Make sure you have the latest version of install-ZAPHFC
The version of install-ZAPHFC that ships with TB is old and does not have TB specific code. When you run it for the first time download the new version then exit the script. Then re-run the updated script. If you want to download the script manually, you can get it from here.
You may find these provide some background information.... one, two, three and four
If you have other zap hardware get this running before running install-ZAPHFC. This may require that you leave the HFC hardware out of your system for the initial build (only seen on multi-port cards).
I've added code to install-ZAPHFC (from version 1.1.1.0) which should allow you to run the script on TB without needing any preparation.
Before you run install-ZAPHFC You would still benefit from:
- - Stopping asterisk (amportal stop)
If you have no other zaptel hardware then uncomment the dummy entry.
Then run install-ZAPHFC
If things don't start correctly:
- - Review the log file that is created during the build. You will find this saved as /etc/asterisk/install-zaphfc.log
Run the following from a command prompt:
for PROC in `ls -1 /proc/zaptel/`;do cat /proc/zaptel/$PROC|head -n 1;done
You should see all of the ISDN ports you have connected showing "ACTIVATED".
If they don't check:
- - Your ISDN service is live
Other Notes:
If you are using more than one single port HFC card, it appears safest to build with the Florz's patch especially if you see "empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received " in your logs.
This will mean you will be rolled back to a much earlier version of Asterisk. The safest being to use the tested Florz's build. Note: Florz' has not updated his patch for bristuff-0.3.0 in nearly a year. Please think very carefully before using it. Do not expect it to work well (if at all) with newer versions of zaptel (post 1.2.5).
I've not had any issues that I have not been able to resolve with Tribox and this script. And those issues I have found, or have been reported to me, I've included into the script. If you can't get things stable with Trixbox, then maybe consider using a version of AAH. If you are having a really hard time getting your cards to work then start with AAH 2.8 and build forward.
Add channels to FOP:
While you can use the ISDN ZAP channels in FreePBX without issue, FreePBX does not yet write these channels into the FOP configuration files. To do so edit /var/www/html/panel/op_buttons_custom.cfg and add the following section to it:
[Zap/x]
Position=z
Label="Zap x"
Extension=-1
Icon=3
Panel_Context=default
[Zap/y]
Position=z+1
Label="Zap y"
Extension=-1
Icon=3
Panel_Context=default
Where x & y are the channel numbers for your ISDN card and z is the position number (refer to /var/www/html/panel/op_buttons_additional.cfg). Restart Asterisk (amportal restart) to make the changes effective.

You're right Junghanns have changed their numbering convention, which I missed.
They have also issued a new version of BRIstuff today so I'll review the last few versions and cross check against the build table.
EDIT: This is now fixed and includes today's update for BRIstuff.

I have tryed to run the install-ZAPHFC -f u, then the zaptel fails, without the -f u, everything is ok but I get theese errors:

Hi Alan
I have a standard ISDN in Denmark with the main telco TDC. Ithink they as default don't have L1 permanet on.
I hav noticed this and tryed it out with a public switch and tryed to set on L1 perm in the switch and then no errors, and with L1 off then there is this errors.
A other thing I have noticed is that Trixbox can't see the status of the Asterisk, after it have been changed with install-ZAPHFC - in the main window it say unknown of the asterisk server, the same in system maint. Before the install-ZAPHFC it was ok, I have tryed it out with 3 different mashines. But the asterisk server is running and everything works well.

My script integrates the right pieces together to build asterisk with HFC support.
For each version of asterisk I have to wait for Junghanns to release a version of BRIstuff for it. When they do I update and re-issue the script. If you want to speed things up you could check for new versions of BRIstuff (http://www.junghanns.net/downloads/?C=M;O=D) and give me a nudge (well it might make me feel wanted).
That said there's nothing to stop you using 2.1.17 with TB 2.2

Hi Alan,
I wanted do dive a bit deeper into the ISDN background information, but all four links you provide are dead. Is this a local issue with me or are the posts gone?

In general - you saved ages of my life with this script -many many thanks

The links referred to posts on the TB site which were broken when the site moved platforms. I'll probably not be able to find them again so I'll remove them from the help file.
And its nice to be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Frustrating...

