Do I leave J1 jumpers connected for 2W?

Shane,

Since you are running as a half duplex remote base please verify the 
following:

1. The ARIB card needs to have the 4W/2W switch set to 2W (2 wire).

2. Only one cable should be connected from the channelbank to the ARIB card.

This should go from the port on the channel bank equivalent to Zap/25 to J1 
on the ARIB card.

3. There should not be a txchannel defined in the nodes section of rpt.conf.

4. Since you are running as a remote base, you must add a 'y' argument to
the 
end of the node definition, like this: 101 = radio at me.asterisk.net/101,y

5. /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf should have em_txrx for signalling on Zap/25.

6. /etc/zaptel.conf should have channel type for Zap/25 set to e&m

If after verifying the above items and you still have problems:


1. The Sangoma T1 card must be able to talk to the channel bank to control
the 
DPO port operation. We have not tested the Sangoma T1 cards with app_rpt and

cannot confirm if they support DPO operation through Zaptel.


Steve.
