Downloading Asterisk/Dahdi/LibPRI
Go to http://www.asterisk.org/downloads and download Asterisk/Dahdi/LibPRI (Look for Asterisk downloads on right-hand side) .
You can use wget command to download sources (tar ball) on your local directory.
For example:
#> wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux-complete/dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz
#> wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libpri/libpri-1.4-current.tar.gz
#> wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-1.6.1-current.tar.gz
Installing Asterisk/Dahdi/Libpri
- Dahdi Installation
Download Dahdi into arbitrary directory (/usr/src) and untar it.
#>tar xvfz dahdi-linux-<version>
#>tar xvfz dahdi-tools-<version>
#>ln -s dahdi-linux-<version> dahdi
#>cd dahdi-linux-<version>
#>make
#>make install
#>cd ..
#>cd dahdi-tools-<version>
#>./configure
#>make
#>make install
- LibPRI Installation
Download libpri into arbitrary directory (/usr/src) and untar it.
#>tar xvfz libpri-<version>
#>cd libpri-<version>
#>make
#>make install
- Asterisk Installation
If you are upgrading Asterisk make sure that old asterisk modules are removed from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
#> cd /usr/lib/asterisk
#> mv modules modules.old
Download Asterisk into arbirary directory (/usr/src/) and untar it.
Untar Asterisk and proceed with installation
#>tar xvfz asterisk-<version>.tgz
#>cd asterisk-<version>
#>./configure
#>make
#>make install
#>make samples (in case of very first install)
Please note: <version> refers to the specific release of your program. For instance, dahdi-linux-2.0.0.tar.gz, once untarred will create the folder dahdi-linux-2.0.0.
Once Dahdi, Libpri and Asterisk are downloaded and untarred, you may proceed with WANPIPE® installation.
After completing the WANPIPE® TDM installation, you may proceed to configuring the full Asterisk suite.
Wanpipe TDM/Dahdi Installation (Linux)
- Download the the latest stable release -> http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-linux-drivers#stable
- Untar wanpipe release in arbitrary directory (/usr/src/ is recommended).
#>tar xvfz wanpipe-<version>.tgz
#>cd wanpipe-<version>
After untarring WANPIPE®, the wanpipe<version>/ directory will be created.
- Run ./Setup install from the newly created wanpipe-<version> directory
#>./Setup dahdi
or
#>./Setup dahdi --64bit_4GB
(in case X86_64bit & 4GB memory or more)
Proceed with installation Select "Y" for each option.
Setup will try to auto-detect dahdi sources in /usr/src directory ?
[By default Setup will look in /usr/src]
---
- Proceed with Defaults for the rest of the compilation.
--
- Last step in installation will ask you to configure wanpipe cards for Dahdi
-> Proceed with YES this is your initial installation
-> Note wancfg_dahdi configurator will overwrite your
system.conf and chan_dahdi.conf files and
save the originals as system.conf.bak and chan_dahdi.conf.bak
If any errors are encountered during the compilation of the utilities, click here for assistance.
Confirm Successful Wanpipe/Dahdi Installation
- Confirm successful Wanpipe/Dahdi installation run:
#>wanrouter hwprobe
This command will load the wanpipe and Dahdi modules and will print out list of all Sangoma hardware installed on the system.
Configuration/Operation
- Create Wanpipe/DAHDI Configuraiton Files -> run:
#> wancfg_dahdi
---
(Note -> this step was offered at the end of the ./Setup zaptel,
if you already configured the card proceed to the next step)
- Creates Dahdi configuration files
- Creates wanpipe configuration files in /etc/wanpipe
- Creates dahdi config file in /etc/dahdi/system.conf
- Creates Asterisk dahdi config file in /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf
---
- Start Wanpipe Ports
#> wanrouter start
- Starts all wanpipe ports
- Check /var/log/messages for info or errors
---
- Configure DAHDI module
#> dahdi_cfg
- configures DAHDI kernel modules from /etc/dahdi/system.conf ( Previously - ztcfg )
---
- Start Asterisk
#> safe_asterisk
