Trixbox Installation with Zaptel Support

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

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


    Type the following command on your Linux CLI:

    -> rpm -qa | grep zaptel 

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

    zaptel-1.4.12.1-1_trixbox
    zaptel-modules-1.4.12.1-1_trixbox.2.6.18_128.1.10.el5

    The Zaptel version is 1.4.12.1 in the aove example, it is not 1.4.12.1-1 because the "-1" is a Trixbox version and we are just concerned about the Zaptel version.

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

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

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

    -> Our search results using the above example would find zaptel-1.4.12.1.tar.gz. 

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

    -> wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/zaptel/releases/zaptel-1.4.12.1.tar.gz   *NOTE: the Zaptel version will vary

    4) untar and install zaptel

    -> tar xvfz zaptel-<version>.tar.gz
    -> cd zaptel-<version>
    -> ./configure
    -> 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 Zaptel Module

    -> make ZAPDIR=/usr/src/zaptel-<version>

    ZAPDIR= location of zaptel source used to build and install zaptel
    By default ZAPDIR=/usr/src/zaptel  

    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/zaptel script. The zaptel startup script must be installed
    eg: cd /usr/src/zaptel-<version>
          make        #build zaptel
          make install    #install zaptel modules
          make config        #install zaptel boot script    

    10) Start Wanpipe VoiceTime using Zaptel Startup Script

    -> /etc/init.d/zaptel start  

    11) Confirm that VoiceTime Sync Tool is working
