Can't get Astribank 8fxs/8fxo to work on 1.3-2

[packetfish]

I am having a terrible time getting my Xorcom Astribank 8fxs/8fxo to work under 1.3-2. I get no dialtone but it seems like it sees my unit and its ports/channels properly under zaptel

I am sure it it probably something in the contexts and possibly signaling but I do not know what to do to fix it. Note I have tried using voip-info.org information (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Xorcom+Astribank) to get it to work since just setting up zaptel trunks/extensions and a route didn't wouldn't work as is.

Can someone help? Here are my current files.

Thank you!

Got dialtone on the FXS ports by setting echotraining=no and I can dial an FXS extension or from it and go out over my VOIP trunk. I can not however dial 9 and get it to go out the first FXO port. I get all circuits busy.

What am I missing? I assume something in either the context or outbound route?

Your assistance is appreciated. Here is my extensions.conf and the relevant snippet.

Thanks!

[phones-zap]
; 1001 will dial to channel 1, 1020, to zaptel channel 20, etc.

; This assumes that all FXO ports are in group 0 and all others are not,

When trying to go out an FXO it just rings and rings when I dial a number that should auto answer with an answering machine. I am having NO luck with this unit. What do you have to do to get an FXO port to work properly on Xorcom??? Also, the stupid groups for Zaptel seem to be really flakey and NOT work reliably...half the time its moving/confusing what's in g0. If I need to repost files, please let me know which ones. I need to get this working by Monday.

Please help!

 

[jedaustin]

For it to work you have to have
1) the astribank working properly: from the commandline as root do
ztcfg -vv
asterisk -rx 'zap show channels'
If you don't see 8FXO/FXS correctly identified as such (keep in mind that the signaling is opposite!)
It may need different signaling in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
For example..
on an 8 port FXO:
signalling=fxs_ks
on an 8 port FXS:
signalling=fxo_ls
If you don't have a your ports identified properly contact Xorcom support.

2) there has to be a working outbound route
Set up a trunk (zap/g0 or whatever group your fxo ports are in), add it to the default outbound route.

3) inbound: If you're on freepbx 2.5 you have to set up zap channel dids for inbound routes to work.

First, thank you for the response. See my comments...

>For it to work you have to have
>1) the astribank working properly: from the commandline as root do
>ztcfg -vv

Is this not the same as detecting hardware from the GUI? Additionally... I have at no time run ztcfg yet, but all the hardware is showing up fine under asterisk -rx 'zap show channels'

>It may need different signaling in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf

Signaling is correct in all the conf files based on the port types and many many examples I've viewed, what I don't see anyone making mention of are the physical zaptel extensions settings from the GUI. I've tried several things there like changing signaling type removing echo cancellation but it still bears no affect.

For FXS ports I know you have to set echotraining=0 even to get dialtone, but I have NOT seen anyone mention if there is anything needed in terms of modification for the FXO port extension, and those are what I can not get working.

>2) there has to be a working outbound route

I have a route, dial 9 and go out zap g0. It appears it does this and strips my leading 9; however, I then immediately get 'all circuits busy' when it proceeds to g0...

-- Executing [s@macro-dialout-trunk:20] Dial("SIP/554-b760d460", "ZAP/g0/*some_number*|300|") in new stack
== Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/1/0)

Is it going out the correct channel? What does this represent, span 1, chan 0? If so its not passing it to the right span and channel, and that would mean to me the groups don't work correctly as these are defined...group 0 is channels 15-22 which are the FXO ports.

>3) inbound: If you're on freepbx 2.5 you have to set up zap channel dids for inbound routes to work

Inbound routes are the least of my concern at this point, I need the dial out over POTS more than anything.

Any additional suggestions are appreciated since thus far Xorcom support has just entailed some sales person merely forwarding my request to support, and there has been no comment back.
