Hi All, I have just this minute found a solution that works for us. The problem is not with the asterisk configuration but with the configuration of the Eicon Card.
I use the Eicon-supplied http server on port 10005 to configure the Eicon card. On the hardware configuration page, set: CAPI Call distribution = Standard behaviour After this change, I could have two simultaneous channels open for calls initiated in either direction. Notes on my setup: hardware ======== IBM PC 500Mhz Pentium III, 64MB ram Digium X100P PCI card Eicon Diva Server 2.0 PCI card software ======== RedHat 8.0 Asterisk 1.0.1 Eicon Linux driver package v 7.5 Chan_capi-0.3.5 Line ==== British Telecom ISDN2e line, configured point-to-point, 6-digit presentation, and no ddi numbers. Best wishes, John. -------------------------------------------- --- Craig Waddington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have the exact same problem, we have two Eicon > DIVA Cards (BRI UK), > using chan_capi by Junghann. > > The cards have been tested and work perfectly, if we > make two outgoing > calls simultaneously, and someone calls us, they get > a busy tone or call > failed, yet capi info says 2 channels are still > free??? > > My capi.conf says to use 2 controllers etc yet > Chan_capi does not seem > to work correctly. > > There is basically no information on the website on > how to configure for > the above or no examples on how to use the capi > features. > > We tried contact via email - no response. > > So decided to move over to using Cisco Routers and > Bri modules, which > actually works as it should. > > Using Callgroup doesn't make any difference: > > [interfaces] > msn=123456789 > incomingmsn=* > controller=1,2 > softdtmf=1 > accountcode= > context=incoming > ;echosquelch=1 > ;echocancel=yes > ;echotail=64 > callgroup=1 > ;deflect=12345678 > devices=2 > > In sip.conf > > [**] > type=friend > username=** > secret=20 > canreinvite=no > host=dynamic > context=test > callgroup=1 > pickupgroup=1 > > Maybe that may help. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of John Smith > Sent: 08 December 2004 23:57 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] CAPI, BRI and grouping B > channels > > > > Dear All, > > I have a working asterisk installation in the UK on > BRI point-to-point. > > I am using Redhat8 with one Eicon Diva Server 2.0 > card > with chan_capi-0.3.5 and Asterisk 1.0.1. > > I have got to the stage where I can make and receive > calls over ISDN. > > My question: > > How do I group the 2 B channels so that when one > channel is in use, the other channel is availble to > receive[make] an incoming[outgoing] call ? > > At present, when only one channel is used, any > attempt > to dial in from outside is met with a busy tone. > > I think the 'group' directive is what I am looking > for, but I don't know if it can be used in > /etc/asterisk/capi.conf or even if that is the > correct > file to place it? modem.conf ? extensions.conf ? > > Any help gratefully received, and thank you to all > for > this excellent software. > > John. > > > > ___________________________________________________________ > > Win a castle for NYE with your mates and Yahoo! > Messenger > http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com > _______________________________________________ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > _______________________________________________ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > ___________________________________________________________ Win a castle for NYE with your mates and Yahoo!
