| Dear All,
| 
| I am using TDM400P card for about 4 months right now with
| 4 FXO modules.
| During this 4 months of use I needed to shutdown server (power off) becuase
| the card just stopped working.
| The card did not picked up calls, on console there is nothing.
| Shutting down asterisk does not help or loding drivers again.
| The server has to be powerd off and then turned on again.
| 
| Could it be hardware (TDM400P) problem ?
| Did somebody notice the same problems ?

I was just going to ask if this has been fixed yet 

I have the exact same card, hasn't worked properly yet (with
respect to the reboot situation).

the same behaviour happens with zaptel channels configured or not

what version of the zaptel drivers are you using?

I have just installed Asterisk and Zaptel 1.0.2
So I will see if this helps.
Sometimes I even here clicking noise and I need to power off server
then everything goes back to normal. My server is Dell.

This is what I get just trying to modprobe wcfxo

/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom/misc/wcfxo.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO 
or IRQ parameters.
  You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom/misc/wcfxo.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom/misc/wcfxo.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom/misc/wcfxo.o: insmod wcfxo failed

It appears the card does not release it's IO unless it is powered down,  we are using 
a P4SPA+ board

Hi,

 | During this 4 months of use I needed to shutdown server (power off)
 | the card just stopped working.

 I have the exact same card, hasn't worked properly yet (with

 Sometimes I even here clicking noise and I need to power off server
 then everything goes back to normal. My server is Dell.

These cards have always been problematic for me.  

Make sure the cards aren't sharing interrupts. 
Always make sure you use filtered power (UPS or a good powerbar).  
You might get lucky and find that re-seating the card or changing PCI
slots helps. Failing that, try using a completely different PC.  

We've found a system from Shuttle (all intel components) that tends to
keep the card very stable - so we standardize on it when building
Asterisk boxes.

You'll probably find that stopping * and re-loading the card module
(wcfxs) will correct the issue (temporarily).  Aside from that, make
sure your customers know how to hit ctrl-alt-del on the pbx...

Don't think so - the board shouldn't be made as a general use

and a min of 3.3 V

ctrl-alt-del, reboot from the command line same thing
the card needs power off, even though the board still has power applied

I'm not arguing that it shouldn't ... just sharing my experiences.
Could be your mobo, your power-supply, etc.  I've had PCs that meet the
requirements in which the tdm400p was very unstable (daily).

 Asterisk has nothing to do with zaptel

You can't unload the wcfxs module if asterisk is running.  You'll get
Device or resource busy.

2004-10-28 Thread Cirelle Enterprises
With regard to the TDM400 hardware problem, it appears
to be related to the Freshmaker firmware. 

Poorly written software, sorry to say.

The card doesn't know how to refresh on a soft boot and appears
to require a specific bios command set .  which command set?
Your guess is probably better than mine.

Apparently, this board has a tendency to lose the key required for reboot
and takes several keys to settle down.

an lspci -v will reveal the key it is using

02:03.0 Communication controller: Individual Computers - Jens Schoenfeld Intel 537
Subsystem: Unknown device a904:0003
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 7
I/O ports at a000 [size=256]
Memory at f810 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

in this case, the a904 is the key

now in wcfxs.c on lines approximately 2127 or there abouts
this key needs to be added  like so:

static struct pci_device_id wcfxs_pci_tbl[] = {
{ 0xe159, 0x0001, 0xa159, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, (unsigned long) wcfxs },
{ 0xe159, 0x0001, 0xe159, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, (unsigned long) wcfxs },
{ 0xe159, 0x0001, 0xb100, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, (unsigned long) wcfxse },
{ 0xe159, 0x0001, 0xa9fd, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, (unsigned long) wcfxsh },
{ 0xe159, 0x0001, 0xa904, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, (unsigned long) wcfxsh },
{ 0xe159, 0x0001, 0xa900, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, (unsigned long) wcfxsh },
{ 0xe159, 0x0001, 0xa901, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, (unsigned long) wcfxsh },
{ 0 }
};

in this case this procedure needed to happen several times until 0xa904 allowed
the reboot (note the a901, a900)

recompile and see if it works for you... 

It did for me and thanks to Matt at digium for the information of which I am passing
along.

Greg
