Upgrade Notes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Information for upgrading from Zaptel 1.2 or 1.4 to DAHDI 2.0
|
|
|
|
Upgrading from Zaptel to DAHDI is fairly straightforward; install this
|
|
package using the installation instructions, and then reconfigure and
|
|
rebuild Asterisk; Asterisk 1.4 releases later than 1.4.21, and all
|
|
releases of Asterisk 1.6, will automatically use DAHDI in preference
|
|
to Zaptel, even if Zaptel is still installed on the system.
|
|
|
|
Important notes about upgrading:
|
|
|
|
The Zaptel package, which included both kernel modules and userspace
|
|
tools for configuring and managing the modules, has been split into
|
|
two packages:
|
|
|
|
* dahdi-linux: kernel modules
|
|
* dahdi-tools: userspace tools
|
|
|
|
In addition, there is a dahdi-linux-complete package that contains both
|
|
dahdi-linux and dahdi-tools for simplified installation.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The dahdi-linux and dahdi-tools packages have *separate*
|
|
version numbers; they will not be released 'in sync', and it is
|
|
perfectly acceptable to use (for example) dahdi-tools 2.0.6 with
|
|
dahdi-linux 2.0.11. The dahdi-linux-complete package version number will
|
|
always include *both* of these version numbers so that you will know
|
|
what is included in it.
|
|

DAHDI-Linux
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Module Names
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
The primary kernel modules have changed names; the new names are:
|
|
|
|
zaptel.ko -> dahdi.ko
|
|
ztd-eth.ko -> dahdi_dynamic_eth.ko
|
|
ztd-loc.ko -> dahdi_dynamic_loc.ko
|
|
ztdummy.ko -> dahdi_dummy.ko
|
|
ztdynamic.ko -> dahdi_dynamic.ko
|
|
zttranscode.ko -> dahdi_transcode.ko
|
|
|
|
* The kernel modules for card drivers have *not* changed names,
|
|
although the wcusb and torisa drivers are no longer included.
|
|
|
|
* This package no longer includes the 'menuselect' utility for
|
|
choosing which modules to build; all modules that can be built are
|
|
built automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Echo Canceller Modules
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
It is no longer possible and needed to select a software echo canceler
|
|
at compile time to build into dahdi.ko; all four included echo
|
|
cancelers (MG2, KB1, SEC and SEC2) are built as loadable modules.
|
|
If the Digium HPEC binary object file has been placed into the
|
|
proper directory the HPEC module will be built as well.
|
|
|
|
Any or all of these modules can be loaded at the same time, and the echo
|
|
canceler to be used on the system's channels can be configured using
|
|
the dahdi_cfg tool from the dahdi-tools package.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: It is *mandatory* to configure an echo canceler for the
|
|
system's channels using dahdi_cfg unless the interface cards in use
|
|
have echo canceler modules available and enabled. There is *no*
|
|
default software echo canceler with DAHDI. See
|
|
<<_echo_cancellers,section on echo cancellers>> in sample system.conf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DAHDI-Tools
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Many tool names have changed:
|
|
|
|
ztcfg -> dahdi_cfg
|
|
ztmonitor -> dahdi_monitor
|
|
ztscan -> dahdi_scan
|
|
ztspeed -> dahdi_speed
|
|
zttest -> dahdi_test
|
|
zttool -> dahdi_tool
|
|
zapconf -> dahdi_genconf (deprecates genzaptelconf)
|
|
|
|
* The system configuration file has moved from /etc/zaptel.conf to
|
|
<<_sample_system_conf,/etc/dahdi/system.conf>>.
|
|
|
|
* The dahdi_cfg tool can now be used to select an echo canceler on a
|
|
channel-by-channel basis in the system configuration file; see
|
|
system.conf.sample for examples of how to do this.
|
|
|
|
* The configuration for XPP init_card_* scripts is done now
|
|
in /etc/dahdi/xpp.conf and uses a simple syntax (example included).
|
|
For PRI modules, the 'pri_protocol' setting, determines how
|
|
to configure it (E1/T1).
|
|
|
|
* In Astribank PRI modules, the LED behaviour represents which ports
|
|
are *CLOCK MASTER* (red color) and which are *CLOCK SLAVE* (green color).
|
|
Usually (but not always), this corresponds to the NT/TE settings in Asterisk.
|
|
|
|
* The /etc/sysconfig/zaptel (or /etc/default/zaptel file, depending
|
|
on your distribution) is now split into two separate files:
|
|
/etc/dahdi/modules control which modules are loaded and module options are
|
|
set via /etc/modprobe.d/dahdi.
