Question
Configuring Digium TDM410P card for use in asterisk installation on Ubuntu server 7.10
I've recently setup a company VoIP server running asterisk 1.4 and freePBX to administrate it, which we would like to use to handle some incoming lines.
I've purchased and installed a Digium TDM410P with 2 x FXO and 2 x FXS modules + Echo Cancellation module, but the lights on the card don't light up to indicate it is active, and I can't get the card to work as trunks either, it seems as thou asterisk isn't recognising it at all.
I have confirmed the card is working but running up a trixbox installation on another box and putting the card in there where it works fine.
Running 'lspic' on the server shows the card as follows:
03:08.0 Ethernet controller: Digium, Inc. Unknown device 8005 (rev 11)
What is the standard way to get it to recognise and use this card?
I've been using asterisk for a couple of months now both for home and work use but have never installed a FXO/S card.
Edit: please also note for the hardware/line config, that the server is in Australia

You seem to have the wctdm24xxp module loaded even though it is not enabled in the configuration.
I would try this.
Stop asterisk (/etc/init.d/asterisk stop)
Restart zaptel (/etc/init.d/zaptel restart)
The have a look at lsmod to see what modules are loaded now.
You can also have a look at the end of the /var/log/messages file to see if there are any warnings or errors mentioned there.
ok
grblades: firstly when I went to restart zaptel it gave me an error
Zaptel telephony kernel driver: ioctl(ZT_LOADZONE) failed: Invalid argument
Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
line 11: Unable to register tone zone 'us'
zaptel.
I changed the loadzone in zaptel.conf to 'au' and restarted and it started fine.

I am running 1.4.8, should I upgrade to 1.4.9?
If so, should I redownload and remove then re "make install" the new package?
or just use apt-get or similar?

Krusher
Also, here's a list of the zaptel files found under /etc/
/etc/default/zaptel
/etc/init.d/zaptel
/etc/rc0.d/K30zaptel
/etc/rc1.d/K30zaptel
/etc/rc2.d/S15zaptel

/etc/rc6.d/K30zaptel
/etc/udev/rules.d/zaptel.r
/etc/zaptel.conf
/etc/zaptel.conf.bak
As you noted, the /etc/default/zaptel DOES have "wctdm24xxp" commented out, but still starts, even after a full system restart.

So it looks like it's sucessfully recognising the card here at least. Am not at work at the moment so not able to see if the light are on on the card yet.
These lines dont look right :-
Mar 11 00:35:09 voip kernel: [ 32.896381] VPMADT032: firmware zaptel-fw-vpmadt032.bin not available from userspace

I would try a reboot and if that does not work then upgrade zaptel.
To upgrade you just download the new zaptel source and compile and install it. Not need to remove the previous version as it will be overwritten. Its best to reboot afterwards so that you know if it works it will continue to work if the box is rebooted.

Still shows the following, after the upgrade.
# Autogenerated by /usr/sbin/zapconf on Mon Mar 10 17:38:01 2008 -- do not hand edit

defaultzone = us

Update: changed defaultzone to 'au'
Now ztcfg -vvv reports:
Zaptel Version: 1.4.9
Echo Canceller: MG2
Configuration
======================
Channel map:
0 channels to configure.

Next step?
zapconf probably takes the configuration from the freepbx configuration somewhere and then writes the file.
You can modify the file directly but then you run a risk that after a reboot or some other event zapconf is run again and overites your custom settings and it all stops working.
From your earlier posting :-
Mar 11 08:38:17 voip kernel: [ 30.199141] Port 1: Installed -- AUTO FXS/DPO
Mar 11 08:38:17 voip kernel: [ 32.227565] Port 2: Installed -- AUTO FXS/DPO
Mar 11 08:38:17 voip kernel: [ 32.638841] Port 3: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Mar 11 08:38:17 voip kernel: [ 33.048119] Port 4: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
It looks like you have a FXS module in port 1-2 and a FXO module in ports 3-4.
A FXO module uses fxs signalling and a FXS module uses fxo signalling (confusing I know).
So you could try manually adding the following to the /etc/zaptel.conf and trying the ztcfg command again :-
fxoks=1-2
fxsks=3-4
Zaptel Version: 1.4.9
Echo Canceller: MG2
Configuration
======================
Channel map:
Channel 01: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)
Channel 02: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)
Channel 03: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 03)
Channel 04: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 04)
4 channels to configure.
ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 1: No such device or address (6)
Tried a restart to make sure settings were applied, no difference :-(
I think its the zaptel driver not loading properly. The following lines indicate a problem :-
Mar 11 00:35:09 voip kernel: [ 32.896381] VPMADT032: firmware zaptel-fw-vpmadt032.bin not available from userspace
Mar 11 00:35:09 voip kernel: [ 32.896525] wctdm24xxp: probe of 0000:03:08.0 failed with error -5
I am out of ideas. I would contact digium at http://www.digium.com/en/c
