Hi, all

I want to configure a few FXS ports in an Antribank-16 to be able to
receive faxes sent throught a PRI:
E1 ==>Zap * ==>FXS * ==>Fax machine

My asterisk box has a Digium TE120P (for the PRI).

Versions are *=> 1.4.17 | Zaptel=>1.4.8 | libpri=>1.4.5

The Astribank is not configured yet, because I am a little bit
confused about how to do it.

Let's say I configure the FXS ports in the Astribank as channels 41 &
42 (only 2 for the moment).

I dedicated DIDs 111111 & 222222 for internal faxes.

Can I just set the dial plan for : (not actual coonfig)

exten=> 111111,1,Dial(Zap/41)
exten=> 222222,1,Dial(Zap/42)

Do I need any other piece of software?

I know 1.6-beta is capable of managing faxes properly, but I won't
upgrade my * if any other option is available.

Thank you.

That's what I do with my Adit channel bank.

Hmmm... One full E1 span will get you channels 1-31 (even if you use
only up to channel 24, the span will register 31 channels). So the
FXS ports of the Astribank will occupy ports 32-39 and 46-53 (40-45 are
the I/O ports).

But then again, normally you just use zapconf / genzaptelconf and get a
working configuration.

So I suspect you got the channel numbers wrong there.

I used those numbers as an example, but I though I could relocate the
Astribank channels to a higher number and have a cleaner setup.

I don't like using automatic tools, because they used the american defaults.

Should I just use zapconf/genzaptelconf and change the zones?
Thanks

Basically yes, except the Zaptel channel numbers.

Those numbers are set at zaptel registration time. So there's not much
freedom for you to set them.

You could assign channels to groups at your whim (baring that there are
only 64 of them).

The default can be changed by setting lc_country in
/etc/{sysconfig,default}/zaptel .

That's another possibility.

You can always hadncraft your own, of course.
