25 I'm trying to follow the pdf in the link you sent me. On page 79 it
26 lists some stuff to add to /etc/zaptel.conf (I emerged zaptel):
27
28 "The zaptel.conf file located in /etc/ is used to configure your
29 hardware. The following minimal configuration defines an FXO port with
30 FXS signaling:
31
32 fxsks=2
33 loadzone=us
34 defaultzone=us
35
36 After configuring zaptel.conf, you can load the drivers for the card.
37 modprobe is used to load modules for use by the Linux kernel. For
38 example, to load the wctdm driver, you would run:
39 # modprobe wctdm
40
41 If the drivers load without any output, they have loaded successfully.*
42 You can verify that the hardware and ports were loaded and configured
43 correctly with the use of the ztcfg program:
44 # /sbin/ztcfg –vv
45 The channels that are configured and the signaling method being used
46 will be dis-
47 played. For example, a TDM400P with one FXO module has the following
48 output:
49 Zaptel Configuration
50 ======================
51 Channel map:
52 Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)
53 1 channels configured.
54 If you receive the following error, you have configured the channel for
55 the wrong sig-naling method:
56 ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 2: Invalid argument (22)
57 Did you forget that FXS interfaces are configured with FXO
58 signalling
59 and that FXO interfaces use FXS signalling?"
60
61 However, I get this:
62
63 camille ~ # /sbin/ztcfg -vv
64
65 Zaptel Configuration
66 ======================
67
68
69 Channel map:
70
71 Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)
72
73 1 channels configured.
74
75 ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 2: No such device or address (6)
76
77 I have no idea what it's talking about, or even what device or address
78 it's trying to find...
