Installing the TDM04B
Plug it into a spare PCI slot on your Asterisk server, just like any other expansion card. If you installed the Zaptel drivers when you installed Asterisk, you’re almost there. (If you didn’t, you need to re-install Asterisk and compile in Zaptel support.) The next step is to configure /etc/zaptel.conf. First make a backup copy of the original /etc/zaptel.conf:
# zaptel.conf zaptel.conf-old
Delete everything in zaptel.conf. If you’re using the Nano editor, just hold down Ctrl+k until everything is gone. Then copy these lines into it:
;zaptel.conf
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us
fxsks=1,2,3,4
Notice how lines are commented with semi-colons, and not hash marks. Now you can manually load the module if you like, to make sure it loads:
# modprobe wctdm
# lsmod
Module Size Used by
wctdm 34880 0

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:

======================
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 wctdmÂyou can verify this by doing “lsmod”try these
cat /proc/interruptsordmesgoutput to prove a module for Digium card is loaded or not.February 2nd, 2007 at 6:49 pm
Try changing:
fxsks=1,2,3,4to:
fxsks=1-4I was getting the same error with four lines, one for each fxoks/fxsks. Changing to two lines of
fxoks=1-2andfxsks=3-4make ztcfg happy.July 21st, 2007 at 4:43 pm

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
