I'm a total newbie with this so no flames please. Am I required to buy a Digium card in order to use Asterisk? If not, could someone provide a brief breakdown how'd I set this up for home use.

Question about emerging asterisk:
When i try to emerge the lot I am a bit worried about the useflags it displays:
[ebuild N ] net-misc/zaptel-1.0.0 -devfs26 289 kB
[ebuild N ] media-sound/mpg123-0.59s-r4 -3dnow -esd -mmx -nas -oss 239 kB
[ebuild N ] net-libs/libpri-1.0.0 48 kB
[ebuild N ] net-libs/zapata-1.0.0 72 kB
[ebuild N ] net-misc/asterisk-1.0.0 -alsa +apache2 -doc -gtk -mmx -mysql -nopri -nozaptel 10,993 kB

Obviously it is emerging libpri and zapata and zaptel but the useflags for asterisk mention -nopri -nozaptel.

Why?? It should use either (or both)!

Do you really need libpri and zaptel if you're using an IP-only solution?

GamesBond · n00b Joined: 15 Mar 2004 Posts: 66 Location: Amsterdam

Yes because I really want to use it as a PBX, not just as a variant of skype therefore I want to connect my PSTN line too.

But the problem was more of an e-build question / problem

Is anybody running Asterisk on a 2.6 kernel? Zaptel generated several warnings about running kernel 2.6:
* You're using zaptel with linux-2.6:
* Zaptel doesn't support devfs with 2.6, you'll need to use udev or
* disable devfs
* or use devfs and write a script which re-creates the device nodes for
* you

I looked through some topics on the forum and to use udev it seems I must make a sheer endless numer of modifications to the box incl. the kernel (not happy with that) but it could also be fixed using a script or a patch?

I guess this error is caused by zaptel & kernel 2.6
asterisk # ztcfg
Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
line 141: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'

While this device does in fact exist and also I am unable to mobprobe the module zaptel.

I emerged udev and then tried to re-emerge zaptel which fails with about 6-7 pages of errors! Some small snippets:

I too am trying to get Asterisk working on a 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 kernel with UDEV and have come to the same problem that you have.

When executing ztcfg I get

linux05 etc # ztcfg
Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
line 140: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'
linux05 etc #

And when I run asterisk -c I get

linux05 etc # asterisk -c

I have no damn idea why it's doing this and would really like to get to the bottom of it.

As a side note, I dont have ANY FXO/FXS interfaces in the machine so the need for Zaptel was eluding me a bit.

I changed the default in musiconhold.conf to quietunbuf, now asterisk starts

Did you find a solution for the zaptel compilation problem?

Asterisk still won't start here because of the zaptel problem.

GamesBond · n00b Joined: 15 Mar 2004 Posts: 66 Location: Amsterdam

OK, I got a little further. I don't know why but after re-emerging zapata finally zaptel will build. It is not working however and I still get too many erros during the build. It's now complaining about:

That musiconhold unbuf thing has asterisk running sweet for me.

My plan of attack is to get all the extensions working how I want them then tackle getting my BRI ISDN card working which unfortunately requires building from CVS.

God damn, cant see why they dont just make a seperate module like libpri

I've tried to set up Asterisk but regardless if it's .90 or 1.0 my phone won't connect. Also I cannot telnet to port 5060.

Here's what I'm getting from my startup:

[app_db.so] => (Database access functions for Asterisk extension logic)
== Registered application 'DBget'
== Registered application 'DBput'
== Registered application 'DBdel'
== Registered application 'DBdeltree'
[chan_sip.so] => (Session Initiation Protocol (SIP))
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/sip.conf': Found
Oct 11 19:20:30 WARNING[16384]: config.c:593 cfg_process: No '=' (equal sign) in line 54 of sip.conf
== SIP Listening on 0.0.0.0:5060
== Using TOS bits 0
== Registered channel type 'SIP' (Session Initiation Protocol (SIP))
== Registered application 'SIPDtmfMode'
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/enum.conf': Found
Asterisk Ready.

But if I try to telnet I get:

telnet localhost 5060
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

Here's my emerge settings if it's of any use:

[ebuild R ] net-misc/asterisk-0.9.0 -alsa -apache2 -doc -gtk -mmx -mysql +nopri +nozaptel

I'm missing something obvious but I'm starting to repeat myself so I figure it's time to ask for some assistance. Any help would be appreciated.

asterisk only supports SIP on UDP 5060 and not TCP 5060 hence, you cannot telnet to that port. You need to configure a account and soft/hard phone to the asterisk

I'm a dumbass.

modprobing the modules revealed that the modules are working and my X100P is found......

Is this something I should be worried about:

Did anyone get music on hold working?

I specified unbuffered too but everytime musiconhold is supposed to kick in (or when testing it using the suggested addition to extensions.conf on voip-info.org) i get this message:

WARNING[294927]: res_musiconhold.c:366 moh1_exec: Unable to start music on hold (class '30') on channel SIP/101-8168

Ok My problem now is that conference calls do not work, I get

Oct 13 09:55:16 WARNING[245775]: chan_zap.c:755 zt_open: Unable to open '/dev/zap/pseudo': No such file or directory

Oct 13 09:55:16 WARNING[245775]: app_meetme.c:230 build_conf: Unable to open pseudo device

in the asterisk log, and when I start zaptel it seems to start but apon stopping it I get:

linux05 root # /etc/init.d/zaptel start
linux05 root # /etc/init.d/zaptel stop
* Stopping zaptel...
Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
line 140: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl' [ ok ]

The machine has NO FXO/FXS cards, it's VoIP only at this point, so any pointers on how to get this working are much appreciated.

Did you install udev already? Or are you still on devfs? My guess is that devfs is the problem. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml

RageX^NZ · Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2004 9:08 pm Post subject:

Heh, yep still on devfs, just before I saw this reply I started installing UDEV so once the kernel recompiles I will hopefully be away.

RageX^NZ · Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2004 9:21 pm Post subject:

OK even with udev and the following rules:

# Section for zaptel device
KERNEL="zapctl", NAME="zap/ctl"
KERNEL="zaptimer", NAME="zap/timer"
KERNEL="zapchannel", NAME="zap/channel"
KERNEL="zappseudo", NAME="zap/pseudo"
KERNEL="zap[0-9]*", NAME="zap/%n"

It does not create the /dev/zap nodes.

Perhaps it needs to have a module loaded to do this??
