Michael,

I will be performing similar tests in about one months' time.  Until then I do not have access to a Sangoma card plugged into an E1 trunk to assist with a real world test.  The cards I use are the A104DE running Euro-ISDN in the UK off BT.  I am based in Melbourne, Australia.

There are some important bug fixes in Sangoma's FreeTDM and you should use the Sangoma updated version.  In order to fast-track the changes I have created a ZIP file on my FTP site and a PDF document (see attached) to setup the latest production release of FreeSWITCH (version 1.4.19) on CentOS 6.6 with the Sangoma updated FreeTDM 1.9.0.  It may help.

Regarding Sangoma support, I can only recommend it.  It is free with their digital cards so I suggest you register online on their web-site and make use of it.  Also please be aware that the Wanpipe drivers R&D is done in Canada (where Sangoma's head office is based) and the FreeTDM/FreeSWITCH integration is done mostly in India.

Sangoma hope to merge FreeTDM (with the fixes) with FreeSWITCH in August/September this year.

Sorry I cannot provide a quick fix just yet.

As with any instruction document, Visytel Pty Ltd accepts no liability or loss of earnings from following the attached PDF.

Hi Michael,

I tried following both the sangoma wiki and freeswitch confluence pages when setting up the card.
Sangoma support would be my last resort, but I was hoping that someone on this list would have some hints or tips as to where I was going wrong :)

The card itself works fine, but what I need is to be able to send outbound calls and not have to worry about checking to see what port has free lines available.
>From reading the wikis I think this is possible by grouping the spans.

thanks
Matt

Hi Vallimamod,

thanks for your response. regarding the hunting order.

With regards to the group, I can't see in any of the files that group is
mentioned or referenced other than, as you say, freetdm.conf.
I have created the conf file manually and gave the spans different names
than wp1 and wp2 but this causes the mod_freetdm to not load correctly
stating that the spans cannot be found.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I am happy to have the spans named
as they are by wancfg_fs but I would like them to be grouped

thanks
Matt
