Zaptel t-1 install

[ednunnemaker]

can someone post an install guide for t-1's for us newbs, i just cant get it to work, i have now had to reistall the software for this machine 3 times because i'm partially stupid and every time i have had to call digium to set up the card, i took notes last time but they just don 't work, what do i have to do to make these digium te122p installs work. i was told i needed to edit etc/zaptel.conf, which i did, and i needed to edit etc/asterisk/zapata.conf , which i did, but i get an error when the system boots that says:

ZT_SPANCONFIG failed on span 1: Invalid argument (22)

what am i doing wrong and why does is this so hard for me to get working? its supposed to be easy right?

here are my files:

/etc/zaptel.conf

I've done several T1 installs. But to help you I need a bit more info. Is this T1 or E1? T1 have 24 channels, E1 have 31. Your zaptel.conf can't be right for either one.

Try:

# Span 1: WCT1/0 "Wildcard TE122 Card 0" (MASTER) B8ZS/ESF
span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=1-24

# Span 2: WCTDM/0 "Wildcard TDM410P Board 1"
fxoks=25-28

# Global data

defaultzone = us

its a 16 channel

i know this is weird but it works on the test box that is installed, and it worked on the "production" box before i had to reinstall the software.
its a 16 channel t-1 the customer used to have it fractioned with 16 channels voice and 8 data, but they got a new t-1 for data and never opened up the other 8 channels to voice, i copied the known good files from the test server that is working directly to the production server. it is a 24 channel t-1 with 16 voice channels. there is also a tdm410p with 4 fxs cards in it, digium set this up originally.

Try:

# Span 1: WCT1/0 "Wildcard TE122 Card 0" (MASTER) B8ZS/ESF
span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=1-16

# Span 2: WCTDM/0 "Wildcard TDM410P Board 1"
fxoks=17-20

it may not work. I still think this is right:

# Span 1: WCT1/0 "Wildcard TE122 Card 0" (MASTER) B8ZS/ESF
span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=1-24

# Span 2: WCTDM/0 "Wildcard TDM410P Board 1"
fxoks=25-28

17 - 24 would be ignored anyway I think

tried them all no dice, when i run zttool it says both cards are unconfigured, i relly don't know what the hell is wrong.. guess i will call digium in the morning and have them tell me.

I think the context is wrong.

I saw context=from-internal

Should be

context=from-zaptel

I assume you ran ztcfg -vvv after the changes?

This message means the problem is with the zaptel.conf
'ZT_SPANCONFIG failed on span 1: Invalid argument (22)'

I'd try removing the TDM card and work on getting the span card working first.

just incase

Just incase someone else is banging their head aganst the wall with this.

Zapata_auto was trying to define my fxo ports as channels 1-4 not 25-28 like they were supposed to.

that was commented out in zapata.conf

i had an issue with zapata-additional because i defined the channel for the fxs port as g1 instead of 25.

i needed to list them in zaptel.conf as
