You should #include dahdi-channels.conf inside of dahdi_genconf. You can use #include's in all Asterisk config files. Various asterisk distributions break out conf files into multiple files using includes for compartmentalization and ease of user customization. > * If I'm getting power to my analog phones, but no dial tone, which > file should I be editing? You should be editing whichever file contains the options you need to edit. You shouldn't have duplicated settings between the two files - if you do, you should resolve that. > > * Likewise (and almost certainly related) if dahdi_cfg shows the > channels, but "dahdi show channels" only shows my T1 spans, which > file > should I be editing? You should make sure the missing channels are configured appropriately in either chan_dahdi.conf or dahdi-channels.conf files. > Could someone point me to some sample analog configs?

Re: [asterisk-users] dahdi-channels.conf vs. chan_dahdi.conf
hi, chan_dahdi is some kind of "generic" config file, and dahdi-channels the config file where you configure your channels... so to say hardware specific. dahdi-channels.conf is normally a generated file which in turn is included by chan-dahdi... it makes sense to me to divide dahdi channel config in two files... but as one of them is included by the other you could merge them by hand... but remember you have then to edit it yourself if your hardware configuration changes (e.g. after adding a new card, as it was in your case...) so if your analog card requires drivers, install them or look in you /etc/dahdi/modules if you disabled the loading of the module for your newly added card. after this run dahdi_genconf and all should be set up atomagically... regards, yves Am 28.03.2013 14:44, schrieb Ken D'Ambrosio: Hey, all.
