Dear Gurus, Help!
I am trying to install * with a AVM C2 ISDN Controller and am completely confused! I have everything working in * I can call both phones, leave voicemail, retrieve voicemail etc. But how do I install the AVM C2 card? We have two ISDN Lines (4 channels) and we are in the UK. Below is my (long winded!) set-up: - Box is a Red Hat Linux Version 2.4.20-8 � i686 Asterisk Check that we have the correct packages (all of the below packages are required) to install asterisk by doing the following from a Terminal Window: - rpm �q kernel-source readline readline-devel openssl openssl-devel Music on Hold/MP3 Playback You may also need (depending on your desire to have music on hold) mpg123 which can be found at http://www.mpg123.de/mpg123/mpg123-0.59r.tar.gz >From your Linux box you can also type # cd /usr/src # wget http://www.mpg123.de/mpg123/mpg123-0.59r.tar.gz Extract it # tar -zxvf mpg123-0.59r.tar.gz # cd mpg123-0.59r Before compiling mpg123, change the line in the Makefile that reads PREFIX=/usr/local to PREFIX=/usr Now compile it # make linux # make install Once compiled make sure there is a copy in /usr/bin/mpg123 Note that the copy of mpg123 that comes with Red Hat 8 is of no use to you, it will not work with Asterisk. To check out Asterisk code from the Digium CVS repository: - >From a Terminal Window type: - cd /usr/src export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/cvsroot cvs login (the password is anoncvs) cvs checkout zaptel Zapata libpri asterisk this will create four directories, zaptel, zapata, libpri and asterisk. Now compile them: - cd zaptel make clean make install cd ../zapata make clean make install cd../libpri make clean make install cd ../asterisk make clean make install to install sample Asterisk configuration files type: - make samples To install the AVM C2 Active ISDN Card Remove kudzu from the start procedure - type the command /sbin/chkconfig --del kudzu The command /etc/rc.d/init.d/isdn stop will deactivate your ISDN HiSAX software and unload the drivers. Upon that the command rpm -e isdn4k-utils will remove the old IDSN software from your computer. Should you now get a list of failed dependencies you need to delete some installed programs first. Try this command rpm -e isdn4k-utils-vboxgetty isdn4k-utils-devel redhat-config-network isdn4k-utils xisdnload_1.38-62 it should work and remove all the programs that work with the isdn4k-utils. Next you change to the directory were you store the downloaded files. For thi you use the command cd with the proper directory name typed behind it. If you are there the command rpm -ivh capi4k-utils-2* will install the new base package of the capi4k-utils on your computer. In case your ISDN adapter or device requires a special firmware package you install it by typing rpm -ivh (name of the firmware archive) (for example capi4k-utils-avmb1-* for an AVM B1 PCI). At this time you need to install the CAPI 2.0 driver - if it is not part of the kernel - rpm -ivh (name of the driver package) (for example kernel-2.4.18-14-avmfcpci-* for the AVM Fritz!Card PCI) will do this. Now it should be all in place and we do some tests. The command rc.capi stop will unload the CAPI 2.0 control software that was automagically activated as you installed the capi4k-utils. We need to do this anyhow becaus now we have a new driver in place. The command rc.capi start will start the control software that loads the appropriate firmware and driver. If you don't get an error message at this stage your work was good. NOW POWERDOWN AND FIT AVM C2 ISDN CARD AND RE-BOOT Now, it is time to check if the CAPI 2.0 driver works. The command cat /proc/capi/controllers/1 should show you some information about your ISDN adapter or device. The command capiinfo does show you a lot of information about the technical capabilities of your adapter or device *** ENDS *** But now what do I do? Once I have worked this out (with your help) I intend to make available my steps for other newbie * users who have the same config as me.
