How do I configure the AX-100P to work with
Asterisk
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
c) Compile all the packages in the following order: zaptel first,
then asterisk
cd /usr/src/zaptel; make install
cd ../asterisk; make install
make samples
d) 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).

How do I configure the AX-100P to work with Trixbox?
Please refer to the link below for Atcoms guide to installing
their products in a Trixbox environment
ATCOM Trixbox
installation guide
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.

I have noticed some echo on the line when using
Asterisk/Trixbox. What configuration changes do I need to make?
Although better quality than the X100P cards that can be purchased.
The AX100P like all X100P does not have hardware echo cancellation.
Ensure that the Zapata.conf file has the following entry:
echocancel = true
echotraining = true
