I'm trying to get a Qwest PRI configured and working with my lab
Asterisk server. They said that the switchtype is 5ess and the signaling
is pri_cpe. My entries into zaptel.conf are:

span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=1-23
dchan=24
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us
channels=1-23
And my entries in zapata.conf are:

language=en
context=telco-incoming
switchtype=5ess
signalling=pri_cpe
rxwink=300
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=no
usecallingpres=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
canpark=yes
cancallforward=yes
callreturn=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no
group = 1
switchtype = 5ess
signalling = pri_cpe
group = 1
channel => 1-23

I'm not able to make/receive calls, and the error I'm receiving is:

[Jun 10 11:32:37] WARNING[31768]: chan_zap.c:2393 pri_find_dchan: No
D-channels available! Using Primary channel 24 as D-channel anyway!
== Primary D-Channel on span 1 down

Qwest says that the PRI is fine. I have a green light on the PRI card.

Help!

Your configuration looks correct to me at first glance.

card.

If you have a green light on the back of the T1 card, then you're at
least seeing framing and line-coding from Qwest, which is the first
step.

The second (and completely different) step is getting the D-channel to
come up. What did Qwest say when you told them that you're not seeing
the D-channel come up on the circuit? It's been my experience with
Qwest PRIs that you have to call them and have them reset a few things
on their switch to get the D-channel to come up.

1. Ditch the channels= in zaptel.conf that doesnt belong there (you've done
the channel config with the bchan= and dchan=
2. your span= should *probably* be 1,1 instead of 1,0 in zaptel.conf the
2nd "1" indicates to use that span as a primary timing source
3. not that it should matter, but you don;t need the duplicate group=,
signalling=, switchtype= in zapata.conf
4. you can ditch rxwink= that setting is for non-PRI T1s

try that and see if that helps... I suspect the span not being used as primary
timing source is whats causing your greif.

good luck!

Remove this line, please . "channels" is a valid zaptel.conf line, but
will configure those channels for use with pciradio. IIRC
'channels=1-23' is an invalid line.

What do you see in 'cat /proc/zaptel/*' ?

Have you run ztcfg after editing zaptel.conf ?
