Sangoma A102 auto-configuration
Submitted by callinectes on Wed, 05/14/2008 - 7:52pm.
Can anyone help me with setting up a Sangoma A102 on a trixbox Pro SE? During installation I noticed that it was recognized but there was no configuration generated; I confirmed this in the control panel as there are no cards showing as detected. If I run auto detection from the web control panel I do get a notice that "Sangoma A102 with Dual T1/E1
has been detected." but there is no card shown in the drop down box to configure. Also, when I run auto detection from the console I almost immediately get the message "No such file or directory at /var/adm/bin/detect_pstn_cards.pl line 278. Sangoma A102 with Dual T1/E1", then a few lines later I see " WARNING[5952]: asterisk.c:882 quit_handler: Cancelling asterisk shutdown, task already in progress" (which I don't think is related because I have run it again and not received the warning message), then it displays the configuration menu again. If I choose "Show T1 status" I get "No T1 spans found." Can someone take a look at this or at least offer some advice? I would like to stick with auto-detection options if possible but I will obviously resort to editing the config files if necessary. The server is 123135.
FYI, this PCI card appears to be a Sangoma A101 with an A103 daughter card which gives it a second T1 port but is recognized as a A102.
Thanks in advance!

The server then locked up. I rebooted and now in the console when I choose option 9 to "Show T1 Status" I get the following:
Span 1: WPT1/0 B8ZS/ESF Status: OK
Span 2: WPT1/0 B8ZS/ESF Status: OK
(note: they are not connected to T1 service or loopback at this time)
But when I go to the web control panel it still shows no cards configured under basic but under advanced everything seems to be setup properly.
Also, now when I check interrupts IRQ 153 shows wanpipe1, wanpipe2.
Is this sufficient even though the basic interface does not show the card?

Okay - so I tried to change the configuration since it did start showing the card and after I save the config changes and restart asterisk the server locks up and I have to reboot it. When it comes back up asterisk will not load and I can't get the card to show back up unless I run setup-sangoma (the perl script doesnt seem to work). My biggest issue is that when I run the setup-sangoma and I try to set for fractional channels the setup errors out and fails. So my question is, how do I manually set the channels? Should I manually edit the configs created by setup-sangoma?
Okay, so I manually edited

Okay, so I manually edited zaptel and zapata - should that be enough? Also, are my manual changes going to get overwritten if any other changes are made via the web interface? This is my concern about manually editing and why I would hope the auto/web configurations would work.
You can manually change

After getting some sleep and pondering on it a little that obvious alternative presented itself and that is what I did. Thanks!
Any clue why I had to use setup-sangoma (with a little manual editing) to get it to work and why, when I use the basic web interface to change anything, it causes the server to crash? Could it be a firmware issue? If you think so can someone point me in the right direction for finding out and updating if necessary?
It may be due to your

It may be due to your somewhat to your t1 configuration:

I have never seen this setup, it is definitively something we don't test for.
Thanks,
