What kind of information are you looking for? configuration or? If you
look in our manuals our cards and the Digium cards configure the same

Hi James, I have purchased a CB24-FXS-UNIV and am using a TE412P card
with a Asterisk 1.4 box.
One port of the card is connected to an E1. I was told to connect a
second port to the Rhino box.
The rest of the procedure is a bit of a mystery to me at this stage but
I am ready to dive into it Smile

Thanks for the reminder Paul but so far no luck.

I have been getting:
1) *** Initialising: Trying to frame D4 / ESF on the channel bank
2) Red flashing light on port 2 of the TE412P card

I have checked a few things here and there but I think I must have
missed some basic stuff. The funny thing is before I purchase the Rhino
channel bank, I have been assured that it will work although we are
using E1 downunder. Here is my configuration:

Asterisk box
TE412P Port 1 <---> E1
Port 2 <---> Rhino 24 port FXS (CB24-FXS-UNIV)
Port 3
Port 4

[zaptel.conf]
#
# E1
#
span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
bchan=1-15
bchan=17-21
unused=22-31
dchan=16
#
# Rhino 24-port Channel Bank
#
span=2,0,0,esf,b8zs
fxols=32-55

Any thoughts?

Have you tried setting the card as being T1 instead of E1 for the port
connected to the channel bank?

I assume span 2 is set ti T1...

Also you should be using a crossover if your going from the card direct
to the channel bank. Remember an RJ48 crossover and an RH45 crossover
are not the same.. It you are using an RJ48 crossover and your span 2 is
T1 then try auto T1

If All else fails you can contact support... Free via IAX and FWD for
international look at my signature below for details

Thanks Paul.
I was thinking about the same thing as I was leaving work today.
I will try to set the jumper just on port 2 and let you know.

I hope so. I was using the red cable that comes with the product.
Do you by any chance have the pin settings of an RJ48 crossover?
I want to make a few by myself as a backup.

Good to here,
I know the time off set US -> AU is terrible when you need support.

I have continued to configure the analogue phone by just adding new
extensions (just like any VOIP phone) to extensions.conf as follows:
exten => 5162,1,SetMusicOnHold(cpwr)
exten => 5162,n,Dial(Zap/32,20)
exten => 5162,n,VoiceMail,5162
exten => 5162,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => 5162,n,Wait(2)
exten => 5162,n,HangUp()

I was able to call out and call in.
However, I noticed that if I dial from the analog phone to a VOIP phone,
"asterisk" shows up as the dialler on the VOIP phone. This is because
it is not registered in SIP.

Because I think analog phone does not use SIP, so I thought I don't need
to configure sip.conf. Am I correct? Did I miss anything in
configuring an analog phone?

I think you can set callerid's in zaptel.conf for each analog port - I
did that for a client a while ago. (from memory)
