(Note, the following instructions has been written for zaptel. However, the cards also work for dahdi.Here is the link for dahdi installation: driver installation with dahdi)
- Untar wanpipe release in arbitrary directory (/usr/src/ is recommended).
#>tar xvfz wanpipe-<version>.tgz
After untarring WANPIPE®, the wanpipe<version>/ directory will be created.
#>cd wanpipe-<version> - Run ./Setup install from the newly created wanpipe-<version> directory
#>./Setup install
Proceed with installation Select "Y" for each option.
Under compilation mode: Select "TDM Only drivers" (Option #2).
Setup will ask you for location of zaptel sources?
[By default Setup will look in /usr/src/zaptel]
Zaptel 1.4 -> wanpipe drivers use zaptel supported hwdchan so no patching is needed.
Zaptel does not need to be recompiled
Zpatel 1.2-> Setup will ask you if you would like to add support for Sangoma HW HDLC DCHAN PRI to Zaptel.
"Enable TDMV DCHAN Native HDLC Support & Patch Zaptel ? (y/n)"
Select "Y" to Enable HW HDLC on DCHAN PRI in Zaptel.
Setup will ask you if you would like to recompile/reinstall Zaptel.
"Recompile/reinstall zaptel (recommended) ? (y/n) "
Select "Y" to recompile/reinstall Zaptel - Proceed with Defaults for the rest of the compilation.
- Last step in installation will ask you to configure wanpipe cards for Zaptel
-> Proceed with YES this is your initial installation
-> Note wancfg_zaptel will overwrite your zaptel.conf and zapata.conf files and save the originals as zaptel.conf.bak and zapata.conf.bak
-> The configuration process continues on Configuration Section
