x100p outbound calls

[pixel]

Hi

not sure if this is the right place to post, but here goes.

I recently purchased an x100p from ebay, and installed it in my FC4 server. Inbound calls work properly, but whenever I try and dial an outbound number, i get "Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/0/1)"

here are the lines from my config files:

zaptel.conf
=======
fxsks=1
loadzone=uk
defaultzone=uk


zapata.conf

[channels]

usecallerid=yes

exten => 123,n,Hangup()


any ideas? thanks

Cant you make outgoing calls on anyother phone or softphone?

What are you distro are you using? Standard asterisk of trixbox? IF you have FreePBX installed i suggest you check that under the gerneral tab:

Security Settings

Allow Anonymous Inbound SIP Calls?
** WARNING **

Setting this to 'yes' will potentially allow ANYBODY to call into your Asterisk server using the SIP protocol

It should only be used if you fully understand the impact of allowing anonymous calls into your server

...you should have this set to yes.

Doesn't sound like a NAT issue from what your are saying.

Let me know if that works.

I am using asterisk on Fedora Core 4.
I can happily make and receive calls on SIP, using provider sipgate.co.uk. And I can received calls into my asterisk box via the X100p and the BT line. But when I try and make an outbound call over the BT line, e.g. Dial(ZAP/1/07123456789) I get a busy tone

thanks

Are you getting inbound calls via your zap card?

[mattpark]

I seem to remember someone having this problem before.

IIRC, i sent them this

10.1 Digium Wildcard X100P FXO PCI Card



This card allows you to connect a POTS (plain Old Telephone System) line to your Asterisk box (See Notes for Patch information).



If this card is added after Asterisk has been configured, it may be necessary to configure it by using the zaptel card auto-config utility so the correct zaptel driver will be set up. To do that, enter the following from the command line.



rebuild_zaptel



Restart Asterisk



Shutdown –r now



After restart run the following;


genzaptelconf



Restart again.



Shutdown –r now


Next go into the freePBX web interface to create a trunk and you will notice that there is already a trunk called ZAP/g0. You need to edit this.


1. Enter the phone number for you pots line in the Caller ID field
2. Enter 1 for Maximum channels
3. Set a dial rule you want for this trunk
4. Select an outbound dial prefix to select this trunk when dialing
5. Set the Zap Identifier to 1 (the default is g0)


Once the card is configured, you must add a route for Incoming Calls or asterisk will not answer this line



Click on Incoming Calls in freePBX and set up an incoming route. To make outbound calls you will need to set an outbound route as well.



If you have this card installed, you may need to edit the following files (usually you don’t have to); zapata.conf, Zapata-auto.conf, zaptel.conf and modprobe.conf. The last 2 files live in the /etc directory – use a text editor (I use nano) to edit them as you cannot edit them through Config Edit.

10.1.1 zapata.conf

Under [channels] add the following lines:

[channels]

busydetect=yes

busycount=6



The above is to ensure that the line is hung up if there is no answer or busy after 6 busy tones.



For my installation to function correctly, I have also changed the following setting to obtain a good compromise on volume/echoing:



rxgain=4 (you may have to experiment a little with this setting)

txgain=2 (you may have to experiment a little with this setting)


10.1.2 Zapata-auto.conf

Ensure the following exist in zapata_auto.conf. It is located at the end of the file.



context=from-pstn

group=0

channel => 1



Leave the rest of the file as it is.


10.1.3 zaptel.conf

Change the loadzone and defaultzone to “au”



# Global data

loadzone = au

defaultzone = au


10.1.4 modprobe.conf

For usage in Australia, add the line highlighted in Red below:

.

alias char-major-196 torisa

options wcfxo opermode=AUSTRALIA ; add this line

install tor2 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install tor2 && /sbin/ztcfg

Did you configure your card after main asterisk install?
