   Regards,
   I am using TDM04B card with asterisk 1.4. I have downloaded and installed Zaptel 1.4.0. Earlier I was using Asterisk 1.2 and Zaptel 1.2 with the same card, and it was working properly. Now when I give the command ztcfg -vvvv, I get the following logs:
   Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
   line 4: Unable to read Zaptel version information.

   Zaptel Version:
   Echo Canceller:
   Configuration
   ======================

   Channel map:

   Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)
   Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)
   Channel 03: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 03)
   Channel 04: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 04)

   4 channels configured.

   Changing signalling on channel 1 from Unused to FXS Kewlstart
   ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 1: Inappropriate ioctl for device (25)

   The zaptel.conf file
   loadzone = us
   defaultzone=us
   fxsks=1,2,3,4

   When i restart the system still i get the same error while loading. Inappropriate ioctl for device (25).

   Please guide..

   Thanks,

   Did your OS recognize the card?
   By typing ‘lspci’ you will receive a list of all the PCI devices you have. Note that Digium cards are recognized under different name:

   you should see something like this : Communication controller: you can verify this by doing “lsmod”
   Did you load the module for digium TDM04B card. For FXO do this: modprobe wctdm  you can verify this by doing “lsmod”

   try these cat /proc/interrupts or dmesg output to prove a module for Digium card is loaded or not.

   Try changing:

   fxsks=1,2,3,4

   to:

   fxsks=1-4

   I was getting the same error with four lines, one for each fxoks/fxsks. Changing to two lines of fxoks=1-2 and fxsks=3-4 make ztcfg happy.

   Nabi, This is bug in zaptel.4.1.11,

   I faced the same problem while compiling zaptel.

   You can apply the following zaptel patch:

   http://bugs.digium.com/file_download.php?file_id=19260&type=bug

   1. Open the URL copy the text in zaptel source directory i.e. zaptel.patch

   2. Apply the patch using following command you are done.

   patch -p1 < zaptel.patch

   For configuration of TDM04B 4FXO card:-
   First of all configure zaptel.conf in /etc/ such as:-

   loadzone=us
   defaultzone=us
   fxsks=1
   fxsks=2
   fxsks=3
   fxsks=4

   after that check ztcfg -vvvv and zttool.

   and after that just configure zapata.conf in /etc/asterisk/ :-

   [channel]

   language=en
   context=from-pstn
   usecallerid=yes
   hidecallerid=no
   callwaiting=yes
   usecallingpres=yes
   callwaitingcallerid=yes
   threewaycalling=yes
   transfer=yes
   cancallforward=yes
   callreturn=yes
   echocancel=yes
   echocancelwhenbridged=yes
   rxgain=0.0
   txgain=0.0
   group=0
   signalling=fxs_ks
   channels => 1-4
   callgroup=1
   pickupgroup=1
   immediate=no

   Thanks
