dahdi show channels -- nadda! (rhino t1e1)

[nurep]

Hey all,

I've done a few SIP installs without a problem, but this is my first PRI install. I won't copy and paste here everything or elaborate on how many things ive tried because I'm not trying to bore the audience . I will of course on demand.

I'm on latest PIAF Bronze, Asterisk 1.6, FreePBX 2.9RC1. This is a test setup, because I need to test out the PRI connectivity.

I've followed:
http://pbxinaflash.com/wiki/index.php?title=RhinoHW-Install

and sort of this
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/DAHDI

So, I'm pretty confident that the PRI parameters are correct (frame, signaling etc), I'm also confident that the modules are loaded properly for the Rihno, I'm also pretty confident the dialplan is correct.

Shouldn't I be seeing a list of the available channels when doing a "dahdi show channels"?

I said I wouldn't copy and paste much but here's some:
dahdi show status

I have a feeling there needs to be more in the dahdi-channels.conf ...

dahdi restart/load

Changing signalling on channel 1 from Unused to Clear channel
Setting echocan for channel 1 to mg2
Changing signalling on channel 2 from Unused to Clear channel
Setting echocan for channel 2 to mg2
Changing signalling on channel 3 from Unused to Clear channel

.... etc etc 

Setting echocan for channel 23 to mg2
Changing signalling on channel 24 from Unused to HDLC with FCS check
Setting echocan for channel 24 to none

Thanks again.

can you post the output of:

cat /proc/dahdi/*

This line in chan_dahdi.conf is incorrect. The # sign is not a comment but part of the include directive:

include dahdi-channels.conf

It should be:

#include dahdi-channels.conf
