Trixbox Installation with Dahdi Support

    1) Make sure to have all the package requirements installed: 
    -> http://wiki.sangoma.com/Package-requirements

    2) Retrieve the version of dahdi currently installed on your system

    Type the following command on your Linux CLI:

    -> rpm -qa | grep dahdi 

    The following is an example output of the above command (the output on your system might display varying results):   

    dahdi-2.3.0.1-3_trixbox
    dahdi-modules-2.3.0.1-3_trixbox.2.6.18_128.1.10.el5

    The dahdi version is 2.3.0.1 in the above example, it is not 2.3.0.1-3 because the "-3" is a Trixbox version and we are just concerned about the dahdi version.

    3) Download the source for the dahdi version found on your system

    -> Go to the following website and search for your dahdi version:

    -> http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux/releases

    -> Our search results using the above example would find dahdi-linux-2.3.0.1.tar.gz

    -> In the location of your choice (typically /usr/src/) download the release:

    -> wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux/releases/dahdi-linux-2.3.0.1.tar.gz  *NOTE: the dahdi version will vary

    4) untar and install dahdi

    -> tar xvfz dahdi-<version>.tar.gz
    -> cd dahdi-<version>
    -> make
    -> make install
    -> make config 

    5) Download the Wanpipe Voicetime Driver

    Untar and change directory:
    -> tar xfz wanpipe-voicetime-<ver>.tgz

    -> cd wanpipe-voicetime-<ver>

    7) Build Wanpipe VoiceTime for Currently Running dahdi Module

    -> make DAHDI_DIR=/usr/src/dahdi-linux-<ver>/linux

     DAHDI_DIR= location of dahdi source used to build and install dahdi module
                    By default DAHDI_DIR=/usr/src/dahdi

    8) Install VoiceTime module into current system

    -> make install  

    9) Install bootup startup script for VoiceTime

    -> make boot

    The wanpipe_voicetime uses /etc/init.d/dahdi script. The dahdi startup script must be installed
    eg: cd /usr/src/dahdi-<version>
          make        #build dahdi
          make install    #install dahdi modules
          make config        #install dahdi boot script    

    10) Start Wanpipe VoiceTime using dahdi Startup Script

    -> /etc/init.d/dahdi start  

    11) Confirm that VoiceTime Sync Tool is working
