====== DAHDI ======

DAHDI provides the drivers for Digium and other common TDM telephony cards.

DAHDI was previously 'Zaptel'.

===== Old Zaptel (Pre-DAHDI) Info =====

Recompile Zaptel Modules After Installation or After a Kernel Upgrade

Reference for zaptel stuff is the Digium Users Manual for the card you have.

<file>
vi /usr/local/sbin/rebuild_zaptel

</file>
change line 56 - directory is 1.4.9.2

<file>
rebuild_zaptel
</file>
----

Or the manual way:

<file>
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/zaptel/zaptel-1.4.12.1.tar.gz
cd /usr/src
tar -zxvf zaptel-1.4.12.1.tar.gz
cd zaptel-1.4.12.1

make clean
./configure
make menuselect
</file>

Enable the module you need for your card (wctdm24xxp for AEX800, wctdm for TDM400P) and the firmware needed by your card (VPMADT032 for EC module) and then save those changes.

<file>
make
make install
make config
</file>

Use 'modprobe' to load the proper module for your card.

Use /usr/local/sbin/genzaptelconf to generate the /etc/zaptel.conf file and verify:

<file>
# Span 1: WCTDM/0 "Wildcard AEX800 Board 1" (MASTER) 
fxsks=1
fxsks=2
fxsks=3
fxsks=4
fxsks=5
fxsks=6
fxsks=7
fxsks=8

# Global data

loadzone        = us
defaultzone     = us
</file>

With Asterisk stopped, stop and start the zaptel drivers:

<file>
service zaptel stop
service zaptel start
</file>

Verify channel configuration with:
<file>
ztcfg -vv
</file>

Use 'dmesg' to verify the proper loading of the zaptel modules.

Edit /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf to your needs:

<file>
[channels]
language=en
context=from-outside
switchtype=national
signalling=fxs_ks
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=yes
usecallingpres=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
canpark=yes
cancallforward=yes
callreturn=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no

group=1
context=from-outside
channel => 1-8		#only include the channels that actually have phone lines connected
</file>