Hi Alan,
I've read a lot of your posts concerning ISDN cards within Trixbox. All sounds very hopefull, helpfull and great :) But whatever I do, I can't get it to work! After multiple installs and several options tried I don't know what to do now. I hope you can help me.
I'm using a Dutch telco (KPN) for my ISDN-2 line.
After installation of TB 2.2 I'll stop asterisk and zaptel as you mentioned in your howto. After that I commented out all modules in /etc/syssconfig/zaptel
Then I ran install-ZAPHFC and I needed to choose a Asterisk version, I've chosen 1.2.17, because it was 1.2.18 and going a version higher wasn't appreciated :)
This took some time and after the script finished I went to FreePBX and created a SIP account for my X-lite. Calling gave me the message 'All circuits are busy, please try again later'. I went back to my PBX monitor and saw the "empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received " appeared on my screen.
There is only one single port ISDN card in this machine, although I tried your option for Florz's patch with install-ZAPHFC -f u, but when this finished I screwed my whole machine. In /proc/zaptel isn't anything left. And this is the result of service zaptel start:
[root@asterisk1 asterisk]# service zaptel start
Loading zaptel framework: [ OK ]
Waiting for zap to come online: [ OK ]
Loading zaptel hardware modules:
Loading zaphfc: FATAL: Module zaphfc not found.
FATAL: Error running install command for zaphfc
[FAILED]
No functioning zap hardware found in /proc/zaptel, loading ztdummypll
Loading ztdummypll: FATAL: Module ztdummypll not found.
[FAILED]
Running ztcfg: ZT_SPANCONFIG failed on span 1: No such device or address (6)
[FAILED]
What am I doing wrong? I tried 2 different pc's for installation, so it couldn't be a hardware issue, except for the ISDN card, but that one worked with Windows, so it's not dead.
I hope you have an answer to this issue, I'm really out of options. I also tried with TB 2.0 and older from the 1.x series.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Hans Middelhoek

Hi Alan,
I will post the whole log history from my test machine. It was freshly installed and I've only done what I said. First without the -f parameter where I needed to select the Asterisk version to patch and after that, because it didn't work (error CRC HDLC etc), I ran the script with -f u. The newest log is at the top.

The build with Florz's
Fri, 05/25/2007 - 6:24am
The build with Florz's patches fails because zaphfc.ko does not build (as expected with 1.2.17).
The original build without Florz's patches against 1.2.17 worked.
For the ISDN errors reported
Quote:
"empty HDLC frame or bad CRC received "
you might try checking you have no shared interrupts on your motherboard. Also moving the ISDN card to another slot might help here.
 
I'll try again

Hi Alan,
Thanks. I'll try again asap. Sounds worth a try :)

Nearly working

Hi Alan,
I tried another pc. It's an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ with 512MB DDR.
Freshly installed with TB 2.2, after installation I ran install-ZAPHFC and updated the script, than I interrupted the script and started it again with the new version.
I got a lot of the HDLC frame or bad CRC error, so I removed the soundcard and placed the ISDN card in the slot of the sound card.
Now I'm able to call and receive calls, but it isn't woking very nice, too bad. At a certain time, not sure when or after which event, I can't receive or make calls anymore. Calling out gives; "all lines are busy now, please try your call again later", and receiving calls will get a message from our dutch provider. Something like; "Because of technical issues this number can't be reached".
Than, when I call to my own number with my cell phone I get that message and after that I can call out again :?
A amportal restart and a service zaptel restart does work also, but this shoudn't happen. Do you've any clue in this?
Below I will post some logs and an error message when stopping zaptel:

When I saw the DEACTIVATED I called to my own number and I got the message from my operator "The number you're calling is temporarily unavailable because of technical issues, please move your call to a later moment", but then in dutch :)
After that the /proc/zaptel/1 gave the ACTIVATED message and I can make and receive calls again.
I think it's very very strange, but maybe you or someone else can think of something.
Thanks in advance. Your help is very appreciated (thus far).

Hi Trude,
What do you mean by bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-f is out? That there is a newer version? Can I fix that myself or does Alan need to update his script for the newer version of bri-stuff?
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean here....
However here's how I see the software flow:
- A version of Asterisk gets released
- Junghanns' releases a version of BRIstuff which includes a set of patches for this version of Asterisk and the current associated versions of Zaptel and Libpri.
- I add the relevant details to the script so that the new version of BRIstuff can be built.
If you mean modular in being able to add the details of a new release of BRIstuff, right now it only requires the addition/edit of two lines of code and the addition of a new version number in a few places.
Maybe I'm missing something?
 
