OpenVox A1200P/A800P + Dahdi(NEW!!)

hello, all of users:
we releases a1200p/a800p to support Dahdi. users can download that from the A1200P/A800P category from our website, please rename back to opvxa1200.c after put into the source directory. Please keep in mind that, if you want to test dahdi or play the new features, the version of dahdi should be ok. if you want to put it in to a production environment, we do not recommend to do that. Do not task a risk! because the version of Dahdi is not a stable version, and still in testing. To install a1200p/a800p with dahdi, install some support packages as zaptel requires, then please go through these steps:
Step 1) get dahdi-linux, dahdi-tools and asterisk
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/releases/asterisk-1.6.0.1.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux/dahdi-linux-2.0.0.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/dahdi-tools/dahdi-tools-2.0.0.tar.gz
please unzip and cpoy those files to /usr/src/dahdi/dahdi-com(please note that this my dir, you can set to /usr/src)

Step 2) cd /usr/src/dahdi/dahdi-com/dahdi-linux-2.0.0/drivers/dahdi
open Kbuild file and add the one line like this:
=====================================
obj-$(DAHDI_BUILD_ALL)$(CONFIG_DAHDI_WCT4XXP) += wct4xxp/
obj-$(DAHDI_BUILD_ALL)$(CONFIG_DAHDI_WCTC4XXP) += wctc4xxp/
obj-$(DAHDI_BUILD_ALL)$(CONFIG_DAHDI_WCTDM24XXP) += wctdm24xxp/
obj-$(DAHDI_BUILD_ALL)$(CONFIG_DAHDI_WCTE12XP) += wcte12xp/
obj-$(DAHDI_BUILD_ALL)$(CONFIG_DAHDI_WCTDM) += wctdm.o
obj-$(DAHDI_BUILD_ALL)$(CONFIG_DAHDI_WCTDM) += opvxa1200.o
// this is for a1200/a800p
obj-$(DAHDI_BUILD_ALL)$(CONFIG_DAHDI_WCT1XXP) += wct1xxp.o
obj-$(DAHDI_BUILD_ALL)$(CONFIG_DAHDI_WCTE11XP) += wcte11xp.o
==========================================
after edit the file, please download the opvxa1200.c from http://downloads.openvox.cn/pub/drivers/dahdi/a800p_a1200p/opvxa1200.c and copy to the directory.
Step 3) please change back to /usr/src/dahdi/dahdi-com/dahdi-linux-2.0.0
run: make, make install
Step 4) change the directory to /usr/src/dahdi/dahdi-com/dahdi-tools-2.0.0
run: make, make install
Step 5) change to asterisk directory, in my case is /usr/src/dahdi/asterisk-1.6
5.1) ./configure
5.2) make
5.3) make install
5.4) make samples
Step 6) please edit the dahdi files
6.1) edit the system.conf under /etc/dahdi, some files are there:
[root@new-host-8 asterisk-1.6]# cd /etc/dahdi/
[root@new-host-8 dahdi]# ls
init.conf modules system.conf
please keep in mind that the system.conf works as zaptel.conf in zaptel
the part of system.conf will be like this:
# And change channel 2 to use the kb1 echo canceller.
#echocanceller=kb1,2
#
fxsks=1
fxsks=2
fxoks=3-12
6.2) edit the chan.dahdi.conf in /etc/asterisk
the part of chan_dahdi.conf should be like this:
;stripmsd=1
;callerid=asreceived
group=0
signalling=fxs_ks
context=demo
channel => 1
channel => 2
signalling=fxo_ks
context=from-internal
channel => 3-12
the chan_dahdi.conf works as zapata.conf, so do not be confused.
6.3) edit extensions.conf
for incoming line: // for example only
================
[demo]
;
; We start with what to do when a call first comes in.
;
exten => s,1,Wait(1) ; Wait a second, just for fun
exten => s,n,Answer ; Answer the line
exten => s,n,Dial(dahdi/12) // zap has been changed to dahdi
exten => s,n,Hangup
==================
for internal:
===================
[from-internal]
exten => 1,1,Dial(dahdi/8|60|m(default)) // zap has been changed to daidi
exten => 1,2,hangup
exten => 2,1,Dial(dahdi/3|60|m(default)) // zap has been changed to dahdi
exten => 2,n,Hangup
======================
step 7) modprobe dahdi
Step modprobe opvxa1200
Step 9) dahdi_cfg -vvvvvvv // note: ztcfg changes dahdi_cfg. more commands are under /usr/sbin
============result of dahdi_cfg=========
[root@new-host-8 ~]# dahdi_cfg -vvvvvvvv

I've spent some time trying to find why opvxa1200 module is loaded, lspci shows the card, but no spans are detected.

If you suffer from the same thing disable "netjetpci" module in the system. It silently makes this thing happen.

Some other modules could affect "hisax" and "isdn"

The best way to disable this is editting /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and adding those three lines:


blacklist isdn
blacklist hisax
blacklist netjetpci

hello:
yes, it is true.
1) if you have mISDN in your system, you have to remove the netjetpci, otherwise, A1200P/A400P will be conflict with netjetpci. please remove it or when you compile mISDN, do not compile netjetpci.
2) isdn is a module built-in with centos, you can disable it from SERVICE, do not start it up.
thanks indigogrup for your input and sharing.
regards!
