[asterisk-users] dahdi-channels.conf for Digium TDM2400
Hello everyone, I have noticed thar our dahdi-channels.conf has some repeating directives, for instance for channel 2 (FXO) we have these settings: ;;; line=2 WCTDM/0/1 FXSKS signalling=fxs_ks callerid=asreceived group=0 context=from-pstn channel = 2 callerid= group= context=default As you can see, a few directives are repeated (callerid, group, context). This was generated by DAHDI tools, and since it's working I didn't want to change it. Is it safe to remove them? Thanks in advance, Alex Saavedra -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Longer Answer: The settings all apply to channels, which are defined by the channel = 2 directive. If I'm remembering correctly, the channel is set at the end of the Stanza, not at the beginning. So, your blank callerid and group would apply to your next channel directive (3?). Now, I remember reading there is a way to flip the channel definition bit (channel = XX) to the top of the stanza, but can't recall. Now, if in between two channel definitions you have repetition, it might be ok to trim things up, as long as it has the right information -- the last setting is the effective one. And the bit that starts ;;; is a comment, which is actually ignored by asterisk. Hope this helps, Gerald. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
