Some time ago I struggled with this as well, and found, as you did, that the file had to be moved to /etc
But at startup, have you uncommented the reference in rc.conf
It seems, through this transition period from 4.8 to .5 to .6.x that there are still some lines in rc.conf that are used, while others are ignored or over ridden. To those of us who do not sleep and drink Astlinux, this can become very confusing. In the future, would it be possible for rc.conf to either completely go away, or if it is necessary that obsolete lines be removed. Also, for those of us not using this as a router as well, simply an Asterisk machine, the references needed for a multi port Ethernet machine can result in even more confusion. I have yet to find/make time to move to 0.6.3, have mostly worked with the now considered obsolete 0.5, managed toget one machine up and running with 0.6.1 and a single port T1 card on an HP thin Client T5720, and I have to say, one agein : NICE JOB! Especially love the web interface, which seems to evolve at lightning speed.

Final comment in my ramble:
I bought an ALIX board, 1d, and am singularly unimpressed with it. Perhaps the units with dual or triple Ethernet ports for use as a router are OK, but this one has poor video, and though I was able to boot with a CF card created on a thin client, I was unable to boot with my USB stick DSL to then create a CF card. The DC adapter connection used a larger pin than any of the supplies I had, so I had to change it. The small case is well made, though this case makes the PCI slot unusable. For pure Asterisk/Astlinux purposes, any of the HP thin clients with a large flash is certainly, IMO, a better choice.

Easily confused, i am:

Hi Mart,

Finally I have a breakthrough of sorts problem description below, I had to
compare some of my other unflavoured Asterisk installations & notes here is
what I had to get it working, hope this helps someone else.

I had to run the following at root.
----------------------------------------
pbx ~ # service zaptel start
No Zap hardware - loading ztdummy
----------------------------------------
pbx ~ # modprobe zaptel

you should not have any errors or output
----------------------------------------
pbx ~ # lsmod | grep zaptel

output as follows

zaptel                196516  1 ztdummy
hdlc                    6180  1 zaptel
ppp_generic            25428  1 zaptel
-----------------------------------------
pbx ~ # modprobe ztdummy

you should not have any errors or output
-----------------------------------------
pbx ~ # lsmod | grep ztdummy

output as follows

ztdummy                 4680  0
zaptel                196516  1 ztdummy
rtc                    12336  1 ztdummy
-----------------------------------------
pbx ~ # modprobe wctdm

you should not have any errors or output
-----------------------------------------
pbx ~ # /sbin/ztcfg -vv
*****************************************
Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
line 0: Unable to open configuration file '/etc/zaptel.conf'

1 error(s) detected
************************************************************
What the above told me was that I did not have zaptel.conf (it was in
mnt/kd) in the right place, I moved zaptel.conf to (/etc/zaptel.conf)
And ran the command again.

pbx ~ # /sbin/ztcfg -vv

output as follows

Zaptel Version: 1.4.12.1
Echo Canceller: MG2
Configuration
======================


Channel map:

Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)
Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)

2 channels to configure.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Works ok till you do a reboot and then things all go pear shape again, I to
rerun he above wonder what's going on here.

Hi Cleve

I would not necessarily expect to see zaptel.conf, but in the past the
zaptata.conf has been present.

Do you see any errors during startup?
What happens if you run

ztcfg -vv

One thing which might be different is that I based my rc.conf on my
0.6.2 rc.conf, not the one which came with 0.6.3.  But I am really
clutching at straws here.

Can anyone comment on whether DAHDI has actually meant to have replaced
ZAP in 0.6.3 and the only reason it runs for me is that my rc.conf is
0.6.2 based ?

Hi Mart,

Thanks for your persistence, I have checked and rechecked the settings and
they are all the same as your except the following.

My red daughter boards are on position 1 & 2 which I have mage the changes
to reflect this.

What has got me totally stuffed is the following,

1.The mnt/kd/zaptel.conf & mnt/kd/asterisk/zapata.conf files were not
there
I had to manually create them. On a new install do I have to run a command
or something?
2.Does you analogue cards show up on the asterisk gui?

I am at a loss as to why this is not working.

Not that this affect the operation, but
callerid="PSTN Line Two" <PSTN 1>
should be
callerid="PSTN Line Two" <PSTN 2>

That will teach me to try and change the original settings to something
more intutive :-)

Hi Cleve

to be clear my hardware is a TDM400 with two FXO (Red PSTN line)
daughter boards.  These settings apply to this configuration. If yours
is greatly different then you should investigate some more. Also, I am
running in the UK so my settings have been adjusted accordingly, you may
have to make further tweaks to fine tune for your locale/country. These
should not affect your TDM setup though.


1. /mnt/kd/zaptel.conf.  Note no comment lines allowed in this file. My
FXOs are in positions 2 and 3 (1 and 4 are empty). Note fxsks is needed
for FXO cards - this is not a typo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

fxsks=2
fxsks=3
loadzone=uk
defaultzone=uk


2. /mnt/kd/asterisk/zapata.conf. I'm pretty sure the group= settings are
superfluous, but have not been removed from an earlier configuration.
Again, we _do_ mean fxs signalling for FXO cards. The channel=>2 and
channel=>3 settings relate to positions 2 and 3 on the TDM card.

The main change you need is to uncomment :

ZAPMODS="wctdm"

In order that I can address the box from a putty (SSH) session I set the
static IP address. It runs behind a domestic ADSL router/hub on
192.168.1.1. I therefore set the following:

EXTIP="192.168.1.124"
EXTNM="255.255.255.0"
EXTGW="192.168.1.1"
DNS="192.168.1.1"

I also have setup MODOPTS as follows, but I don't think this is
necessary, and in some recent versions it did not actually have any
effect anyway:

MODOPTS="wctdm:opermode=UK wctdm:debug=1"

The only other changes I made to rc.conf - which do not affect The TDM
card are :

DOMAIN=mydomain.com
HOSTNAME=mypbx
TIMEZONE=GB

Hi Martin,


Thankyou for the very prompt reply,

[When you are trying to login, which account and password are you using.
The default root password after a clean installation is "astlinux".]

The problem was that I could not access it via putty or via https://myip
nothing happen, the only way I could get it to play was to reformat the
CF
and reinstall, unmount/ oldroot/cdrom then run fdisk & genunion
/dev/hda2
and all is sweet again, I can login via putty (root/astlinux) & via
https://myip (admin/astlinux)

[As far as your TDM card goes , have you set the ZAPMODS variable in
/mnt/kd/rc.conf ? Have you setup the configuration the card for the

and /mnt/kd/asterisk/zapata.conf.]

I am a bit lost here as I have not setup anything here, could you please
give me assist me what exactly I should be doing here.

Hi All,

I finally took the plunge and installed the net5501 img onto a 1 GB CF,

When I try to run create UnionFS I with the following method.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

This could confuse AstLinux when it boots.

I hope you know what you are doing...

This method gets it all working ok but my TDM card with 2xFXO are not

Appreciate your help
