B410P installation problem

Greetings everyone,

Recently i bought a B410P BRI card and i’m trying to install it in Fedora Core 9 (kernel: 2.6.25-14). I inserted the card in the PCI slot and it is detected (lspci). I tried to install the zaptel (1.4.11). I execute the following commands (as shown in user manual):

make clean
./configure
make
make install
make b410p

When ‘make b410p’ is executed i get the following error (last part):

cp /usr/src/zaptel-1.4.11/mISDN-1_1_7_2/drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/Makefile.v2.6 /usr/src/zaptel-1.4.11/mISDN-1_1_7_2/drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/Makefile

I tried to search all over the net but no luck. Does anyone came across such an error before.

I’ll really appreciate any help
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot riddlebox,

Actually i followed those steps but i’m stuck at make b410p.
I think my problem might be the kernel version. I have 2.6.25 while in the guide you suggested it says it should be less then 2.6.18. I’ll find a way to downgrade to this kernel and try again.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I managed to install the zaptel driver successfully. I believe the problem was with the kernel version. Now i installed Fedora core 5 with kernel 2.6.15-1.2054. I installed zaptel 1.4.11 and asterisk 1.4.21.2 (clean install). The installation went fine. However, the lights are red (not green). The card is found and the driver is loaded. I set up /etc/misdn-init.conf and /etc/asterisk/misdn.conf as shown in the guide. Also the command misdn is not available in the astersik CLI.

The strange thing is that firstly i installed zaptel 1.2.26 and asterisk 1.2.9.1 and after completing all the steps the light was on. (Just want to mention that i use only one of the ports). I didn’t do any other configuration to test the calls, as i thought is better to install the latest versions of zaptel and asterisk.

The isdn line works fine as i tried to make some calls using isdn phone. So basically the problem is with my configuration.

This is my misdn-init.conf:

card=1,0x4
te_ptp=1,2,3,4
poll=128
dsp_poll=128
dsp_options=0
dtmfthreshold=100
debug=0

Another question: Since i’m using only one port of the card (i got only 2 isdn lines), should i disable the other three ports (is there any way to disable them)?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Vladimir

I have been using two systems with b410p’s , which only make use of 2 ports. I have the card setup in ptmp mode an te ports. In OZ Telstra do something with the L1 or L2 i think, and turn sync off after 15 minutes odd to save power i believe, so the lights only go green while calls are in progress, and go back to all flashing red if nothing is going on. Be careful on kernels when using misdn. I use Centos 5.1 with 2.6.18 and all is good. I think there might be issues with kernels prior to that.

If it’s worth anything I have always compiled mISDN and mISDN-user from misdn.org. Haven’t had any dramas. I only compile zaptel for ztdummy use in timing, seeing as the b410p is not a zaptel card.
