2. Wanpipe Driver and PRI Stack Intallation

Introduction

Sangoma Asterisk PRId solution is based on Sangoma's own asterisk module called "chan_woomera".
Sangoma Asterisk PRId does not depend on Zaptel/Dahdi, however it does work along side either
module without any conflicts.

Downloading Asterisk

Go to http://www.asterisk.org/downloads and download Asterisk/Dahdi/LibPRI
(Look for Asterisk downloads  on right-hand side) .
You can use wget command to download sources (tar ball) on your local directory.

For example:
#> wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux-complete/dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz
#> wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libpri/libpri-1.4-current.tar.gz
#> wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-1.6.1-current.tar.gz
 

Installing Asterisk/Dahdi/

1. Dahdi Installation
    
   Download Dahdi into arbitrary directory (/usr/src) and  untar it.
   

   #>tar xvfz dahdi-linux-<version>
   #>tar xvfz dahdi-tools-<version>

   #>ln -s dahdi-linux-<version> dahdi
   #>cd dahdi-linux-<version>
   #>make
   #>make install
   #>cd ..
   #>cd dahdi-tools-<version>
   #>./configure
   #>make
   #>make install
   

2. LibPRI Installation
   Its not necessary because all PRI calls will be handled by sangoma_prid and asterisk chan_woomera.
    
   
3. Asterisk Installation
   
   If you are upgrading Asterisk make sure that old asterisk modules are removed from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
   

   #> cd /usr/lib/asterisk
   #> mv modules modules.old
   

   Download Asterisk into arbirary directory  (/usr/src/) and untar it.
   Untar Asterisk and proceed with installation

   #>tar xvfz asterisk-<version>.tgz
   #>cd asterisk-<version>
   #>./configure     
   #>make
   #>make install
   #>make samples (in case of very first install)

Please note: <version> refers to the specific release of your program. For instance, dahdi-linux-2.0.0.tar.gz, once untarred will create the folder dahdi-linux-2.0.0.
  
Once Dahdi, Libpri and Asterisk are downloaded and untarred, you may proceed with WANPIPE® installation.

After completing the WANPIPE® TDM installation, you may proceed to configuring the full Asterisk suite.

Download Wanpipe drivers

The latest version of Wanpipe 3.5 drivers or above drivers [link].

#>cd wanpipe-<version>
