Well, strange enough, the server used to have a single-span PRI card, booted
with kernel 2.6.23 and autoloaded the appropriate zaptel 1.4.12.1 module
(wcte12xp).
Now I replaced the single-span card with the dual-span TE205 and rebooted.
The kernel does not autoload the new zaptel module which should be wct4xxp.
So I try to load it manually (modprobe -a wct4xxp) and lsmod lists it but
there's nothing in /proc/zaptel/.
I suppose the 1205 identifier is correct for the TE205 card, as seen after
issuing lspci:
05:01.0 Communication controller: Digium, Inc. Unknown device 1205 (rev 02)
Subsystem: Unknown device 0005:0000
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5
Memory at feaefc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
I left my zaptel.conf and zapata.conf files untouched as, theoretically, they
should work just fine, at least for the first PRI port on the card (everything
else is identical).
So zaptel.conf has something like this:
span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
bchan=1-15
dchan=16
bchan=17-31
and zapata.conf:
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling = pri_cpe
group = 1
channel => 1-15
channel => 17-31
However, if I run ztcfg I get this message:
ZT_SPANCONFIG failed on span 1: No such device or address (6)
The fact that there's nothing in /proc/zaptel/ makes me think that the zaptel
kernel module isn't working.
Is the 1205 card compatible with zaptel 1.4.12.1? (I can't migrate to DAHDI on
this system - at least not yet)
Thanks,
Vieri
