RE: [asterisk-users] New user question (X100P)
Hi, I had similar problems with zaptel on a tdm2400. I found that with the standard make install, zaptel was being started as a service but not properly initialising the card. I disabled the service and added a few bits in rc.local; rmmod the zaptel modules, sleep a couple of seconds, do a 'service zaptel start' to reload everything. This seems to set things up properly and asterisk can then work with the card via zaptel.

RE: [asterisk-users] New user question (X100P) (ADDENDUM)
I read all the other replies and want to thank everyone!! I think most of what other people mentioned is answered below. I'm only doing this to test Asterisk. I will be using T1 cards when I start putting Asterisk in production. I've got several Ad-tran TSU 600s and 120s that I can use for analog access when I get to that point. All my prior work was using custom software on NMS AG8s, AGT1s and AG4000s which aren't supported by Asterisk so I wanted to use the X100Ps for proof-of-concept and to get familiar with Asterisk before buying the digital interface cards.

Re: [asterisk-users] New user question (X100P)
I had a clone X100P (ordinary modem with Motorola chipsets) It works fine for me. My 2 cents: If you are just using that to learn the basics of Asterisk yes go on and continue, but for production purpose you should go with the TDM400P card from Digium. Anyway I did not encounter any problem with my X100P.

It lacks an on-card timing interface, and real X100P's haven't been made in quite awhile (several years). You may or may not get caller ID, you may or may not get two way audio. I know it's a bit more but you're better off with the TDM.

Re: [asterisk-users] New user question (X100P)
Try just one card to begin with Follow all the other suggestions regarding seeing if Linux can see the card Disable all unused ports, such as serial and parallel, and USB Don't waste your money on the TDM400 IF you want a serious analog card, go with the Sangoma A200. 5 year warranty, real support from Sangoma( Digiums answer if the TDM400 doesn't work is try another motherboard) Once you realize you can do what you want, the T1 and channel bank route is really the best way, and with careful shopping, can be affordable. JMO John Novack David Ruggles wrote: I'm trying to set up a simple test box to start developing with Asterisk. I've got a Dell GX150 with two X100P cards. I've downloaded, printed out and read through most of TFOT. I've also done a lot of Internet searching. I'm getting this error: ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 1: No such device or address (6) Based on the searching I've done, it seems like the problem must be shared IRQ issues. I've gone in the BIOS and disabled everything I can but I can't stop the sharing completely. One X100P is shared with the built-in video and the other X100P is shared with a serial controller. (I disabled both serial ports) My question is this: (in three parts) 1) Are my research and assumptions accurate? Does this seem to be an IRQ issue? 2) If I have to build another system to prevent the IRQ problem, can anyone recommend hardware (just for a simple test box right now) 3) Is it worth keeping the X100Ps or should I get a TDM400P like used in TFOT, or something else? (again just for testing) If there are other things I should check first please let me know!! TIA! Thanks, David Ruggles CCNA MCSE (NT) CNA A+ Network EngineerSafe Data, Inc.
