So I decided to move over to AsteriskNOW 1.7 platform based on your recommendation and other factors. However when I install it, my PSTN calls do NOT work. This is a working system, no changes still using the same Digium Wildcard TDM410P card etc.
The ironic thing is that if I install TB 2.8.0.4 it works fine. What step am I missing with AsteriskNow. I can’t believe it’s that difficult.
Any number of factors.
From the first install you have to reboot the AsteriskNOW so that some settings apply.
Then you will configure your card with the DAHDi configuration tool so that the card is setup correctly and then do a new reboot just to clean things up.
After that you configure the system setting up trunks and extensions.
“Configure your card with the DAHDi configuration tool so that the card is setup correctly”… Any write up how to go about that.
Do I go in Command line and just use dahdi_genconf?
The Freepbx GUI reports on my card and tthe default trunk g0 is defined … its just that after defining by one extension and my in bound route the test calls are never answered.
It is in the menu to the left in FreePBX, it is called DAHDi.
As for why your calls is never answered I really don’t have a clue without a proper CLI trace from Asterisk.
My observation is that chan_dahdi.conf is effectively blank. Who are what is creat it? Did I miss a step to define it? or did Freepbx not do it’s job?
The dahdi configuration can supposedly detect the hardware (since the driver is loaded) and define channels. I,ve accessed that module and “installed” chan_dahdi.conf … but as you can see nothing