1.3.1 and Florz's patch with 1.2.14
Wed, 05/30/2007 - 5:04am
Hello,
I had my TB 2.2 up and running with the Florz's patch and Asterisk 1.2.14 like Frost wrote.
@Frost
Weren't you the one from The Netherlands? And replied in a topic of lblokland? I read that one I think, I'm going to look for it... Yes you were :)
http://www.trixbox.org/forums/trixbox-forums/open-discussion/kern...
I got it to work with that topic, I needed to call KPN and asked for it, within 4 hours everything was set. With Florz's patch off course. All error messages disappeared after the KPN (Dutch telecom company) changed the setting for my ISDN line.
Because this installation was on one of my test pc's I was trying to install TB 2.2 on the server where it belongs :) And I saw Alan updated his script. I tried this first, but unfortunately the script can't finish, see below:

Maybe I did something wrong myself, but I thought you would know.
Now I'm building with Florz's patch on 1.2.14 and everything went fine. I think I will use that because of stability.
Thank you all for your help.

Module zaphfc does not exist in \etc\sysconfig\zaptel

I am in a new installation of trixbox 2.2. I have one HFC isdn card.
the line :
MODULES="$MODULES zaphfc" # HFC ISDN module
does not exist in this file (\etc\sysconfig\zaptel)
This line existed in Trixbox 2.0 same file.
Should I add this to continue installation ?
Also do I have to comment the ztdummy entry ?
Thank you

If you used install-ZAPHFC to configure your system then you should see an entry in the build log (see above) telling you what it did with \etc\sysconfig\zaptel. The log should also give you a clue to any build failures, if that's what happened.
Quote:

No, but I've always advocated only having those devices you have uncommented in \etc\sysconfig\zaptel. Once you have a 'real' zaptel device, you no longer need ztdummy.
 
Zaptel and BRIstuff problems
Tue, 06/05/2007 - 9:59am
Hi Alan,
What a wonderfull instruction this is!!!!
Still I have a problem.
After installing The quadbri with the use of your scrip, I do not see zapchanels in the following:
asterisk1*CLI> zap show status
Description Alarms IRQ bpviol CRC4
Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F Board 1 OK 0 0 0
quadBRI PCI ISDN Card 1 Span 1 [TE] (c RED 0 0 0

quadBRI PCI ISDN Card 1 Span 3 [TE] (c RED 0 0 0
quadBRI PCI ISDN Card 1 Span 4 [TE] (c RED 0 0 0
I also do not know how to proceed in the GUI of trixbox to use the 4 ISDN channels an the 2 pstn channels that I have.
Could you please lead me in the good directions?
You probably need more info, so please let me know.
Thanks
Willy

I guess you're right. I was wondering if there was any value in splitting the script itself from the variable information, so that both could be updated separately. But I guess that would only complicate matters more.
p.s. I still find the error I believe you mentioned fixing in the latest version of the script. I've opened another thread for it though, didn't want to hijack this one.

Hi Alan,
I have already reinstalled the Trixbox and managed now to get the LED's on the card to respond: green for the connected ISDN line.
However, the ISDN line is in PTP mode, the zapata-BRI-HFC.conf is in PTmP mode and trixbox is starting. When I change the PTmP to PTP and reboot, then asterisk is not starting up.

How can I get rid of these D-Channel comments?
Sat, 06/16/2007 - 1:38am
Hi Alan,
Installing this hfc card is now easy with the help of your great script.
I have an other question:
When I go into the CLI, then I see the following comments because I have only one ISDN line installed on this server:
== Primary D-Channel on span 3 down
== Primary D-Channel on span 4 down
== Primary D-Channel on span 5 down
How can I get rid of these D-Channel comments?
Dit there came an answer on the folowing from Medium on Sat, 04/21/2007:
An other thing I have noticed is that Trixbox can't see the status of the Asterisk, after it have been changed with install-ZAPHFC - in the main window of the asterisk server it says unknown, the same in system maint. Before the install-ZAPHFC it was ok, I have tried it out with 3 different machines. But the asterisk server is running and everything works well.
I have the same thing here.
Thank you Alan, and allso all the trixbox people for a great work.
Willy
 
The build errors are
Sat, 06/16/2007 - 3:25pm
The build errors are expected and catered for.
It looks like (my guess on a quick look through) is that you edited /etc/sysconfig/zaptel and now it is not read properly. As a result the zaptel service is not starting.
If this is the case fix the file and re-run with the config only switch.

