Re: [asterisk-users] Zaptel kernel module load order
mitch, not that I can answer your problem but is this ver 1.4.1? I had a similiar problem in that zapscan was updating the zaptel.conf and nothing would work until I mucked with zaptel.conf.zapscan... I might have the filename wrong as I have multiple files now :(... it has zapscan in the filename... daveC Mitch Jackson wrote: Evening, My latest asterisk box is having a difficult problem.

Re: [asterisk-users] Zaptel kernel module load order
It's generally not recommended to put an analog and digital card in the same box, however that being said Try this. Write a little hack in /etc/rc.local /sbin/modprobe wct4xxp sleep 5 /sbin/modprobe wct4xxp sleep 5 /sbin/ztcfg sleep 5 /sbin/modprobe wctdm sleep 5 /sbin/ztcfg /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk the rc.local script is loaded after all the others so it won't effect anything else, and we had some trouble with some low heat VIA motherboards so we did the modprobe twice for the PRI. Hope this helps. Cheers, Joel Hill Support Engineer Asterisk IT On Mon, 2007-04-30 at 19:14 -0500, Mitch Jackson wrote: Evening, My latest asterisk box is having a difficult problem.

I'm running FC6. The TE210P only has a single PRI. You have exactly two modules. either wctdm loads and registers its span first or wct4xxp loads first and registers its spans. There are three cases to consider: 1. system boot 2. Modules load in the zaptel init script 3. manual load It would make much sense to put the T1 card first, o it will automatically become the master, and you have indeed configured the cards so, The order in (1) is arbitrary but fixed. It is affected by the order of scanning of the PCI bus by udev or someone near-by. It may be modified by changing PCI slots and such. (2) is normally mostly meaningful on reastart: unloading and reloading of the modules. The order in the init.d script is set manually. The order is set by the value of MODULES, as set in /etc/sysconfig/zaptel . With (3) you do what you want. But this is no way for automation...
