Hello! Our experience (over 1 month) of FreeSWITCH testing under SunSolaris 10 shows us such things :
1. FreeSWITCH can be built with gcc compiler, which consists at SunSolaris 10 by default : $ /usr/sfw/bin/gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. With this compiler is possible built FreeSWITCH except mod_openzap (this module needs ISO C99 compatible compiler), but, it'll be shown below, there are no any reasons to make mod_openzap under Solaris 10. 2. Newlyversion of gcc can be taken from CSW – repositories, for example here : http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/csw/unstable/i386/5.10/ There are consists all CSW — packages, which gcc needs for install. Full list of CSW — packages in a world can be found here : http://www.opencsw.org/userguide/ So we have : $ /opt/csw/gcc4/bin/gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. >From there we take packages aclocal & automake (they are absent into Sun Solaris 10 distributive ), if we want build FreeSWITCH — trunk starting from ./bootstrap.sh . 3. One more variant of FreeSWITCH installation, which described in a few sources in the Internet (http://www.voiceworks.pl/cypromis/category/solaris-opensolaris/) - is installation of Sun Studio 12 (package SunStudio12ml-solaris-x86-200709-pkg.tar.bz2 , from Sun Microsystems official site): /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc Build can be done in a command mode, redefining parameters CC, CCOPT, LDOPT, or even in Sun Studio GUI IDE, launching it from remote host : # ssh -nfX <sun-host> sunstudio 4. We built & installed FreeSWITCH + Zaptel + Wanpipe on 2 64-bit SunSolaris servers $ isainfo -k amd64 $ isainfo -v 64-bit amd64 applications tscp cx16 sse3 sse2 sse fxsr amd_3dnowx amd_3dnow amd_mmx mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8 tsc fpu 32-bit i386 applications tscp cx16 sse3 sse2 sse fxsr amd_3dnowx amd_3dnow amd_mmx mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8 tsc fpu + on a 64-bit server SuperMicro — SYS-5025B; proc. Intel Xeon 3210 : # isainfo -v 64-bit amd64 applications ssse3 cx16 mon sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8 tsc fpu 32-bit i386 applications ssse3 cx16 mon sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov sep cx8 tsc fpu # isainfo -k amd64 - on a last one we didn't even succeed even to start Zaptel + Wanpipe, having exactly the same configuration like on previous two. We didn't succeed to build some of FreeSWITCH libraries with 64-bit support, but that is a question of time and technology. So we built 32-bit version of FreeSWITCH. 5. This variant was successfully tested for SIP calls and execution of all extensions, whitch correctly works under Linux. 6. Then we set up support for E1/T1 Sangoma A-104. We found just this : - ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/Solaris/Beta/SVwanpipe-i386-5.10.pkg - ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/Solaris/Packages/SVzaptel-i386-5.10.pkg 7. We managed to configure and start that variant (zaptel + TDM Voice API). Complete equivalent of it successfully worked under Linux CentOS 5 — including configuration FreeSwitch mod_openzap. # ./wanrouter hwprobe ------------------------------- | Wanpipe Hardware Probe Info | ------------------------------- 1.

E1 spans 4, 3, 2 connected with cables are perceived by Wanpipe in a synchronisation mode that is visible also on GREEN LEDs on the card. 8. But we do not manage to receive any reception PRI events (under FreeSwitch) that it is possible to receive in precisely same configuration in Linux. 9.After that we tested just transmition of raw B-channel data with our own tests, which has been created when we wrote Zaptel drivers for nonstandart E1 equipment. This tests pass test data sequences into B-channel and receives them from another B-channel, which connected to the first B-channel with crosscable; cheks up identity of the received information and measures delay of data passing on a loop. This tests works good under Linux (we use them for a year), but under Solaris they shows us that Zaptel + Wanpipe doesn't receives B-data from B-chans. We have source code for SVzaptel-i386-5.10.pkg , developed by SunLabs https://svn.sunlabs.com/svn/solaris-asterisk/zaptel-solaris/trunk/ Studying of this package and site has shown us such things : * SVzaptel-i386-5.10.pkg was developed by little community http://www.solarisvoip.com/; * development of this package moves very slow, last updates — 2006 year; * package has limited functionality (unlike original Zaptel ); * SVzaptel-i386-5.10.pkg was tested on a limited amount of E1/t1 cards (only one !) - Digium Wildcard TE110P T1/PRI). We doesn't have source code for SVwanpipe- i386-5.10.pkg , so we cann't say anything about it. Resume: Declared, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeSWITCH and other URLs, platform support is realy only for SIP-protocol features but : * this can be done without using of any PBX, for example with the help of SER/OpenSER or sofia library; * is grounded that into OS is present : a) C — compiler; b) NetBSD compatible IP-stack (in this case QNX 6.4 and many others OS could be included in the list of supported OS) We suppose same things under OS *BSD family. For objectivity it is necessary to underline that the same state of affairs takes place and in all others free PBX, realising support E1 through the Zaptel interface: Asterisk, YATE etc. And all declarations about «supported planforms» is only promotional declarations. Though it is tested and affirms at : http://www.thrallingpenguin.com/articles/asterisk-solaris.htm - that Solaris releases of PBX should have almost in 2 times the big productivity, than for Linux — that has it sense only for narrow case SIP connections that hold back testers and enter the others into error. Any info would be appreciated, Evgeniy. _______________________________________________ Freeswitch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
