Test environments
CentOS-5.6 Kernel version: 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 DAHDI: dahdi-linux-complete-2.3.0.1+2.3.0 Asterisk: 1.6.2.16.1 Hardware: OpenVox A400P/A400E

1. Overview
1.1 What is A400P/A400E
A400P/A400E is a modular analog telephony interface product. It is designed to be hardware compatible with Digiums TDM400p. A400P/A400E must be made up with FXO-100 or FXS-100 together to build a workable system. The FXO-100 and FXS-100 modules are also pin to pin compatible with Digiums X100M and S100M. Key Benefits: Scalable: just add additional cards to extend system Support PCI for A400P and PCI Express for A400E Be easy to use: full software and hardware compatible with Digium's TDM400P. User can use Diguim's X100M/S100M module on this card, or use our FXO-100/ FXS-100 Module on TDM400P RoHS Compliant Certifications: A-Tick, CE and FCC Trixbox & Elastix Officially Certified

2. Compile Note that if there is no kernel source in the system, user should install them. User can run yum like: yum install kernel-devel. It is time to check for the availability of some other packages: # # # # # # # # # # # yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum install install install install install install install install install install install bison bison-devel ncurses ncurses-devel zlib zlib-devel openssl openssl-devel gnutls-devel gcc gcc-c++

If any of those packages is installed, system indicates nothing to do.

Change directory to dahdi-linux-complete-XX, perform command below one by one. # # # # cd /usr/src/dahdi-linux-complete-XX make make install make config

If there is something wrong after make, please refer to http://bbs.openvox.cn/viewthread.php?tid=1557&extra=page%3D1 Then run make again, if successfully, you are going to install asterisk next.

3.3 Configuration
1. After compile and install dahdi and asterisk, please run: # dahdi_genconf If there is any error, please trace the cause. Until without any errors are displayed, you could execute dahdi_genconf again, then go to next step. By running dahdi_genconf, it will generate /etc/dahdi/system.conf and etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf. Check automatically generated files information is agree with your hardware setup, if not, you should modify to your requirements. Confirm dahdi-channels.conf is included in chan_dahdi.conf, otherwise, run command:

# echo "#include dahdi-channels.conf" >>

/etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf FXO ports use FXS signaling, while FXS ports adopt FXO signaling. A part of system.conf, which is the basic channel configuration file, is displayed.

# Span 1: WCTDM/4 "Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F Board 5" (MASTER) fxsks=1 fxsks=2 fxoks=3 fxoks=4 # Global data loadzone defaultzone = us = us

Figure 4 A part of system.conf

In order to match your country pattern, you need to change parameters loadzone and defaultzone to your country. For example, your system is in CHINA, then, you would like them change to: loadzone = cn defaultzone = cn Meanwhile, you also need to modify another parameter, which is in file /etc/asterisk/indications.conf:

Start asterisk by executing command: # asterisk -vvvvvvvvvgc If asterisk is already activate, run asterisk r instead. localhost*CLI> dahdi show channels If dahdi channels are found, it means dahdi channels have been loaded into asterisk. 4. Edit dialplan Users must make sure that the context from-pstn and from-internal are in extensions.conf, here an example is given: # vim /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
[from-pstn] exten => s,1,Answer() // answer an inbound call Exten => s,n,Playback(cc_welcome) 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

After saving your dialplan, please run asterisk r, then execute reload in the CLI. Next you are able to make calls.
