Wanpipe configuration for wpchan
wpchan (wanpipe channel) runs on top of the wanpipe API!
B Channels run over Transparent (Bitstream,ulaw,alaw) Mode
D Channels run over Hardware HDCL Mode
Wanpipe E1 PRI Configuration
DChan = channel 16
BChan = channels 1 to 15 and 17 to 31
Run wanpipe configuration utility:
#>/usr/sbin/wancfg
Hardware Setup (AFT):
Select Hardware: Specify AFT card from hardware probe.
After hardware probe, wancfg screen should show you:
(in case of A104 card)
----------------------------
Card Type-------> A104
Physical Medium-> E1
----------------------------
Specify Line Type: E1
Select Advanced Timeslot Groups Configuration
Set the number of Timeslot Groups to 2.
(one for Dchan and one for Bchan)
(d-channel must be assigned to group 1)
(b-channels must be assigned to group 2)
Select TimeSlot Group 1
Configure Timeslots in Group -> 16
Note: A bug exists on some versions after you select timeslot group the wancfg sends to back to the Advanced Timslot Group Menu.
Timeslot Group 1 Config should look like
--------------------------------------------------
Timeslots in Group-> 16
HDLC Engine --------> Enabled
Idle Char -------------> 0x7E
MTU ------------------> 1500
MRU ------------------> 1500
---------------------------------------------------
(Leave all other options default and select <Back>)
Select TimeSlot Group 2
Configure Timeslots in Group -> 1.15-17.31
(If you get back to the Advanced Timeslot Group Section go back into Timeslot Group 2)
Specify MTU and MRU values. They should be the same.
MTU/MRU values indicate the Rx/Tx CHUNK Size.
To calculate MTU/MRU multiply your desired CHUNK size by the number of active channels.
eg: 30 channels * 40bytes (which is 5ms voice chunk) = 1200 bytes.
By default set the MTU/MRU values to 1200 if you have 30 voice channels.
Configure HDLC Engine to Disable
(HDLC engine -> Disabled)
We must do this step because bchannes carry voice not hdlc frames.
Timeslot Group 2 Config should look like
--------------------------------------------------
Timeslots in Group-> 1-15.17-31
HDLC Engine --------> Disabled
Idle Char -------------> 0x7E
MTU ------------------> 1200
MRU ------------------> 1200
---------------------------------------------------
Your screen should look like this for E1:
--------------------------------------------------
Number of Timeslot Groups ----->2
Timeslot Group 1 configuration -> 16
Timeslot Group 2 configuration -> 1-15.17-31
---------------------------------------------------
Timeslot Groups configuration is complete: Select <BACK>
Default configuration is complete: Select <BACK>
Protocol and Interface Setup:
Select Timeslot group 1 (for the d-channel)

Select <BACK>
Select <BACK>
Select Timeslot group 2 (for the b-channels)
Set protocol to HDLC Streaming
Go to interface setup
Set Operation Mode to: API
Go to Advanced Options
Set HDLC engine to disabled
Set TDMV_HWEC to YES (for hw echo cancellation)
Select <BACK>
Select <BACK>
Exit and Save configuration file.
Wanpipe T1 PRI Configuration
DChan = channel 24
BChan = channels 1 to 23
Run wanpipe configuration utility:
#>/usr/sbin/wancfg
Hardware Setup (AFT):
Select Hardware: Specify AFT card from hardware probe.
After hardware probe, wancfg screen should show you:
(in case of A104 card)
----------------------------

----------------------------
Specify Line Type: T1
Select Advanced Timeslot Groups Configuration
Set the number of Timeslot Groups to 2.
(one for Dchan and one for Bchan)
(d-channel must be assigned to group 1)
(b-channels must be assigned to group 2)
Select TimeSlot Group 1
Configure Timeslots in Group -> 24
Note: A bug exists on some versions after you select timeslot group the wancfg sends to back to the Advanced Timslot Group Menu.

Wanpipe Hardware Echo Chancellation Setup
In order to enable hardware echo cancellation on Yate B-Channels you have to manually run wan_ec_client command after wanrouter start. Fortunately wanrouter has external shell scripts that it executes after wanrouter start/stop so you could add wan_ec_client commands to wanrouter startup scripts to automate the process.
To Enable hwec:
wan_ec_client wanpipe1 enable 1-15.17-31
To Desable hwec:
wan_ec_client wanpipe1 disable 1-15.17-31
To automate this step add the start script into the /etc/wanpipe/scripts directory.
(This script will run after wanrouter start)
/etc/wanpipe/scripts/start
--------- CUT ----------
#!/bin/sh
#Ony enable hwec on B-Channels not the D-Channels
wan_ec_client wanpipe1 enable 1-15.17-31
wan_ec_client wanpipe2 enable 1-15.17-31 #Add wan_ec_client calls for each wanpipe device
--------- CUT -----------
To stop all hw echo cancellers on wanrouter stop add this script into /etc/wanpipe/scripts directory.
/etc/wanpipe/scripts/stop
--------- CUT ----------
#!/bin/sh
wan_ec_client wanpipe1 disable 1-15.17-31
wan_ec_client wanpipe2 disable 1-15.17-31
#Add wan_ec_client calls for each wanpipe device
--------- CUT -----------
To check if hwec is enabled on a single span run:
wanpipemon -i w1g1 -c ehw
Yate PRI Configuration
