Quoting Jaap Winius <jwinius at umrk.to>:

Quote:
Has anyone been able to get ISDN-BRI support to work reliably on
Asterisk 1.4? If so, I'd love to know how you did it (hardware, distro,
kernel, modules, versions, config files).

Thanks to the support I received here I now have a working system, so
I thought I'd show my appreciation by posting my configuration here
for anyone who's interested.

Telco: KPN Telecom (Netherlands)

ISDN hardware: HFC-S PCI card (Cologne chip).

OS: Debian GNU/Linux stable (etch)

Kernel: 2.6.18-5-k7 (for an AMD Athlon CPU)

Relevant links in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://updates.xorcom.com/rapid etch main
deb-src http://updates.xorcom.com/rapid etch main
Relevant installed debian packages:

asterisk 1.4.14~dfsg-0.4849
asterisk-config 1.4.14~dfsg-0.4849
asterisk-doc 1.4.14~dfsg-0.4849
asterisk-sounds-main 1.4.14~dfsg-0.4849
zaptel 1.4.7.xpp.r5178-2
zaptel-firmware 1.4.7.xpp.r5178-2
zaptel-modules-2.6.18-5-k7 1.4.7.xpp.r5178-2+2.6.18.dfsg.1-17 *
zaptel-source 1.4.7.xpp.r5178-2

*) Compiled from zaptel-source using the command
"m-a a-i zaptel".

Note: All of these packages are from xorcom.com. Debian etch
provides v1.2 of the Asterisk and Zaptel packages, which I
found to be too problematic.


Relevant loaded modules:

xpp 89088 0
vzaphfc 24984 3
zaptel 185956 10 xpp,vzaphfc
firmware_class 10048 0
crc_ccitt 2560 1 zaptel

Note: The zaptel-modules package includes both the older zaphfc
and the newer vzaphfc modules. If "genzaptelconf -d" is run, both
get loaded, which is confusing at best. Therefore, I opted to
remove the older zaphfc module. I'm not sure the xpp and
firmware_class modules are necessary either: they also get loaded,
but don't seem to cause any trouble. Finally, I've found that the
modules I do need don't work properly unless they get loaded with
the "genzaptelconf -d" command. I guess that it loads them with
some parameters.

/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf:

[trunkgroups]

[channels]
context=isdn-in
language=en
overlapdial=yes
rxwink=300
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=yes
usecallingpres=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
canpark=yes
cancallforward=yes
callreturn=yes
callerid=asreceived
rxgain=4.5
txgain=-3
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
pridialplan=unknown
prilocaldialplan=unknown
nationalprefix=0
internationalprefix=00
echocancel=yes
echotraining=100
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
faxdetect=incoming
immediate=no
group=1
switchtype=euroisdn
signalling=bri_cpe
channel=>1-2

Note: I doubt all of these settings are absolutely necessary,
but this works for me.


Relevant parts of /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf:

[globals]

[general]

[isdn-in]
exten => isdn-in,1,Goto(0715134449,1)
exten => 0031715134449,1,Goto(0715134449,1)
exten => 0715134449,1,Dial(SIP/1000,30)
exten => 0715134449,n,Hangup()

[outgoing]
exten => _003171.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN},,r)

[internal]
exten => 1000,1,Verbose(1|Extension 1000)
exten => 1000,n,Dial(SIP/1000,30)
exten => 1000,n,Hangup()

[phones]
include => internal
include => outgoing

Note: In the dial command, "Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN},,r)", "g1"
corresponds to "group=1" in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf.


/etc/asterisk/indications.conf:

[general]
country=nl

[nl]
description = Netherlands
ringcadence = 1000,4000
dial = 425
busy = 425/500,0/500
ring = 425/1000,0/4000
congestion = 425/250,0/250
callwaiting = 425/500,0/9500
dialrecall = 425/500,0/50
record = 1400/500,0/15000
info = 950/330,1400/330,1800/330,0/1000
stutter = 425/500,0/50


Some diagnostic information:

# cat /proc/zaptel/*

1 ZTHFC1/0/1 Clear (In use)
2 ZTHFC1/0/2 Clear (In use)
3 ZTHFC1/0/3 HDLCFCS (In use)

Note: These channels are "(In use)" because Asterisk is using them.

Comments welcome.
