Thank you for that tip, it actually helped me :). Prior to going with Asterisk 13 I always used Zaptel, I didn't realize Dahdi was so close to Zaptel in how it was used, once I read up a little bit on it I saw that there is a dahdi_genconf that works like genzaptelconf, once I ran this everything starts showing up in FBPX.
I'm sure I'll still use the Digium card - it's just sitting around collecting dust anyway - but I wanted to just see if I could get this to work. Truth be told I've wanted to put that Digium card in my home PBX for a while just never got around to it.
Anyone else stumbling upon this thread with similar issues, if you used Zaptel prior there's a good article I found. It covers upgrading from Zaptel which is unimportant with the latest FPBX distro but there is a section in that article that answered my question:
Now when upgrading from Zaptel, you need to modify your configuration files to enable your hardware in DAHDI. Most notably:
/etc/zaptel.conf is now /etc/dahdi/system.conf
The only real change here is new option 'echocanceller'. This option allows you to configure software echocancellation on a channel by channel basis. If the echocanceller line is not specified here, then software echocancellation cannot function.To configure the default echo cancellers, use the format: echocanceller=,
So to use MG2 on the first eight channels: echocanceller=mg2,1-8/etc/sysconfig/zaptel or /etc/default/zaptel are now replaced by /etc/dahdi/init.conf
/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf is now /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf
If necessary you should be able to simply rename an existing zapata.conf file to chan_dahdi.conf and get the system up and running again with DAHDI.All zaptel userspace tools have also been replaced with a DAHDI counterpart. All DAHDI tools are prefixed with 'dahdi_' now (with the exception of the HPEC tool). For example:
zttool is now dahdi_tool
ztcfg is now dahdi_cfg
ztmonitor is now dahdi_monitor
genzaptelconf is now dahdi_genconf
zaphpec_enable is now dahdihpec_enable