Do you have a 4 port card? Are the other 3 ports connected to anything? If the answers are yes and no respectively then the messages won't go away.
I'm not sure about the status issue (I don't use TB)

NT mode
Tue, 06/26/2007 - 11:05am
I'm trying to get install-ZAPHFC to configure my card in NT mode. I've tried the switch -m1 (and even -m0 to see if it makes a difference), but the confirm build section always shows "TE mode" as how the card is to be configured.
At present I don't have my ISDN phone plugged into the card. Does that make a difference?
Thanks, PT
 
This is due to a bug
Tue, 06/26/2007 - 3:21pm
This is due to a bug introduced a couple of versions ago caused by the re-ordering a couple of function calls.
I've rolled-back those changes and released a 1.3.3a
If you re-run and run the new version you should find it runs as expected.
 
install-ZAPHFC with spandsp and rxfax
Sun, 07/08/2007 - 1:31pm
Hi Wizz/Alan,
I have modified install-ZAPHFC so that it installs "spandsp" and "rxfax" as well. It seems to be working on our machine but others mileage may vary. Now we can receive faxes clearly -- well the test ones went through ok. It remains to be seen how it holds up when people start using it on Monday :)
If anyone is interested the details on how to use install-ZAPHFC and get spandsp and rxfax working on Trixbox/Asterisk can be found here

What is the process required in addition to install-ZAPHFC?
Would these processes go into a script which allowed these modules to be built for anyone, irrespective if they used install-ZAPHFC or not (or indeed Trixbox or not)?
 
Great!

wrong info in trixbox screen.
Mon, 07/09/2007 - 3:06am
Hi Alan
When I login in asterisk gui, admin mode first screen, then the first thing that I see is that "asterisk is not installed" in a big red rectangle, but asterisk is working fine. Before i installed the HFC card with install-ZAPHFC it was still showing asterisk working.
Server Status
Asterisk Not Installed

cron server Running
secure shell server Running

HUD Server Not Installed
The HUD server is not yest installed so it rightly shows not installed.
Do you have an Idee of the reason of this?
Thanks for a great script.

PS. this is what is installed: Asterisk 1.2.19-BRIstuffed-0.3.0-PRE-1y-h built by root @ asterisk1.local on a i686 running Linux on 2007-06-30 21:03:50 UTC Verbosity is at least 3

Mon, 07/09/2007 - 5:48am
As I don't use TB I am guessing, but I think this is reporting that no asterisk rpm is installed. Which would be correct. This is because to build asterisk with HFC BRI support requires asterisk to be built from scratch after which you are no longer using rpm's.
 
Hi Alan,
The only process
Mon, 07/09/2007 - 8:05am
Hi Alan,
The only process required in addition to running the script might be to run "yum install ghostscript". This could be included in your script as well.
Currently the spandsp and rxfax stuff are part of the install-ZAPHFC script but I suppose it won't be hard to remove the HFC specific stuff like downloading/compiling BRIStuff etc and just have the script patch and compile asterisk with spandsp and rxfax support.
If there is some demand for this I could edit the script so it just recompiles asterisk with spandsp and rxfax support and remove the hfc specific stuff.

Mon, 07/09/2007 - 9:16am

My thinking was along the lines... install-ZAPHFC is about getting BRIstuff built. Its not platform or package (e.g. Trixbox) specific.
If your patch can run as a standalone script, irrespective of whether insatll-ZAPHFC had run or not, then this may be a better way to go.
p.m. a diff against the version you patched to me.
 
install-ZAPHFC on Asterisk 1.4
Thu, 07/19/2007 - 12:17am
Has anyone ever succeeded in using install-ZAPHFC on Asterisk 1.4?
I have been trying to no avail. In order to use libh324m, I must use Asterisk 1.4. I tried Trisbox 2.2.3 and upgrade to Asterisk 1.4, then run install-ZAPHFC but it does not work. After some tweaking I could make HFC-S card recognized and I could run "pri show span 1" command via CLI, but the channel is always down. FYI, with plain Trisbox 2.2.3, install-ZAPHFC worked perfectly, giving me a system that has ISDN BRI connection for both incoming and outgoing (and yes the channel is up). I also tried installing Asterisk on Fedora 6 but could not succeed.
I wonder if the problem is in Florz's patch.At the first post of this thread Alan said Florz's patch only work with Zaptel version 1.2.5 or older, while install-ZAPHFC uses Zaptel version 1.4 when the asterisk is version 1.4.2.
Any idea?
BTW, in order to even finish running install-ZAPHFC on Asterisk 1.4.2, I modified the script by adding "./configure" to Asterisk_Build before make, and changin "if [ -f asterisk ]" to "if [ -f main/asterisk ]".

