Hi,
I've always used dahdi-genconf to just create the dahdi-channels.conf

understand the file though for my own reference.
It seems the file looks like this:
group=0,11
context=from-pstn
switchtype = national
signalling = pri_cpe
channel = 1-23
context = default
group = 63
So what I don't get is why group is specified with 0,11. Is that groups
0 and groups 11? And then it has a random group = 63 at the end. And I
dial with group 1 (dahdi/g1), but it seems to work? :) It's completely
confused me as to why this actually works.
'group = 63' is a work around an old (and long-ago fixed, I believe) in
chan_dahdi (or maybe chan_zap - and never made it to chan_dahdi?). You
can just write 'group = ' instead to reset the groups.
It would be even nicer to write the above as:
[dahdi-span-1]
group=0,11
context=from-pstn
switchtype = national
signalling = pri_cpe
dahdichan = 1-23
('dahdi-span-1' is an arbitrary title). This only works for Asterisk
= 1.6.0, and thus I never got to switching dahdi_genconf to use it.

The starting configuration file is chan_dahdi.conf which may subsequently include a dahdi-channels.conf file. The thing to remember with chan_dahdi.conf is all options are cumulative. Channels are created using the cumulative configuration when the channel = 1-23 line is processed. Anything after that line will not affect channels 1-23 since they are already created. Depending on where in the configuration the snippet you posted is found will determine if it even has any effect.
