I installed an R2T1 on an i686 box with Trixbox 2.4.2 and I continue to get a busy signal every time I call the inbound trunk. I checked etc/zaptel.conf, etc/asterisk/zapata.conf, etc/sysconfig/zaptel, and zttool, which shows no alarms. I rpm'd and installed:

rhino-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-1.4.7.1-2.2.4.rpm

which appears to be an i386 compilation(?). I am wondering if I need to download rhino-2.2.4.tbz2 and compile it with an i686 kernel? If so, what steps are required to remove the "old" drivers before downloading/recompiling the new drivers?

That RPM is safe. Lets

That RPM is safe.

Lets split this in half and look at your zaptel.

I need the output of the following commands:

cat /proc/zaptel/*

cat /etc/zaptel.conf

lsmod

Clean install

James - thanks for your message. I started a clean install of trixbox 2.4.2 and Rhino 2.2.4 yesterday out of frustration with the busy signal issue. I will post again after tb is loaded, the driver rpm is installed, and config files are updated.

R2T1 Busy Signal

James: I did a clean install of Trixbox 2.4.2 and the Rhino 2.2.4 drivers and I am still getting a busy signal. I would appreciate any suggestions and/or ideas.

Here's a recap:

installed ISO 2.4.2 on Dell SC1435 AMD dual core processor
configured asterisk extension, trunk group, inbound route, outbound route, and ivr
installed rhino-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-1.4.7.1-2.2.4.rpm
edit /etc/zaptel.conf
# Global data
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=1-23
dchan=24
edit etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
switchtype=national
context=from-zaptel
signalling=pri_cpe
group=1
channel => 1-23
edit etc/sysconfig/zaptel
all modules commented out except:
MODULES="$MODULES rxt1"
NOTE: in /etc/sysconfig/ there is zaptel and zaptel.tb

Now check everything:
lspci
7:00.0 Network controller: Rhino Equipment Corp., Rhino R2T1
lsmod
zttranscode users=0
rcbfx users=0
rxt1 users=24
zaptel users=53 zttranscode, rcbfx, rxt1
cat /proc/zaptel/*
SPAN 1: R2T1/0/1 "R2T1 (PCI) Card 0 Span 1" B8ZS/ESF ClockSource
R2T1/0/1/1 CLEAR (IN USE)
R2T1/0/1/2 CLEAR (IN USE)
...
R2T1/0/1/24 HDLCFCS (IN USE)
zttool
NO ALARMS
