FreePBX 2.5.1.5 with asterisk 1.6.2.beta2 with TE121 PRI on CentOS 5.3

General Help

So, I’ve just installed the TE121 card and I’ve been googling everywhere to find out how to configure it. I’ve set up /etc/dadhi/system.conf correctly and it shows

[root@asterisk ~]# /usr/sbin/dahdi_scan
[1]
active=yes
alarms=OK
description=Wildcard TE121 Card 0
name=WCT1/0
manufacturer=Digium
devicetype=Wildcard TE121 with VPMADT032
location=PCI Bus 09 Slot 09
basechan=1
totchans=24
irq=98
type=digital-T1
syncsrc=0
lbo=0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)
coding_opts=B8ZS,AMI
framing_opts=ESF,D4
coding=B8ZS
framing=ESF

I know coding and framing are correct because I changed them, rebooted the box and coding and framing then appeared blank. Also dadhi_tools showed the card as being unconfigured where as right now it shows ‘ok’. Also the LED turns green when the cable is plugged in. So I ‘think’ at this point I can say everything is working on a card level.

So, it also appears to be correct. And last but not least, I had a default ANY/ANY under my inbound routes. And I g0 is the outbound trunk.

The problem here is I’m unable to receive incoming calls. All I get is a busy signal and asterisk never shows or see’s anything. And if I make an outbound call, it shows its using trunk g0, but just sits there and rings for-ever and never gets a connection.

I’m a but stumped. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there something simple I’m missing? I’ll post any other config files needed.

Thanks!

Not to sound evasive, but IIRC Digium provides free support for all hardware products.

At this point, I’m pretty certain it is not a hardware issue. But I could be wrong. When I unplug the cable dadhi_scan shows a ‘alarm red’, and then I plug it in the LED changes to green. But since I don’t know enough about it you could be right. My experience has been most vendors will ask you those questions and then say ‘its a software issue, the hardware is fine’.

Appreciate the suggestion though! I’ll follow up with them since I’m currently stuck at this point.
