I am sorry about the "scalating", but I was panicking a little bit
after a couple of hours trying to fix the issue.

Nice to meet an "Astribank guru" . I will contact you soon Smile

The symptom is expelained in the following report that I filed earlier
today (unrelated to this one)

http://bugs.digium.com/12071

Channel 1 was left open from a failed configuration attempt

So the real error hides earlier in your logs. Look for 'chan_zap' in the
logs from the startup of Asterisk. And sadly you must restart Asterisk
to fix the error.

I din't fix it for me.

Not sure about how to call it. The provider (Eircom, Ireland) calls it PRA.

This messages follows in the other message reply.

You probably needed 'module unload chan_zap.so' before that. The module
was loaded, but it has bailed out before registering the CLI commands.

Or is the range in zaptel.conf incorrect? I noticed in your config file

I have ensured that no Astribanks modules are loaded and even rebooted

I'm not sure how an Astribank module would have affected this one. The
Astribank spans tend to be the last ones, hence it should not have
misplaced your hardware.

If the module is loaded but no hardware is present, your system should
not be affected.

Here's my guess:

You built Asterisk vs. a newer Zaptel (that happened to have the
Astribank drivers).

Now you reverted to the old Zaptel drivers. And those are of a version
before 1.4.8 . Hence the new ZT_GET_PARAMS of 1.4.8 does not exist
there. The ZT_GET_PARAMS ioctl Asterisk sends is thus not understood by
Zaptel and fails.

Unrevert to the new Zaptel version (of the modules. Stick with the
original zaptel.conf). Does this help?

I did build asterisk using zaptel 1.4.8 about 10 days ago. We were
having issues with DTMF , so I downgraded zaptel (rebuilding Asterisk
and libpri, of course) to 1.4.7, but the problems remained.
Anything else worked just fine, so I kept researching and no other
changes were done till today.
Zaptel 1.4.7 was working perfectly for almost 2 weeks and has the
Astribanks drivers too, so I just tried to add the Astribank to my
configuration today.

I wasn't being able to make it work, so I reverted the changes made
earlier and disconnected the Astribank trying to go back to the
previous known working config.
I have rebuild everything against Zaptel 1.4.8 and it works now, but I
am a little bit concerned about why asterisk tried to use the
functions belonging to zaptel 1.4.8.

My provider names the line a PRA, but this is understood anywhere as a
PRI (no fractional).

From the Asterisk configuration point of view, is there any other
difference between the fractional and full PRI apart from the number
of channels?

Do you guys know of any particular setting our provider (Eircom,
Ireland) could require?

I have a problem with DTMF when the PRI is the one carrying the call:
"1s" and "2s" are not transmitted. If the call is internal or carryed
by and IAX trunk + SIP it works nicely.

Well, on an E1 PRI config your D-channel is indeed assigned to channel 16,
the center channel. On a T1, your data channel is on channel 24, the last
channel.

Did you restore your zaptel config from samples or another source?

Why does this look suspiciously like a T1 line? Are you sure this is a
fractional E1?

My provider names the line a PRA, but this is understood anywhere as a
PRI (no fractional).

i believe your problem is at the hardware/driver/provider level so you will
be looking at the :
zaptel.conf & zapata.conf files
i don't know if this will help but here is my config for a E1 euroISDN line:

"zaptel.conf"
"""""""""""""""

span=1,0,0,ccs,hdb3 # First E1 Port
span=2,0,0,ccs,hdb3 # second E1 port
bchan=1-15,17-31
dchan=16
bchan=32-46,48-62
dchan=47
"zapata.conf"
""""""""""""""""
[trunkgroups]

[channels]

language=es
loadzone=fr
defaultzone=fr
context=default
switchtype=euroisdn
pridialplan=unknow
signalling=pri_cpe
internationalprefix = 00
nationalprefix = 34
rxwink=300 ; Atlas seems to use long (250ms) winks

threewaycalling=yes

callreturn=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no
group=1
channel => 1-15
channel => 17-31
group=2
channel => 32-46
channel => 48-62

i removed some stuff that is not important to you.

my second advice is : clonezilla ! it will clone any systeme from ide to
sata to raid 5 & make you feel calm & confidente when doing changes to
critical system components knowing you have your files safe on your other
RAID5 server. & believe me that would make you more productive because you
are concentrating on the programing you are doing rather than being
overtaken by the fear that you will break something that works. well, some
of you will know the feeling.

hope this helps Smile

Thanks for the advice. I will give it a try this evening.

My friends here are rsync (with backup option) and svn.

Before start and after changing any configuration I do an rsync copy
to my backup server. It takes only seconds and it keeps in a separated
folder any file changed in the process, so I can recover the previous
settings in just a few seconds using a single command.
Additionally a cron job takes my machines' /etc folders and commit
them an svn server so I can even recover an old version of a config
file easily.

You were right about the problem, but not about the cause.
