1.Overview1.1 What is A400P/A400E

A400P/A400E is a modular analog telephony interface product. It is designed to be hardwarecompatible with Digiums TDM400p. A400P/A400E must be made up with FXO-100 or

FXS-100 together to build a workable system. The FXO-100 and FXS-100 modules are also

pin to pin compatible with Digiums X100M and S100M.

Key Benefits:

Scalable: just add additional cards to extend system Support PCI for A400P and PCI Express for A400E Be easy to use: full software and hardware compatible with Digium's TDM400P. User can use Diguim's X100M/S100M module on this card, or use our FXO-100/

FXS-100 Module on TDM400P

# cd asterisk-1.6xxx

# ./configure

# make

# make install

# make samples

3.3 Configuration

1. After compile and install dahdi and asterisk, please run:

# dahdi_genconf

If there is any error, please trace the cause. Until without any errors are displayed, you could

execute dahdi_genconf again, then go to next step.By running dahdi_genconf, it will generate /etc/dahdi/system.conf and

etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf. Check automatically generated files information is agree

with your hardware setup, if not, you should modify to your requirements. Confirm

dahdi-channels.conf is included in chan_dahdi.conf, otherwise, run command:

# echo "#include dahdi-channels.conf" >>

/etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf

FXO ports use FXS signaling, while FXS ports adopt FXO signaling. A part of system.conf,

which is the basic channel configuration file, is displayed.

# Span 1: WCTDM/4 "Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F Board 5" (MASTER)fxsks=1fxsks=2fxoks=3fxoks=4

# Global data

loadzone = usdefaultzone = us

Figure 4 A part of system.conf

In order to match your country pattern, you need to change parameters loadzone and

defaultzone to your country. For example, your system is in CHINA, then, you would like

them change to:

loadzone = cn

defaultzone = cn

Meanwhile, you also need to modify another parameter, which is in file

/etc/asterisk/indications.conf:


9/12



country=cn

A part of file /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf is showed as below. (Modification, if it is not

agree with the hardware setup)

; Span 1: WCTDM/4 "Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F Board 5" (MASTER);;; line="1 WCTDM/4/0 FXSKS"signalling=fxs_kscallerid=asreceivedgroup=0context=from-pstnchannel => 1callerid=group=context=default

2. Load opvxa24xx driver

# modprobe dahdi

# modprobe wctdm

# dahdi_cfg vvvvvvvvvv

Figure 6 Channel map

3.Start asterisk by executing command:

# asterisk -vvvvvvvvvgc

If asterisk is already activate, run asteriskrinstead.

localhost*CLI> dahdi show channels

If dahdi channels are found, it means dahdi channels have been loaded into asterisk.

4. Edit dialplan

Users must make sure that the context from-pstn and from-internalare in extensions.conf,

here an example is given:

# vim /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf

[from-pstn]exten => s,1,Answer() // answer an inbound callExten => s,n,Playback(cc_welcome)

Exten => s,n,Hangup()

[from-internal]exten => 200,1,Dial(dahdi/1/outgoing_number) // dial 200 to dialout from dahdi channel 1exten => 200,2,Hangup

After saving your dialplan, please run asterisk r, then execute reloadin the CLI. Next

you are able to make calls.

Additional function

Users should run commandcat /proc/interruptsto check A400P/A400E has independent

interrupt. If A400P/A400E shares interrupt with other device, it may cause some problems

even cannot work normally. While A400P/A400E allows users to modify interrupt pin during

firmware upgrade for avoid conflict, please visit the following link for details:
