Chapter 2 Card Installation and Configuration

1. Hardware Installation and Setup

Before inserting the D410E card in to PCI-e slot, customer should set the jumpers correctly. Please check:
1) SPAN Type Setup
Jumper P5 can be adjusted for each span at E1 or T1 mode.

2. Software Installation and Setup

D410E supports original dahdi wct4xxp driver. There are few steps to install wct4xxp drivers.

2.2 Checking and Installing the packages

Note:
If there is no kernel source in the system, user should install it. Run command: yum install kernel-devel. If the kernel is smp kernel, please run this command: yum install kernel-smp-devel.

rpm -q kernel-devel
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 missing any package, please install that.

yum install bison
yum install kernel-devel
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++

2.3 Downloading and Compiling libpri,dahdi and asterisk

To make the asterisk and dahdi running, users have to download libpri, please dahdi and asterisk from http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/
Here, assuming that the packages are stored in /usr/src directory. User compile these packages as following in order.

2.3.1 Install libpri:

cd /usr/src/libpri
make clean
make
make install

2.3.2 Install dahdi-linux-complete, go to /usr/src/dahdi-linux-complete-xx, run:

make
make install 
make config

2.3.3 Install asterisk, go to /usr/src/asterisk-1.8.XX, run:

cd /usr/src/asterisk-1.8.XX
./configure
make
make install
make samples 

2.4 Loader driver Load the driver by these commands:

modprobe dahdi  ; load dahdi driver
modprobe wct4xxp opermode=YOUR COUNTRY; load the driver with your country 
dahdi_genconf  ;Generate configure files
dahdi_cfg –vvvv ; start channels

The command dahdi_genconf will automatically generate the /etc/dahdi/system.conf and /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf.
Note: the dahdi-channels.conf should be included in /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf
if not, please run a command to include that file:
echo "#include dahdi-channels.conf" >> /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf

2.5 Configuration

1) The file /etc/dahdi/system.conf should looks like the following:

span=1,1,1,ccs,hdb3
# termtype: te
bchan=1-15,17-31
dchan=16
echocanceller=mg2,1-15,17-31
# Span 2: TE4/0/2 "T4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 2"
span=2,2,1,ccs,hdb3
# termtype: te
bchan=32-46,48-62
dchan=47
echocanceller=mg2,32-46,48-62
# Span 3: TE4/0/3 "T4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 3"
span=3,3,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
# termtype: te
bchan=63-77,79-93
dchan=78
echocanceller=mg2,63-77,79-93
# Span 4: TE4/0/4 "T4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 4"
span=4,4,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
# termtype: te
bchan=94-108,110-124
dchan=109
echocanceller=mg2,94-108,110-124

# Global data
loadzone        = cn
defaultzone     = cn

2) The file dahdi-channels.conf should looks like the following:

group=0,11
context=from-pstn
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling=pri_cpe
channel => 1-15,17-31

group=0,12
context=from-pstn
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling=pri_cpe 
channel => 32-46,48-62

group=0,13
context=from-pstn
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling = pri_cpe
channel => 63-77,79-93

group=0,14
context=from-pstn
switchtype = euroisdn
signalling = pri_cpe
channel => 94-108,110-124

3) edit the dialplan(/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf)

[from-pstn]
exten => s,1,Answer() // answer the inbound call
exten => s,n,Playback(cc_welcome) // please mesaage
exten => s,n,Hangup()

[from-internal]
exten => 200,1,Dial(dahdi/1/outgoing_number) // dial 200 to dialout from dahdi channel 1
exten => 200,2,Hangup

4) Start asterisk by run: asterisk -vvvgc, under asterisk console, run

"dahdi show channels", There should be some channels. if there is no channels, please check the chan_daid.conf, make sure the content in the chan_dahdi.conf is correct.
"pri show spans", make sure that pri is up and active.

If there is no any problem with "dahdi show channels" and "pri show spans", users should be able to make inbound and outbound calls.
