Sangoma, Dahdi and Zaptel problem

[Bruce]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem where only one ZAP channel is available to use for inbound or outbound with a Sangoma A400 card. I talked to a Sangoma tech and he told me that there is a problem with Zaptel drivers and that I should modify the following to chan_dahdi.so and do a ./make and ./make install:

#ifdef DAHDI_CHECK_HOOKSTATE
return 1;
#else
return 1;

The first return should be changed from return 0 to return 1.

This is happening with Elastix. I know that it's much easier to make change to source in PBXinAFLASH but I want to know if any of you guys experienced this problem and are struggling to fix it.

Thanks,

I know the Sangoma folks pretty well. My suggestion would be to update your FreePBX to the latest available, then back it up. Move the backup tarball to another machine. Then you can reload PbxInAFlash and run all of the updates. Make a backup from FreePBX. Then, navigate to the /var/lib/asterisk/backups directory and copy the tarball that you save earlier to that directory. Then do a restore.

Dahdi is not ready for prime time. One of the beauties of PIAF is that is compiled, so these types of changes are easier to implement.

Have fun and call me if you need to.
