1. Running wancfg_zaptel in interactive mode.
2. Running wancfg_zaptel in silent mode.

Running wancfg_zaptel in interactive mode (Recommended)

To run the wancfg_zaptel script in interactive mode:
    #>wancfg_zaptel

Running wancfg_zaptel in silent mode (Advanced)

An external script or Web GUI can be used to generate configuration parameters and run the wancfg_zaptel utility with a single command.

For example:
    #>wancfg_zaptel --silent  --no_boot  --fe_media=T1  --signalling=pri_cpe  --pri_switchtype=national

Each parameter can be specified multiple types to apply different configuration to different ports. If a system has more ports than the number of specified parameters, the last parameter will be used for all the remaining ports.

For example:
If a system has an AFT-A104 (4 port T1/E1 card), executing:

   #>wancfg_zaptel --silent --no_boot  --signalling=pri_cpe --fe_media=T1 --pri_switchtype=national --fe_media=E1 --pri_switchtype=euroisdn

    1. Will configure the first port on the A104 as T1, and ports 2-4 as E1.
    2. All ports will be configured as ISDN PRI lines (--signalling=pri_cpe).
    3. First port will use a switchtype of National ISDN1 (--pri_switchtype=national).
    4. Ports 2-4 will use a switchtype of Euroisdn (--pri_switchtype=euroisdn).

Configuration options:

--no_boot
Does not generate wanrouter startup scripts on system boot.

--no_hwdtmf
Hardware DTMF is not enabled on cards with hardware echo canceller.

--no-zapata
Does not generate /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf or /etc/asterisk/zapata-auto.conf

--no-zaptel

These options can be specified multiple times, and are only applicable to Sangoma AFT-A10x cards.

--fe_media=<T1/E1>
Configures each port for T1 or E1. Default is T1.

--fe_lcode=<B8ZS/HDB3/AMI>
Configures the line coding for each port. Default is B8ZS for T1, HDB3 for E1.

--fe_frame=<ESF/D4/CRC4/NCRC4>
