Zaptel Issue: Had to run genzaptelconf at each reboot to start TDM400 Card

[WAudette]

Issue Resolved: Had to run genzaptelconf at each reboot to start TDM400 Card or I couldn't get inbound or outbound calls through this PSTN interface.

I had started with a fresh version of PBXIAF 1.3 install.

Then I ran:

update-scripts
update-fixes
update-source

After that I ended up with a system running Zaptel 1.4.12.1, Asterisk 1.4.22, and FreePBX that I had to update to 2.5.1 (but that's the unimportant bit right now). Your results may vary at any time after I write this and someone updates something.

I found out which version of zaptel I was running by running this command:

dmesg | grep Zap | more

Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196
Zaptel Version: 1.4.12.1
Zaptel Echo Canceller: MG2
​

The Workaround
A work around was to run genzaptelconf from /etc/rc.d/rc.local before the line fxotune -s.

My file looked like this:

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/etc/pbx/runonce
/usr/local/sbin/motd.sh > /etc/motd
/usr/src/zaptel/fxotune -s
/usr/local/sbin/amportal start

The Fix
I eventually found this file that had a wrong path:
/etc/sysconfig/zaptel

Had these lines:

# ZTCFG: The full path to ztcfg. default: /sbin/ztcfg .
ZTCFG=/usr/local/sbin/ztcfg

It needed to be:

# ZTCFG: The full path to ztcfg. default: /sbin/ztcfg .
#ZTCFG=/usr/local/sbin/ztcfg
ZTCFG=/sbin/ztcfg

The path to ztcfg can be found by running this command from the CLI:

where ztcfg

I hope this helps someone else.

My /etc/sysconfig/zaptel had the ZTCFG=/usr/local/sbin/ztcfg
line commented out and the comments said that the default is ZTCFG=/sbin/ztcfg. So that is not my problem. I'm still investigating.
