y

yum -y install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) libtool* gcc patch perl bison gcc-c++ ncurses-devel flex libtermcap-devel autoconf* automake* apt-get -y install gcc g++ automake autoconf libtool make libncurses5-dev flex bison patch libtool linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Installing Asterisk / Zaptel / Libpri Note: Asterisk/Zaptel/Libpri Source can be downloaded from http://www.asterisk.org/downloads (Look for Asterisk downloads on right-hand side)
1. Zaptel Installation Download Zaptel into arbitrary directory (/usr/src) and untar it. #>tar xvfz zaptel-<version> #>ln -s zaptel-<version> zaptel #>cd zaptel-<version> #>./configure #>make #>make install 2. 3. LibPRI Installation Download libpri into arbitrary directory (/usr/src) and untar it. #>tar xvfz libpri-<version> #>cd libpri-<version> #>make #>make install 4. 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, zaptel1.4.8.tar.gz, once untarred will create the folder zaptel-1.4.8/ Once Zaptel, 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/Zaptel Installation (Linux) 1. Download the latest release -> Wanpipe Latest Driver or Download the the latest feature frozen release -> Wanpipe Feature Frozen Driver ---2. 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. --3. Run ./Setup install from the newly created wanpipe-<version> directory #>./Setup zaptel or #> make zaptel ZAPDIR=<absolute path of zaptel dir>

#> make install *** make should be used by power users who know exactly what they are doing :) Proceed with installation Select "Y" for each option. Under compilation mode: Select "TDM Only drivers" (Option #2). Setup will auto-detect zaptel sources in /usr/src directory? [By default Setup will look in /usr/src] Zaptel 1.4 -> wanpipe drivers use zaptel supported hwdchan so no patching is needed. Zaptel does not need to be recompiled Zpatel 1.2-> Setup will ask you if you would like to add support for Sangoma HW HDLC DCHAN PRI to Zaptel.

"Enable TDMV DCHAN Native HDLC Support & Patch Zaptel ? (y/n)" Select "Y" to Enable HW HDLC on DCHAN PRI in Zaptel. Setup will ask you if you would like to recompile/reinstall Zaptel. "Recompile/reinstall zaptel (recommended) ? (y/n) " Select "Y" to recompile/reistall Zaptel --4. Proceed with Defaults for the rest of the compilation. --5. Last step in installation will ask you to configure wanpipe cards for Zaptel ---> Proceed with YES this is your initial installation -> Note wancfg_zaptel configurator will overrite your zaptel.conf and zapate.conf files and save the originals as zaptel.conf.bak and zapata.conf.bak -> The configuration process continues on Configuration Section If any errors are encountered during the compilation of the utilities, click here for assistance.

Confirm Successful Wanpipe/Zaptel Installation 1. Confirm successful Wanpipe/zaptel installation run: #>wanrouter hwprobe

This command will load the wanpipe and zaptel modules and will print out list of all Sangoma hardware installed on the system.

Configuration/Operation
1. Create Wanpipe/zaptel Configuraiton Files -> run: #> wancfg_zaptel (Note -> this step was offered at the end of the ./Setup zaptel, if you already configured the card proceed to the next step) - Creates wanpipe configuration files in /etc/wanpipe - Creates zaptel config file in /etc/zapte.conf - Creates Asterisk zaptel config file in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf --2. Start Wanpipe Ports #> wanrouter start - Starts all wanpipe ports - Check /var/log/messages for info or errors --3. Configure zaptel module #> ztcfg - configures Zaptel kernel modules from /etc/zaptel.conf --4. Start Asterisk #> safe_asterisk
