To download

 -> Copy the URL of the Wanpipe RPM download link from the chart above, then run "wget URL"  in the linux command line.

         ex. wget <wanpipe RPM download URL>
                                      

To install

-> run the "rpm -i" command with the RPM: 

         ex. rpm -i <wanpipe-version.rpm>

              
To verify

that driver has been installed run the command:
        #> wanrouter hwprobe verbose

The output should show something similar to the one below (different output for different cards)
-----------------------------------------
| Wanpipe Hardware Probe Info (verbose) |
-----------------------------------------
1 . AFT-A200-SH : SLOT=4 : BUS=5 : IRQ=169 : CPU=A : PORT=PRI : HWEC=32 : V=12
+01:FXO: PCIe: PLX1
+02:FXO: PCIe: PLX1
+03:FXS: PCIe: PLX1
+04:FXS: PCIe: PLX1

If you have any issues with the above command, please contact techdesk@sangoma.com

Configuring the Sangoma Card

1. Run the configuration script: setup-sangoma
   
       The above script creates configuration files for:
        -> Dahdi
        -> Wanpipe in /etc/wanpipe
   
   

   Note: BRI is now integrated into Dahdi (Wanpipe 3.5.21 and newer) If using Trixbox 2.6.2.3 and below with BRI you MUST use 'setup-sangoma smg'

   
       
   
   -> Proceed to the Operation section

SOURCE INSTALLATION

You must install the Wanpipe driver from source if your Trixbox system does not have the correct RPM requirements (kernel, dahdi, asterisk versions) as listed above.  The instructions below describe how to install the Wanpipe driver from source, which entail:

-> Downloading the source for dahdi/zaptel currently installed on your system
-> compiling the source Wanpipe driver against the dahdi/zaptel sources

Requirements

Please run the follow commands to install the required packages needed for compiling wanpipe drivers from source:

• yum -y install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) libtool* gcc patch perl bison gcc-c++ ncurses-devel flex libtermcap-devel autoconf* automake*

Dahdi/Zaptel Download and Compile

The first step is to identify the version of Dahdi/Zaptel currently installed on the system:

Dahdi Steps (click HERE for Zaptel Steps):

1) 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.

2) 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-complete/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

3) untar and compile dahdi

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

4) The compiling is done, if there is any errors please contact techdesk@sangoma.com

Zaptel Version

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

1) 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.

2) 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

3) untar and install zaptel

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

4) The compiling is done, if there is any errors please contact techdesk@sangoma.com

Asterisk Download and Compile
DEPRECATED
*Note: This step is only required when using BRI Cards (A500/B700) with Wanpipe Driver 3.5.20 and below
BRI is now integrated into Dahdi in Wanpipe 3.5.21 and above (this step not required)

FOR TRIXBOX 2.6.2.3
1. Find the version of Asterisk Currently installed:
       #> asterisk -V
2. Go to http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases/ and search for your Asterisk version. If you have Asterisk 1.4.22 then the URL will be http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases/asterisk-1.4.22.tar.gz
3. Once you have the URL run the commands:
          #> cd /usr/src/
                 and then
          #> wget X with X being the URL
    Once the download is complete run the command "
          #>tar xfz asterisk-<version>.tar.gz
                and then
          #> cd asterisk-<version>
4. Once you are in the Asterisk source run the command
          #> ./configure; make
    this will configure and build the source.

FOR TRIXBOX 2.8.0.3 and UP

 

1. First thing to do is find out your Asterisk version with the command:
          #> asterisk -V
2. Go to "http://yum.trixbox.org/trixbox/2.8/RPMS/repodata/repoview/A.group.html" and find the "asterisk-16-devel-<ver>" package.
3. Once you have the URL run the commands:
          #> cd /usr/src/
                 and then
          #> wget X with X being the URL
    Once the download is complete run the command "
          #>tar xfz asterisk-<version>.tar.gz
                and then
          #> cd asterisk-<version>
4. Once you are in the Asterisk source run the command
          #> ./configure; make
    this will configure and build the source

---

Wanpipe Driver Download and Install

1. Download the lastest Wanpipe Driver: Wanpipe Driver
2. Untar wanpipe release in arbitrary directory (/usr/src/ is recommended).
   #> tar xvfz wanpipe-<version>.tgz
   #> cd wanpipe-<version>
   
   Verifyasterisk and zaptel/dahdi are shutdown by using the commands:
   Zaptel method (Trixbox 2.6.2.3)
   #> amportal stop
   #> service zaptel stop
   
   Dahdi method (Trixbox 2.8.0.3 and up)
   #> asterisk -rx "stop now"
   #> service dahdi stop
   ------------
   
3. Install the Wanpipe Driver:
       #>./Setup install  
   Proceed with installation Select "Y" for each option.f
   
   Setup will ask you which compilation method you would like to choose to install the driver:
   - For all PRI/BRI/ANALOG cards, choose Option 2
   
                  Setup will try to auto-detect dahdi sources in /usr/src directory
                  [By default Setup will look in /usr/src]  
   
   

   Note: if you are running a production environment with BRI and Wanpipe using the deprecated smg daemon and wish to continue using it, you must choose Option 6/7

   
   ---
4. Proceed with Defaults for the rest of the compilation.   
   --
5. Last step in installation will ask you to configure the Sangoma card(s) for Dahdi/Zaptel/
   If any errors are encountered during the compilation of the utilities, click here for assistance.

Confirm Successful Wanpipe/Dahdi Installation
Confirm successful Wanpipe/Dahdi installation run:
             #> wanrouter hwprobe
This command will load the wanpipe and Dahdi modules and will print out list of all Sangoma hardware installed on the system.

---

1. Run the configuration script:
   -> type: setup-sangoma
   
   The above script creates configuration files for:
   -> Dahdi/Zaptel
   -> Wanpipe in /etc/wanpipe
   
   

   Note: BRI is now integrated into Dahdi (Wanpipe 3.5.21 and newer) If using Trixbox 2.6.2.3 and below with BRI you MUST use 'setup-sangoma smg' to use smg daemon

 

---

 

 

Operation

To Start Wanpipe, Dahdi/zaptel and Asterisk, follow the steps below:

1. start Wanpipe Ports
   -> wanrouter start
          - Check /var/log/messages for info or errors
   ---
2. Configure DAHDI/ZAPTEL module
   -> dahdi_cfg -vvv  (dahdi)
   or
   -> ztcfg -vvv  (zaptel)
   
   *Note: this step is taken care of if you have chosen to perform dahdi_cfg automatically
             during 'setup-sangoma' 
         ---
3.  start Asterisk
   -> amportal start -> asterisk -r
   
   
   To stop the Wanpipe driver at any time, you must stop Asterisk first:
   1-> amportal stop
   2-> wanrouter stop
   
   If using DEPRECATED BRI smg Installation you will need to add a "custom" trunk to dial out. If you go to http://wiki.sangoma.com/WoomeraFreepbx this details how to do this with Freepbx which is essentially the same as Trixbox.
