B400P user manual
Chapter 1 Overview
1. What is B400P
B400P series is a PCI 2.2 compliant card supporting 4 BRI S/T interfaces, with an onboard multi NT power feeding circuit. NT/TE mode can be independently configured on each of the 4 ports.
B400P 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/Four 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) Each port can be independently configured for TE or NT mode
9)Full software and hardware compatible with bristuff and mISDN driver
Application ready: use Asterisk to build your IP-PBX/Voicemail system
RoHS compliant
Certificates: CE, FCC
Misc
1) Temperature Operation: 0 to 50°C
2) Temperature Storage: - 40 to 125°C

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 check jumper setting for details. To install B400P, user should
follow these steps:
A. Setting Card ID Switch
If user wants to install more than one cards of B400P in one
pc, you should take care of the card id switch. It has three rules,
which user must follow:
1. The card id of the first card must be set to 0, and the second card
should be set to 1, and so on.
2. The First Card is a card that will be initialized (i.e installing
driver) first when system is booting.
3. At most of cases, Linux will initialize PCI devices according to
PCI slot order. The slot is nearest to the CPU will be initialized
first; the slot at the far end from CPU will be initialized at last.
That is to say, if user has more than one cards of B400P in pc, the one is nearest to CPU should be set to card id 0.
B. Adjusting Termination of S/T Interface (100 ohm)
1. If a port will work on NT mode, you should set jumper to CONNECT
(ON).
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).
C. 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 to
OPEN(OFF)
2) If this port will work on NT mode, the ISDN terminal requires
ISDN power supply, user should set the jumper to CONNECT(ON).
ISDN terminal does not require ISDN power supply, user should
set the jumper to OPEN(OFF).
D. Power Feeding Input
if user sets one of ports is NT mode, please plug in the power supply cable.
chapter 3 Software Configuration and configuration
B400P supports original Bristuff driver from junghanns.net. Customers can download it from http://www.junghanns.net/. There are few steps to install the driver.
1) Checking the B400P hardware by command: lspci -vvvvvvvvv
You can see the 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 pci 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,please 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++
1. Download OpenVox patch called qozap.c from www.openvox.com.cn.
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
2. 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/bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j
3. Compiling Bristuff
cd /usr/src/usr/src/bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j chmod 777 install.sh ./install.sh
overwrite the orginal qozap.c file with the new qozap.c under /usr/src/bristuff-<version>/qozap.
run ./compile.sh to recompile all packages.
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.
4. Modifying and loading modules for zaptel and qozap
vi /etc/zaptel.conf, and edit the zaptel.conf like this:
loadzone=nl defaultzone=nl # qozap span definitions # most of the values should be bogus because we are not really zaptel span=1,1,3,ccs,ami span=2,2,3,ccs,ami span=3,3,3,ccs,ami span=4,4,3,ccs,ami bchan=1,2 dchan=3 bchan=4,5 dchan=6 bchan=7,8 dchan=9 bchan=10,11 dchan=12
cd /usr/src/bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j/qozap modprobe zaptel modprobe qozap.ko (for kernel 2.6.o) ztcfg –vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
5. If user wants to modify the call rules, edit zapata.conf file under
/etc/asterisk
asterisk –vvvvvvvvvvgc zap show channels // there must be some channels.
Notes: Test environments: OS: Centos 5 Kernel version: 2.6.18-8.15 Bristuff version: bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j Hardware：OpenVox B400P
