Fast Installation Guide
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
It is easy to install mISDN and mISDNuser. Just fetch the newest head of the
|
|
cvs, this can be done by:
|
|
|
|
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous:readonly@cvs.isdn4linux.de:/i4ldev co mISDN mISDNuser
|
|
|
|
the compile and install both with:
|
|
|
|
cd mISDN ;
|
|
make && make install
|
|
|
|
(you will need at least your kernel headers to compile mISDN).
|
|
|
|
cd mISDNuser ;
|
|
make && make install
|
|
|
|
Now you can compile chan_misdn, just by making asterisk:
|
|
|
|
cd asterisk ;
|
|
make && make install
|
|
|
|
That's all!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions in the mISDN Package for howto loading the Kernel
|
|
Modules.
|
|
|
|
Pre-Requisites
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
To compile and install this driver, you'll need at least one mISDN Driver and
|
|
the mISDNuser package. Chan_misdn works with both, the current release version
|
|
and the development (svn trunk) version of Asterisk. mISDNuser and mISDN must
|
|
be fetched from cvs.isdn4linux.de (mqueue).
|
|
|
|
You should use Kernels >= 2.6.9
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
First of all you must configure the mISDN drivers, please follow the
|
|
instructions in the mISDN package to do that, the main config file and config
|
|
script is:
|
|
|
|
/etc/init.d/misdn-init and
|
|
/etc/misdn-init.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you will want to configure the misdn.conf file which resides in the
|
|
asterisk config directory (normally /etc/asterisk).
|
|
|
|
- misdn.conf: [general]
|
|
The misdn.conf file contains a "general" Section, and user sections which
|
|
contain misdn port settings and different Asterisk contexts.
|
|
|
|
In the general Section you can set options that are not directly port
|
|
related. There is for example the very important debug variable which you can
|
|
set from the Asterisk cli (command line interface) or in this configuration
|
|
file, bigger numbers will lead to more debug output. There's also a tracefile
|
|
option, which takes a path+filename where debug output is written to.
|
|
|
|
- misdn.conf: [default] section
|
|
|
|
The default section is another special section which can contain all the
|
|
options available in the user/port sections. the user/port section inherit
|
|
their parameters from the default section.
|
|
|
|
- misdn.conf: user/port sections
|
|
|
|
The user sections have names which are unequal to "general". Those sections
|
|
contain the ports variable which mean the mISDN Ports. Here you can add
|
|
multiple ports, comma separated.
|
|
|
|
Espacially for TE-Mode Ports there is a msns option. This option tells the
|
|
chan_misdn driver to listen for incomming calls with the given msns, you can
|
|
insert a '*' as single msn, which leads in getting every incoming call (if you
|
|
want to share on PMP TE S0 with a asterisk and a phone or isdn card you should
|
|
insert here the msns which you'll like to give the Asterisk). Finally a
|
|
context variable resides in the user sections, which tells chan_misdn where to
|
|
send incoming calls to in the Asterisk dial plan (extension.conf).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dial and Options String
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The dial string of chan_misdn got more complex, because we added more features,
|
|
so the generic dial string looks like:
|
|
|
|
mISDN/<port>|g:<group>/<extension>[/<OPTIONSSTRING>]
|
|
|
|
The Optionsstring looks Like:
|
|
:<optchar1><OptParam1>:<optchar2><OptParam2>
|
|
|
|
the ":" character is the delimiter.
