OpenVox A400P Not Working...Again

[JRayfield]

I re-installed PIAF on a computer on which it had been working with an OpenVox A400P card (1 FXO and 1 FXS).

Now, the card doesn't work again. When I try to dial out from an IP phone to the PSTN, I get the message that 'all trunks are busy' from PIAF. I haven't tried dialing into it. And, yes, there is a phone line plugged into it.

In the past, this seemed to be caused by a newer version of Asterisk. But, I am now running the version of Asterisk that was working ok with the A400P. So that isn't the problem.

I'm wondering if part of Zaptel isn't loading. I seem to remember that being a problem in the past when I had this same issue....one particular module wasn't loading. But, I may also be getting confused with some other problem.

I've seen that others have had similar problems, but I haven't seen any 'clear' resolutions. It would be nice to get this problem figured out and write up a nice 'how to' for those who want to 'try' to use the A400P cards.

So...any ideas?

Here's my configuration:

Now it works. I didn't do anything other than reboot. And I thought that I had already done that.

Has anyone else had any similar 'strange behavior' when trying to use an OpenVox A400P card with PIAF?
