configuring channel bank (Zhone Z-plex 10-24S)

[gerski]

Hello guys,

I have this system

Telco PRI - Digium TE205p (Span2) - Asterisk Server - Digium TE205p (Span1) - Channel Bank FXS- Analog phones.

here is my problem:

how can i configure the Zap channels (just like SIP configuration with unique username and password) to be use on vicidial? what configuration do i make to set it on vicidial client login to use that zap channel?

Thanks

You need to add lines like the following to your extensions.conf:

exten => 1901,1,Dial,Zap/1|30|o
exten => 1901,2,Hangup
exten => 1902,1,Dial,Zap/2|30|o
exten => 1902,2,Hangup
exten => 1903,1,Dial,Zap/3|30|o
exten => 1903,2,Hangup
etc...
the go through Zap/24

and in the astguiclient/admin.php page you need to setup one phones account for each one, use 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, etc for the extension and 1901, 1902, 1903, etc for the dialplan number and make sure you set the protocol as Zap.

thanks.. but this is for zap to zap am i right? if i need to configure it to zap telco also what is the command?

like for example on iax is

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/1112223333:PASSWORD@iax.binfone.com/${EXTEN})

but what is the command for zap? thanks a lot

Yes, that was just for your agents side. the extensions.conf you need for telco T1s would be:

[globals]
TRUNKX=Zap/g2

[default]
; dial a long distance outbound number
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,AGI(call_log.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(${TRUNKX}/${EXTEN:1},,tTo)
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,3,Hangup


That is assuming that your zaptel.conf and zapata.conf are configured properly and you have your outbound T1 channels configured as group=2 in zapata.conf.

Im having problem regarding dialtone for zhone channelbank here is my config:

zaptel.conf:

span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
fxsks=1-24
loadzone=us
defaultzone=us

zapata.conf:

[trunkgroups]
[channels]
language=en
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
echotraining=400
callerid=asreceived
immediate=no
context=default
signalling=fxs_ks
channel => 1-24

when i run ztcfg -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv it shows:

SPAN 1: ESF/B8ZS Build-out: 0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)

Channel map:

Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)
Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)
Channel 03: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 03)
and so on:

in my asterisk CLI command there is no error regarding zap, here is my config for my extensions.conf

in [default]
exten => 101,1,Dial,Zap/1|30|o
exten => 101,2,Hangup
exten => 102,1,Dial,Zap/2|30|o
exten => 102,2,Hangup
exten => 103,1,Dial,Zap/3|30|o
exten => 103,2,Hangup

and so on...

but it seems like our amphenol patch panel doesn't give dialtone. only dtmf when i press any key. and no CLI output.

thanks, hope you can help me...

Did you configure your Zplex first?

There is a script to do this over serial cable and ethernet:
