I recently updated our FreePBX distro from 10.13.66-16 to 10.13.66-17, and we lost our dahdi channels. We have an Astribank with 2 FXS ports and 6 FXO, plus a HWEC.
I looked and noticed that the upgrade had moved our /etc/system/dahdi.conf to a .rpmsave file. I executed ‘mv /etc/dahdi/system.conf.rpmsave /etc/dahdi/system.conf’ and executed fwconsole restart. After that, lsdahdi and dahdi_cfg -vvv both showed all of the channels, but asterisk had nothing. I opened the “Dahdi Config” module, edited the settings (clicked edit, but changed nothing), clicked apply, and then restarted dahdi and asterisk.
This did no good. I manually restarted everything using fwconsole restart again, for good measure, and no luck. I then spoke with Xorcom support, and we walked through the configuration files. /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi_additional.conf has settings for the two extensions, as I would expect, and /etc/chan_dahdi_groups.conf has lines to configure the 6 FXO ports, again as expected. What was unusual was that there are lines in /etc/chan_dahdi_groups.conf that are for the FXS ports, specifically:
signalling=fxo_ks
context=from-analog
group=0
channel=>1
signalling=fxo_ks
context=from-analog
group=0
channel=>2
I tried executing “dahdi restart” from the asterisk CLI and got nothing. I then removed those 8 lines from /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi_groups.conf and executed “dahdi restart” again, and this time I got all of my channels back. I then re-edited the module settings and clicked the Red bar to reload, and the file was re-written with those 8 lines. Running “dahdi restart” again this time left the channels there, but I got these errors:
[2017-01-06 14:59:46] WARNING[19974]: chan_dahdi.c:12467 mkintf: Attempt to configure channel 1 with signaling FXO Kewlstart ignored because it is already configured to be FXO Kewlstart.
[2017-01-06 14:59:46] WARNING[19974]: chan_dahdi.c:12467 mkintf: Attempt to configure channel 2 with signaling FXO Kewlstart ignored because it is already configured to be FXO Kewlstart.
I have no idea if this is expected behavior, but I’m pretty certain that those extra 8 lines should not be in /etc/chan_dahdi_groups.conf, so I thought I would ask here to see if that should be so.
Many thanks,
Tom
