Chapter 1 Overview
1. What is B100M
B100M is a mini-PCI compliant card supporting 1 BRI S/T interfaces, with an onboard multi NT power feeding circuit. NT/TE mode can be independently configured on this port.
B100M can be implemented for building Open Source Asterisk based systems such as ISDN PBX and VoIP gateway.
Target Applications:
1) High Performance ISDN PC Cards
2) ISDN PABX for BRI
3) VoIP Gateways
4) ISDN LAN Routers for BRI
5) ISDN Least Cost Routers for BRI
6) ISDN Test Equipment for BRI
Main Features:
1) Two integrated S/T interfaces
2) ITU-T I.430 and TBR 3 certified and S/T ISDN supporting in TE and NT mode
3) Integrated PCI bus interface (Spec.2.2) for 3.3V and 5V signal environments
4) DTMF detection on all B-channels
5) Multiparty audio conferences bridge
6) Onboard power feeding
7) PCM bus connectors daisy chaining
8) The port can be independently configured for TE or NE mode
Full software and hardware compatible with Junghanns.NET ISDN and mISDN driver
9) Application ready: use Asterisk to build your IP-PBX/Voicemail system
RoHS compliant
Certificates: CE, FCC
2. What is Asterisk:
The Definition of Asterisk is described as follow:
Asterisk is a complete PBX in software. It runs on Linux, BSD,Windows (emulated) and provides all of the features you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk does voice over IP in four protocols, and can interoperate with almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive hardware. Asterisk provides:
1) Voicemail services with Directory
2) Call Conferencing
3) Interactive Voice Response
4) Call Queuing
5) Three-way calling
6) Caller ID services
7) Support ADSI, IAX, SIP, H.323, MGCP and SCCP/Skinny
Misc:
1) Temperature Operation: 0 to 50°C
2) Temperature Storage: - 40 to 125°C
3) Humidity:10 TO 90% NON-CONDENSING
4) Voltage:3.3V/5V
5) Power Dissipation Max:0.13W/0.05W
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Setup
Please refer jumper setting for details. The default setting is TE mode. To install B100M, user should follow the steps.
A. Adjusting Termination of S/T Interface (100 ohm)
1) If a port will work on NT mode, you should set jumper (SW1) to CONNECT (ON) and adjust the jumper (SW2) to NT position. Please check the jumper setting in chapter 3.
2) If a port will work on TE mode, Theoretically it should be to OPEN(OFF), but user might connect to some non-standard isdn terminal equipments that do not have terminal resistors, for such equipments, you should set it to CONNECT(ON).
3) Use the cable to connect B100MM and B100MS. On the B100MS, there is a RJ45 slot. Please connect CON1 on B100MS ans CON2 on B100MM.
The connection should be: Con 1 on B100MS <-> Con 2 on B100MM
B.Power Feeding Connector
These jumpers control whether the card will feed power to the external isdn terminal. User should adjust accordingly.
1) If the port will work on TE mode, user MUST set the jumper (power) to OPEN(OFF)
2) If this port will work on NT mode, the ISDN terminal requires ISDN power supply; user should set the jumper (power) to CONNECT (ON). ISDN terminal does not require ISDN power supply, user should set the jumper to OPEN(OFF).
3) Power Feeding Input
If the power feeding connector is CONNECT(ON), plug in the DC input power supply that can provide 34-42 V power supply. Please refer the hardware setting section. You also can use PFM100 to convert the power supply for NT mode. For more information about PFM100, please check from OpenVox website.
4) PCM IN/PCM OUT
These are for future usages.
1.2 Power off PC, remembering unplug the AC power cable
1.3 Insert B100M into a mini PCI slot
1.4 Plug the power supply cable to power feeding input jack if need providing power to external equipment, please refer jumper setting section in
chapter 3 for the detail
1.5 Plug back the AC power cable, and power on PC
Chapter 3 Software Installation and Configuration
1) check the hardware detection by : lspci -vvvvvvvvvvvv
User should see the device inforamtion, if user can not see that, please
swap to other slots to try.
2) Checking the supporting packages
Note that if there is no kernel source in the system, user should install them. User can run yum again: yum install kernel-devel. It is time to check for the availability of some other packages:
rpm -q bison rpm -q bison-devel rpm -q ncurses rpm -q ncurses-devel rpm -q zlib rpm -q zlib-devel rpm -q openssl rpm -q openssl-devel rpm -q gnutls-devel rpm -q gcc rpm -q gcc-c++
If any of those packages is not installed, please install those packages by using yum
yum install bison yum install bison-devel yum install ncurses yum install ncurses-devel yum install zlib yum install zlib-devel yum install openssl yum install openssl-devel yum install gnutls-devel yum install gcc yum install gcc-c++
3) Downloading, unzipping and compiling driver
There are few steps to install the driver.
A. Download the stable version of mISDN, mISDNuser from http://www.misdn.org/index.php/Installing_mISDN, and copy the tar file to /usr/src/. Here，we are using mISDN-1_1_7 and mISDNuser_1_1_7. Users can get more details from mISDN.org.
Download asterisk from http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/, and copy the tar file to /usr/src. Here, we are using asterisk 1.4.11
B. Make links with kernel source:
ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.el5-i686/ /usr/src/linux-2.6
Here, under /usr/src there is kernel source, user must create link linux-2.6 under /usr/src/. There are many files under /usr/src/
C. Compiling mISDN, mISDNuser and asterisk
cd /usr/src/mISDN-1_1_X make make install cd /usr/src/mISDNuser-1_1_X make make install cd /usr/src/asterisk-1.4.XX ./configure make menuselect Now you should enable chan_misdn in the Channel Driver Section and reinstall asterisk with "make install".
After that procedure you should have the current mISDN releases installed and the current chan_misdn with asterisk.
D.Loading modules for mISDN User can run following commands under /usr/sbin:
./mISDN scan // detect Cards ./mISDN config // set configuration files under /etc/mISDN.conf ./mISDN start // start the drivers.
edit /etc/asterisk/misdn.conf to set a call routing.
create a simple dialplan in extentions.conf.And please be noted the defination of /etc/asterisk/misdn.conf
run: asterisk –vvvvvvvgc to start up asterisk server.
under asterisk console, run: misdn show stacks.
if you can see the ports with active and up status, you will able to make calls.
Otherwise, please check the setting files and physical connections.
Notes: Test environments: OS: Centos 5 Kernel version: 2.6.18-8.15 Asterisk version: Asterisk-1.4.11 mISDN version: mISDN-1_1_7 Hardware：OpenVox B100M
Status of LEDs : 1) LEDs will turn into red and blink if the drivers are loaded. 2) When a call is established, the LED will be turned into green status. 3) If ISDN cable plugs into the port, the LED will not blink, but in red color.
