R8Fxx and Trunk Configuration

[rbamburg]

I am confused about Zap Trunks...

I have installed a R8Fxx card with 4 FXO ports (2 Mod's)

Drivers are loaded and /etc/asterisk/zapata-auto.conf shows:
===========================================
; Span 1: Rhino RCB8FXX/1 "Rhino RCB8FXX/1" (MASTER)
signalling=fxs_ks
; Note: this is a trunk. Create a ZAP trunk in AMP for Channel 1
context=from-zaptel
group=0
channel => 1
signalling=fxs_ks
; Note: this is a trunk. Create a ZAP trunk in AMP for Channel 2
context=from-zaptel
group=0
channel => 2
---- More but I did not paste it all ------
============================================

Now for the question. In FreePBX, does "g0" represent group 0? All 4 channels show group=0.

Do I need to create a new zap trunk for each channel?

I created a Zap/1 and got an incoming call to go thru. Wasn't sure about things, deleted it and then recreated it again. Now it don't work. What did I do?

Do I need a Zap/1, Zap/2, Zap/3 and Zap/4 (one for each port) ?

Thanks again ... You folks are great.
I'm looking forward to the day I can do more than ask questions.

look like the answer is "YES" for all the questions

To put a little more meat on Bart's answer, you can treat all channels as a group (g0) or you can treat them individually, eg, zap/1 2, 3 and 4

So if I send calls out to Zap/g0 then they will just search for an available line?

And if I want to control the line order then I need to create a Zap for each line and set the order in the outbound route???


By the way.... after creating the Zap/1, deleting it, and recreating it, I had to totally shutdown and reboot. Then it started working.

Hey Joe...

Is there a problem having Zap/g0 and Zap/1 both configured in FreePBX?

How does it look in your Op Panel?

When I configured a PRI with 16 trunks, the Op Panel showed Zap 1, Zap 2, etc.

However when I configure the R8FX... trunk for 6 channels, Nothing is showing in my Op Panel.

I have an R8Fxx card with 2 fxo modules. It is working fine, but the zap/1, ... ,zap/4 trunks do not show up in my FOP at all. I see my sip and iax2 trunks on FOP. Anyone else with this issue?

 

[kbeall]

did anyone get an answer on this thread about the zap trunks not showing in the fop panel? I have the same issue with a rhino r24fxx-ec card with 6 fxo trunks. Calls work fine but the trunks do not show in the FOP. Is this normal?
