Topic: x100p

[domainwizard]

following your excellent tutorials on adding non standard cards to the database, i probed and added the following to try to make my lowly x100p cheep clone card work....

all is well, being that following a commit in globals and a probe with the pci panel finds the card and loads it, however , if i do a initialize, the card disappears from the pci panel and obviously does not work.

am i missing something?
Version: sail-2.2.1-603

many regards on your excellent product and support

Hello

This is all fine.  An initialise is supposed to clear out all of the card infor from the database prior to doing a re-probe.  You would normally only do this if you were adding a new card to an existing system.  Once your card has been probed and committed then there is nothing further to do (at least as far as the card is concerned).

The X100P works OK as long as you have the bristuff release of asterisk.  This loads the OSLEC echo canceller which has some special code in it just for the X100P. 

Kind Regards

ok, but when a ring/tip comes in the analog line connected to the card, the asterisk cli is silent... and no come say hello

and on a totally different note what is the state of cdr affairs these days?

[SARK devs]

the asterisk cli is silent...

Probably because you didn't restart asterisk after you did the probe/commit.  Do zap show channels at the asterisk cli.  This will show if the card is being recognised by asterisk itself.

You can stop and start asterisk from Globals by pressing "STOP" and then "START"

what is the state of cdr affairs

I don't understand what you mean.  CDR works as it always has, either direct to /var/log/asterisk only or also to mySQL if you have that option enabled.


Kind Regards

i got distracted but am back onto this...

although the card appears configured in the gui, no come zap in the cli
is there a location i should check to see zap loadz?

thanks

[SARK devs]

lsmod should show if wcfxo and zaptel are loaded

cat /proc/zaptel/1 should show the card details

zap show channels (from the asterisk console) should show the zap channel.

Kind Regards

when i do a commit, i get this error

[SARK devs]

I've looked at this and I think maybe your card is not running correctly.  Try this...

Code: [Select]

/etc/init.d/sark stop
Now do..

Code: [Select]

modprobe wcfxo
ztcfg -vv
Then

Code: [Select]

cat /proc/zaptel/1
Post the output.

my impatience overwhemed me and i blew the whole thing away and started over, in which everything worked exactly as expected, however the x100 has a bit of static and echo on it, i noticed you do not support hem, and i assume this to be why, but is there anything that can be done to address the echo,

ztmonitor shows  ./ztmonitor 1 -v
 Rx #################################* Tx ###

do you think it would help to add in zapata.conf

 rxgain=10.5
 txgain=-3.5

or just throw the cheep thing away?

[SARK devs]

s there anything that can be done to address the echo,

Yes, we have had good results with OSLEC softecho canceller.   However, it isn't available with ATrpms so you either have to compile your own version of zaptel or download our SARK BRIstuff .iso, which is a complete SME Server/SAIL build.

:music:
where did the bristuff iso go?
:music:

[SARK devs]

  It was an old one.  We're just about to load a more up-to-date version...

Courage mon brave.

[domainwizard]

and i had just figgured the old one out ;-p

thanks and many regards

[domainwizard]

along the way i figgured out the answer for the original post, i had been using the bristuff, and then did a yum, which delivered me a new kernel, which did not methinks support oslec, and left everything working in the gui, once i turned back the kernel, to the original, everything worked happy,
i was able to replicate this theory, the x100 worked very well with the original kernel and oslec, but looked ok in the gui but no come work with the newer kernel

looking forward to the updated iso

cheers !
