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) ADSI, IAX, SIP, H.323, MGCP and SCCP/Skinny

Chapter 2 Card Installation and Configuration

1. 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).

2. Software Installation and Setup B100P supports original Bristuff driver from junghanns.net. Customers can download it from http://www.junghanns.net/. There are few steps to install the driver drivers.

1) Checking the B100M hardware by command: lspci -vvvvvvvvv
You can see information like this:

ISDN controller: Cologne Chip Designs GmbH ISDN network Controller [HFC-4S] (rev 01)

If the card can't be detected, please change another slot to try.

Note that if there is no kernel source in the system, user should install them. User can run yum again: yum install kernel-devel`. If user runs this command yum will install the sources for your current version of the kernel.

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 are not installed install them 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++

Downloading, unzipping and compiling driver
A. Download the stable version of bristuff drivers from http://www.junghanns.net/, and copy the tar file to /usr/src/:
cp bristuff-<version>.tar.gz /usr/src
cd /usr/src/
tar -xvzf bristuff-<version>.tar.gz

B. Make links with kernel source:
ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586 /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/bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j,

C. Compiling Bristuff

cd /usr/src/bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j
chmod 777 install.sh
./install.sh

Above steps will install zaptel, libpri and asterisk. After finishing the three steps, under asterisk directory, running make samples if user install asterisk for first time.

D. Modifying and loading modules for zaptel.conf and zapata.conf vi /etc/zaptel.conf, and edit the zaptel.conf like this:

loadzone=nl
defaultzone=nl
span=1,1,3,ccs,ami
bchan=1,2
dchan=3

cd /usr/src/bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j/zaphfc
make load  // if load NT mode, please run: make loadNT
ztcfg –vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
dmesg

E. If user wants to modify the call rules, edit zapata.conf and extensions.conf file under /etc/asterisk.
F. Start running asterisk:

asterisk –vvvvvvvvvvgc
zap show channels
