Quick Install Guide for Trixbox

1: Install Trixbox. Please refer to www.trixbox.org for installation instructions.

2: Power off your computer and pull out the power cable. Insert the AX-100p card into a spare  PCI slot and secure it with a  screw.

3: Switch on your PC and type the following command in the Linux CLI

root@asterisk1 ~]# genzaptelconf

Trixbox will now auto install the AX-100p driver and the following information will be displayed on screen

Loading wcfxo: wcfxo: DAA mode is FCC
Found a Wildcard FXO: Wildcard X100P.

This indicates that AX-100p has been found by Trixbox.

4:check the AX-100p status with the command line utility zttool.*

[root@asterisk1 ~]# zttool

Genzaptelconf will also update the zapata-auto.conf file located within the etc/asterisk directory. Another method of determining a successful install is to check if this file resembles the one below.

; Span 1: WCFXO/0 "Wildcard X100P Board 1" RED
signalling=fxs_ks
; Note: this is a trunk. Create a ZAP trunk in AMP for Channel 1
context=from-pstn
group=0
channel => 1

5: Amend the Zapata.conf to include any customisations that you require.

Possible additions include:

echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
echotraining=yes

6: Configure an outbound call Trunk by modifying the default Trunk ZAP/g0.This can be found at Trixbox - FreePBX - Trunk
Input your PSTN number in the Outbound Caller ID
Set the Maximum Channels to 1.
Set the Outbound Dial Prefix to 9
Configure your Zap Identifier to 1 (this will change your AX-100p channels from g0 to channel 1)

* You may also wish to change the following in etc/zaptel.conf

loadzone = uk
defaultzone = uk

Further tests

dmesg - check if the card has been detected correctly by Linux
lspci - check if the card is listed

Tips

Where possible ensure that the card has a unique IRQ. Where it has been allocated a shared IRQ, enter your computer BIOS and change.

ATCOM example installation instructions for an AX-100P card in an Asterisk based system

From the command prompt on your Linux system, change directories to  /usr/src

> cd /usr/src

Download the latest CVS release of the Zapata, asterisk package

> export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.digium.com:/usr/cvsroot
> cvs login (password is anoncvs)
> cvs checkout zaptel asterisk

Compile all the packages in the following order: zaptel first, then asterisk

> cd /usr/src/zaptel; make install
> cd ../asterisk; make install
> make samples

Edit the configuration files detailed below and make sure that they include the following:

/etc/zaptel.conf
fxsks=1 ;AX-100P
defaultzone=uk
loadzone=uk

/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
[channels]
signalling=fxs_ks
context=incoming
channel=>1 ; AX-100P

/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
[incoming]
exten => s,1,Echo ;for testing the connection
;exten => s,1,Playback,demo-thanks ;for playing a file

Load the appropriate modules

> modprobe zaptel
> modprobe wcfxo
> ztcfg -vv

Note: You may run "make configs" in /usr/src/zaptel to install boot-up scripts so that you don't have to modprobe the drivers manually. That works well for RedHat 9.0.

The installation is now complete and you can now run Asterisk

> asterisk -vvvc

You can now test the analogue phone line connected to the AX-100P and you should be able to hear yourself (with the Echo application) or play a file (with Playback application).