|
|
|
|
The available Optchars are:
|
|
d - Send display text on called phone, text is the optparam
|
|
n - don't detect dtmf tones on called channel
|
|
h - make digital outgoing call
|
|
c - make crypted outgoing call, param is keyindex
|
|
e - perform echo cancelation on this channel,
|
|
takes taps as arguments (32,64,128,256)
|
|
s - send Non Inband DTMF as inband
|
|
vr - rxgain control
|
|
vt - txgain control
|
|
|
|
|
|
chan_misdn registers a new dial plan application "misdn_set_opt" when
|
|
loaded. This application takes the Optionsstring as argument. The Syntax is:
|
|
|
|
misdn_set_opt(<OPTIONSSTRING>)
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you set options in the dialstring, the options are set in the external
|
|
channel. When you set options with misdn_set_opt, they are set in the current
|
|
incoming channel. So if you like to use static encryption, the scenario looks
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
Phone1 --> * Box 1 --> PSTN_TE
|
|
PSTN_TE --> * Box 2 --> Phone2
|
|
|
|
The Encryption must be done on the PSTN sides, so the dialplan on the boxes
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
* Box 1:
|
|
exten => _${CRYPT_PREFIX}X.,1,Dial(mISDN/g:outbound/:c1)
|
|
|
|
* Box 2:
|
|
exten => ${CRYPT_MSN},1,misdn_set_opt(:c1)
|
|
exten => ${CRYPT_MSN},2,dial(${PHONE2})
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
misdn cli commands
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
At the Asterisk cli you can try to type in:
|
|
|
|
misdn <tab> <tab>
|
|
|
|
Now you should see the misdn cli commands:
|
|
|
|
- clean
|
|
-> pid (cleans a broken call, use with care, leads often
|
|
to a segmentation fault)
|
|
- send
|
|
-> display (sends a Text Message to a Asterisk channel,
|
|
this channel must be an misdn channel)
|
|
- set
|
|
-> debug (sets debug level)
|
|
- show
|
|
-> config (shows the configuration options)
|
|
-> channels (shows the current active misdn channels)
|
|
-> channel (shows details about the given misdn channels)
|
|
-> stacks (shows the currend ports, there protocols and states)
|
|
-> fullstacks (shows the current active and inactive misdn channels)
|
|
|
|
- restart
|
|
-> port (restarts given port (L2 Restart) )
|
|
|
|
- reload (reloads misdn.conf)
|
|
|
|
You can only use "misdn send display" when an Asterisk channel is created and
|
|
isdn is in the correct state. "correct state" means that you have established a
|
|
call to another phone (mustn't be isdn though).
|
|
|
|
Then you use it like this:
|
|
|
|
misdn send display mISDN/1/101 "Hello World!"
|
|
|
|
where 1 is the Port of the Card where the phone is plugged in, and 101 is the
|
|
msn (callerid) of the Phone to send the text to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Debugging and sending bug reports
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you encounter problems, you should set up the debugging flag, usually
|
|
debug=2 should be enough. the messages are divided in asterisk and misdn
|
|
parts. Misdn Debug messages begin with an 'I', asterisk messages begin with
|
|
an '*', the rest is clear I think.
|
|
|
|
Please take a trace of the problem and open a report in the Asterisk issue
|
|
tracker at http://bugs.digium.com in the "channel drivers" project,
|
|
"chan_misdn" category. Read the bug guidelines to make sure you
|
|
provide all the information needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Here are some examples of how to use chan_misdn in the dialplan
|
|
(extensions.conf):
|
|
|
|
|
|
[globals]
|
|
OUT_PORT=1 ; The physical Port of the Card
|
|
OUT_GROUP=ExternE1 ; The Group of Ports defined in misdn.conf
|
|
|
|
[misdnIn]
|
|
exten => _X.,1,Dial(mISDN/${OUT_PORT}/${EXTEN})
|
|
exten => _0X.,1,Dial(mISDN/g:${OUT_GROUP}/${EXTEN:1})
|
|
exten => _1X.,1,Dial(mISDN/g:${OUT_GROUP}/${EXTEN:1}/:dHello)
|
|
exten => _1X.,1,Dial(mISDN/g:${OUT_GROUP}/${EXTEN:1}/:dHello Test:n)
|
|
|
|
In the last line you will notice the last argument (Hello), this is sended
|
|
as Display Message to the Phone.
|
|
|
|
Known Problems
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
* When I use mISDN->IAX I cannot make Trunk calls
|
|
|
|
-> You need to use ztdummy as dummy zaptel interface for the iax timing in
|
|
trunking mode, simply grab libpri, zaptel and compile them (i think you need
|
|
to modify the makefile in zaptel to add ztdummy to the defaultly compiled
|
|
modules) then modprobe ztdummy, this resolves the problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* I cannot hear any tone after succesfull CONNECT to other end
|
|
|
|
-> you forgot to load mISDNdsp, which is now needed by chan_misdn for switching
|
|
and dtmf tone detection