Need help to get a Beronet 4S working
Sat, 08/18/2007 - 4:02am
Hi all,
I'm trying to get up my first Asterisk sever. The last step is to add ISDN support with a Beronet card.
I'm quite new to the Linux and Asterisk world so I have difficulties to follow and adapt the guide to my specific case (wich is still basic).
The goal is to add support of the Beronet Card to a freshlly installed Trixbox Server. Don't care if it's 2.0 or 2.2. Already tested both and both are fine.
The four port will be used on regular ISDN lines, mainly for inbound call.
My first question is do I need to install ZAPHFC or mISDN or both ?
What is the simpliest way to get it working ??
mISDN require a lot of stuff before get able to install : dependencies, kernel sources, ....
It seems that first launching ZAPHCF then mISDn installation of mISDN run better but i'm not sure it's the best way ?
Except this point, I'm really happy the way my server is comming alive. Thanks to the community for developping and supporting this great Asterisk project.
 
The authors of BRIstuff,
Mon, 08/20/2007 - 3:32pm
The authors of BRIstuff, who wrote the zaphfc/qozap drivers, added a test for the Beronet cards (a competitor) such that their code does not run with them.
Most people report that following the install process from the Beronet site works OK.
 
thanks for the quick reply, one step forward
Sat, 08/18/2007 - 5:50pm
I've now understand that only installing misdn should do the job. So I digged in this way.
I've readed de Beronet manual but I've not understood everything... My biggest problem is that this guid seems to apply to general Linux and TrixBox come with lot of stuf preinstalled.
I don't want to make a big mix and hope it will finally work.
With final goal to make a tutorial for dummy like me, I written down all the steps I made. The next install from scratch I will add a section with what the machine returns.
It will be fine if an expert can check this, any comment will be appreciate. Specially tips for the following part ;)
# install trixbox 2.2
# run "yum -y update"
# wait for the 32 update to complete
# reboot your system by typing "reboot"
# type this command to check if you use SMP kernel "uname -r | grep -q smp && echo "Please install --smp-- kernel." "
# if it returns "Please install --smp-- kernel." type "yum install kernel-smp-devel -y "
# otherwise type "yum install kernel-devel -y "
# go to the usr folder with "cd /usr/src"
# get the last version of mISDN by entering "wget http://www.beronet.com/downloads/install-misdn-mqueue.tar.gz"
# extract the downloaded files "tar -zxvf install-misdn-mqueue.tar.gz"
# go to the folder "cd install-misdn-mqueue"
# run the installation script "make install"
# run the scan script "misdn-init scan"
# Save this information by running "misdn-init config"
The default settings of the card seems good. protocol 0x2 and laymask 0xf for the four ports.
Actually the installation of mISDN seems ok, it say something like 'installation complete".
But I can get the misdn (start, reload, show config working).
At page 46 of the Beronet installation they talk about an other script
http://www.beronet.com/downloads/install-asterisk.tar.gz1 who will install libpri, zaptel and asterisk. The script fails, so I follow the manual instruction who works well.
But, this replace my version of asterisk with an older who don't support some of the module and then crash when launching "amportal start".
So I wonder if this is usefull ? Do I really need to follow the guide and install a specific version of Asterisk from Beronet ?
Any help will be greatly appreciate.
good night
 
That sounds good.
But
Sun, 08/19/2007 - 4:48pm
That sounds good.
But because this thread does not focus on misdn in any way I would suggest you re-post your message as a new thread so people do not get confused between zaphfc/qozap and misdn.
 
thank again for the reply
Mon, 08/20/2007 - 10:48am
You right, I must not post here. I will not put some more confusion.
I spent my WE on it... I've already posted two other post... (sorry for the flood but, yesterday I became to be little bit nervous...).

and here

And the last version of my step-by-step guide is online here :

Don't have ISDN line on site, I now need it to continue testing... I keep you informed.

It might not be your end.

It might not be your end. I've seen another script I use to keep Asterisk systems automatically up-to-date fail recently. I suspect Digium has disabled/lost their ftp server.
As the prompt suggested you could use another mirror or as a quick work-around change line 1095 to use http rather than ftp.
from: SRCURL[1]="ftp://ftp.digium.com/pub"
to: SRCURL[1]="http://ftp.digium.com/pub"
If this persists I'll change the next version to use http
