Basically something of the sort of:

Copy the sources of vzaphfc as a subdirectory vzaphfc under the sources
of zaptel . 

Add to Makefile.linux26 the line:

  obj-m += vzaphfc/


(or get the zaptel/zaptel-source packages from Debian)

 our Asterisk is not bristuffed. And you don't expect to use ZapBRI,
 anyway.
 
 BTW: with 1.4 and latest 1.2, bristuffed zaptel could basicaly work with
 the signalling  type pri_cpe/pri_net, though this is not well-tested and
 may not perform as well as bristuffed asterisk/libpri.

 You have zaptel channels configured in your zapata.conf .
 So I should leave both zaptel.conf and zapata.conf completely empty?

/etc/zaptel.conf is used to configure the kernel modules. It is used by
ztcfg.

/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf is used by Asterisk's chan_zap . Asterisk will
try to use any channel listed there. If no channel is listed there,
Asterisk will not attempt to use any.

(except possibly the pseudo channel for zaptel timing, if you happen to
have any zaptel device that provides timing, or ztdummy)

Re: [asterisk-users] vzaphfc?

2007-01-02 Thread Julian J. M.

Remove from zapata.conf the lines re bristuff (bri_cpe_ptmp, etc).

Setup misdn:
/etc/init.d/misdn-init config
vi /etc/misdn-init.conf(check it's ok, NT or TE, PTP or PTMP...)
/etc/init.d/misdn-init start
chkconfig --add misdn-init

Setup chan_misdn, in /etc/asterisk/misdn.conf. At the end:
[telco]
port=1
context=from-pstn
msns=*

Then, in extensions.conf:
exten = _,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=00)
exten = _.,2,Dial(misdn/g:telco/${EXTEN})

This is Asterisk 1.2 indeed, i need the chan-sccp driver from Sergio 
Chersovani because it supports multiple phone registrations from 1 ip 
address and AFAIK that channel doesn't work on 1.4 yet. Is there a lot of 
difference in misdn support between 1.2 - 1.4?


I tried googling for example configs with misdn but couldn't find any.

Thanks!

Re: [asterisk-users] vzaphfc?

2006-12-29 Thread Julian J. M.

It's not necessary to recompile the kernel for mISDN support. Check
http://www.laimbock.com/asterisk/

Grab the mISDN source rpm, and build it.

$ wget 
http://www.xs4all.nl/~pjl/downloads/asterisk/srpms/mISDN-cvs20061107-2_fc6.lc.src.rpm
$ rpmbuild --rebuild mISDN-cvs20061107-2_fc6.lc.src.rpm

then check /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
You should have the kernel modules and userspace applications. Once
installed, I could enable chan_misdn in asterisk 1.4 without issue,
and it's working great in NT mode with ISDN phones. I haven't tested
asterisk 1.2, but there is no it shouldn't work as well.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at it. The main reason for me to use
bristuff is that i don't want to mess mess around downloading and
compiling my own kernels. I am just running CentOS 4 boxes with stock
CentOS 4 kernels. Everytime I was screwing around with making my own
kernels sooner or later I got bitten by screwing up the installation of
the kernel and the box wouldn't boot anymore. :)

On the wiki I found the manual from BeroNet which looks pretty
straightforward but is for Asterisk 1.2

Any differences for Asterisk 1.4?

Thanks!!

[asterisk-users] vzaphfc?

2006-12-28 Thread Remco Barendse

Hi list!

I'm totally fed up with bristuff (or it's instability with a simple HFC-S 
card), 2 out of 3 times when people try to call they get the information 
tone that the number is not connected.


I would like to try vzaphfc and I am looking for information on it.

From previous posts I found that the only place where the sources seem to 

be maintained and available is at the debian site which I found here :
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-voip/zaptel/trunk/vzaphfc/

But I couldn't find any place where I could download a tarball.

Is vzaphfc an inplace replacement of the zaptel of bristuff? Or something 
separate?

Remco,

When you found out stuff, specially how to make stuff with a
simple HFC-S card stable please let me know.
We are not deploying them cards anymore because we never get
it stable.
Real simple setups can be done with a FRITZ!PCI card, but I
really prefer the quadbri cards for ISDN2

vzaphfc is not a complete replacement of bristuff. It replies on most of
it. Rather, it replaces the zaphfc subdirectory with an improved ZapBRI
driver for HFC-s-based PCI cards.

Further, if you're looking for 'something else' re: cheapo ISDN cards, 
definately give Asterisk 1.4 and mISDN a look - no BRIStuff, no huge patches, 
no wacky stuff.. all Asterisk-core support that worked really well in the 
brief time I tested it.

The key difference is rather than generating 8000 interrupts per second, the 
mISDN kernel driver (which itself can be thought of 'isdn4linux' version 2.0) 
polls the card, leading to much lower system load, and no 'wanted 8 bytes, 
read 7!' errors from dmesg.

Cheers,
Gavin.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at it. The main reason for me to use 
bristuff is that i don't want to mess mess around downloading and 
compiling my own kernels. I am just running CentOS 4 boxes with stock 
CentOS 4 kernels. Everytime I was screwing around with making my own 
kernels sooner or later I got bitten by screwing up the installation of 
the kernel and the box wouldn't boot anymore. :)


On the wiki I found the manual from BeroNet which looks pretty 
straightforward but is for Asterisk 1.2


Any differences for Asterisk 1.4?

Thanks!!

When you found out stuff, specially how to make stuff with a
simple HFC-S card stable please let me know.
We are not deploying them cards anymore because we never get
it stable.
Real simple setups can be done with a FRITZ!PCI card, but I
really prefer the quadbri cards for ISDN2


I think I'll try misdn or vzaphfc, if it is too complicated or i'm not 
satisfied with the results I will simply hook up a good old A/B adapter, 
convert the ISDN to analog lines and throw in a Digium TDM card.


I've pretty much had it with ISDN2
