 Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 1:06 pm Post subject: [asterisk-users] [Zaptel] Checking that TDM card works? |
 |
|
Hello
Since TDM cards are known for being particular when it comes
to motherboards (PCI 2.2, etc.), I was wondering if there is a utility
that can check that the Zaptel driver works OK and can tell if the TDM
card is compatible?
That way, if an FXO module is not reporting an incoming call, we'd
know it's because of the Zaptel driver, and not something elsewhere.
Are "dmesg", "lspci -v", "ztcfg -vv" and "zttool" the only tools
available to investigate this issue?
Thank you.
==================
PS: I'm using an OpenVox clone of the Digium card, with just one FXO
module. With the FXO module installed on plug #1, here's what I tried
so far. Note that "ztcfg -vv" says "1 channels to configure.", while
Digium cards apparently say ""1 channels configured":

This change is simply due to different versions of Zaptel. Zaptel >=
1.4.6 prints "to configure" because this message is printed (and has
always been prinetd) before the configuration is actually applied. And
hence fooled poor users into believing that their channels were properly
configured.

In the Asterisk CLI run:
core set verbose 3
And then see what happens when a call comes in.
Basically you miss an action to do after the Verbose line.
Alternatively, what is the output of:
cat /proc/zaptel/*
asterisk -rx 'zap show channels'

I always find that looking at the files that are generated
under /proc/zaptel is very enlightening as far as showing what the
zaptel drivers are seeing.

Good to know

But I wasn't getting _anything_ in the CLI. Since I was stuck, I
recompiled Zaptel and Asterisk... and lo-and-behold! I have no idea
why it solved the issue, though.
BTW, is there an order when loading modules for a TDM card? The
OpenVox seems to need zaptel, wctdm, and wcfxo, so I just run this:
# modprobe zaptel
# modprobe wctdm
# modprobe wcfxo
# lsmod
Thanks for the tips on "cat /proc/zaptel/*" and ""asterisk -rx 'zap
show channels'". I'll add them to the list of tools to investigate. |

wcfxo is not needed.
Basically all you need is:
modprobe <your_card_s_driver>
This also pulls all of its dependencies (e.g: zaptel)
modprobe wctdm

Thanks, but on AstLinux, the modules are not unloaded:
=======
pbx admin # /etc/init.d/zaptel stop
pbx admin # lsmod
Module Size Used by
wctdm 31552 1
wcfxo 11424 0
zaptel 188604 6 wctdm,wcfxo
hdlc 22528 1 zaptel
syncppp 15300 1 hdlc
ppp_generic 28692 1 zaptel
=======
Why would an init script not remove modules? |

That depends on how the script in astlinux works.
What does it do?

Vincent,
Come on over to the astlinux mailing list (on our sourceforge page). It
will be easier to handle any Astlinux specific questions over there.
But look in your /etc/rc.conf file for the ZAPMODS variable. You should
have that variable set to:
ZAPMODS="wctdm"
Beyond that, as long as Asterisk is not running, issuing service zaptel
stop should remove all zaptel related modules.

Yes indeed:
#ZAPMODS="wctdm"
Should I add this module here, or in rc.modules?
Are we positive that wcfxo is not needed in addition to wctdm and
zaptel?

Uncomment that if you expect it to work. The module should be listed in
ZAPMODS not in rc.modules.

Since you have ZAPMODS commented out, the zaptel init script doesn't
know which modules it should be using. I can assure you that this
script does work properly if you have the configuration set correctly.
Vincent, all of this is really Astlinux specific and would be better
handled on that list instead.
