.

  Me to, but beware: current DL380 G5 do not have internal molex
  power connectors for the TDM410 -- needed for FXS ports.

You might want to see if you can change the IRQ assignments in your servers 
bios (might have to turn off the "PNP OS Installed" option if you have one)

You omit some obvious details, such as the actual error message you get,
your /etc/zaptel.conf and the output of 'cat /proc/zaptel/*' .

I figure that the driver for the analog card loads before the driver for
the T1 card, hence invalidating your configuration.

Thanks for the offer to help trouble shoot but I never even got that
far.  On boot it actually makes my Ethernet ports fail.  I am thinking
of disabling the internal ports and adding in a card.  Might help but as
this box is in production I do not have the ability to do that much
testing on it. I am looking at some planned downtime next weekend to go
further with this.

Also this box is ~3 years old so I figure If I can find a box that is
not "too" expensive I can migrate this to a FTP box and get a new *
server. As added bonus I can use the reload to clean up my dial plan.

If anyone has a TE205P-5v and TDM410 running is same box I would like to
know the setup.

Richard

I hear rave reviews about Supermicro but no personal experience.

I like the HP DL380.

[asterisk-users] Server recommendation help

2008-05-20 Thread Cavanna, Richard
I am having a issues with adding a analog card to my dell 2800.  I
already have a t1 card installed and running fine but when I install the
analog card asterisk will not start (ztcfg fails).  I have determined it
is because of a IRQ problem and have decided to get a new server.  Can
anyone suggest a server grade setup that supports this?  I would rather
not buy a machine that will be unstable.  I am not opposed to building
one if need be.
  

Cards I have installed:
Digium  TE205P - 5v
TDM410

Thanks for any suggestions

Richard
