Sangoma Production Test (aft_prod)

 

 

The Sangoma AFT production test (aft_prod) is used to fully test and update any card in the AFT (Advance Flexible Telecommunications) product line. The automated test confirms that all aspects of the card are working properly by passing data or audio from software to the hardware to a physical loop-back, back into hardware and up to software. The test can also be used to automatically updated AFT cards with the latest firmware.

Aft_prod is a complete test suite including a specific Wanpipe driver version. All the releases of Aft-prod are thoroughly regression test before being released, please report any issues or problems to: konrad@sangoma.com

Installation

Download the latest version of the Aft-prod test and associated Wanpipe drivers: aft_prod-r167.tgz 

Download the latest ISO version of Aft-prod running on top of Linux From Scratch: Sangoma-Aft-Prod-05-13-09.iso

NOTE: Aft-prod uses Zaptel for some of the tests...you must have a symbolic link at /usr/src/zaptel that points to your Zaptel source files.
Sangoma recommends using Zaptel-1.4.11...you can dowload this version from here.

  1. Save the archive to the location of your choice...Sangoma recommends /usr/src/
  2. Un-archive the source files.

    -> tar -xfz aft_prod-<version>.tgz

  3. Enter the newly created directory.
  4. Run the "Setup" script to have Aft-prod and all of it's components (including the Wanpipe drivers) installed automatically

    -> ./Setup

The Setup script will now install the Wanpipe source files, the Aft_prod utility scripts, the latest firmware files, and finally the Aft_prod application.

You will notice that the Setup script creates a new folder "/afirmware", this folder contains the test itself, the firmware files, and scipts used by the test.
Do not delete any files from this folder!

Aft-prod is run using scripts which are installed to /usr/sbin so that they can be run from anywhere in the linux command line.
