I am about to start my first Asterisk installation and will only
be using IP phones (either Snom's or Aastra's), I have a local voip
Supplier provisioning 1/2 a dozen did's for me. I am hoping to set this
up inside Xen on a CentOS pv guest. I understand from reading old posts
since I am not needing any hardware peripheral cards that this should be
acceptable. Can I omit the Zaptel and Libpri portions of the install
in lieu of not needing the hardware support?

Thanks!

Sure if you don't need ztdummy, or is there a newfangled way around that?

Thanks,

Correct.

But you will need ztdummy if you want to use MeetMe() conferencing,
which is part of zaptel. However, libpri would still not be required.

If you don't care about conferencing, no zaptel needed.

Hi Steve,
I read the wiki and see this provides "timing" for Asterisk. Can you point
me toward a description of what exactly this does? I was checking out the
tutorial at http://www.hotbutteredit.com/video/voip/asterisk/asterisk_install.htm
and noticed they never compiled either this or the Libpri which is what prompted
me to assume I may not need it in my scenario.

Appreciate the help!

And MOH?

sorry for responding to a question not addressed to me,

you need ztdummy for timing and you need zaptel for ztdummy,
no other way around,
in some systems that may be not enough and you'll ever need an analog
card,

I thought that the point that you had to have "a" timing source for *.
That source could be the "clock" off the T-1.
But if you didn't have something like your T1 to provide master clocking
ztdummy was "something" to provide the required "a source for timing".

You don't "need" it except for a few applications such as meetme and IAX2..

I have come to always put some sort of timing hardware in a system
because ztdummy can be flaky under high use. A TDM400P with and FXS
module is usually what I suggest for fax, emergency phone, or whatever
else. It works great.

The timing thing is a common misconception and understandably so
because of the same naming. There are two different types of timing.
One is RTP (I think) and the other is the PSTN T1 timing you refer to.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
