Hello
- I don’t have deep knowledge of either Linux or Asterisk, but I seem to have successfully installed 1.4 with Zaptel (for support for an OpenVox PCI FXO card) on a stock Ubuntu 7.04 Server Edition:
======== dmesg ==========
[ 25.990943] Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196
[ 25.990948] Zaptel Version: 1.4.5.1
[ 25.990950] Zaptel Echo Canceller: MG2
[ 27.523605] ztdummy: RTC rate is 1024
[ 34.720147] Zaptel Transcoder support loaded
======== dmesg ==========
One thing though: When I boot up, I see the following error message on the screen (no trace dmesg or /var/log/messages):
===================
udevd : lookup_user : specified user ‘asterisk’ unknown
By looking at /etc/udev/rules.d/zaptel.rules, I guess there was a step missing in the instructions I read on how to compile Zaptel, and assume I have to add a user/group for “asterisk”?
- More generally, I found missing or possibly outdated information on how to go and install the Zaptel module to support PCI cards, so I’m not positive I did everything right:
===================
-
Compile and install Zaptel:
cd zaptel-1.4.5.1
./configure
make clean
make
make zttool
make install
make config
=> (here, says “If you have any zaptel hardware it is now recommended to edit /etc/default/zaptel or /etc/sysconfig/zaptel and set there an optimal value for the variable MODULES”) -
Compile and install Asterisk:
cd /usr/src/asterisk-1.4.2
./configure
make clean
make
make install
make samples
make config
cd /usr/src/asterisk-addons
./configure
make clean
make
make install
make samples
-
create /etc/zaptel.conf
edit /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
edit /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf -
install ztdummy:
echo “ztdummy” >> /etc/modules
modprobe ztdummy
===================
Did I do it right? Am I missing something?
Thank you.
