Zaptel make uninstall

However, if you've placed the build directory in a nonstandard place i. In Asterisk, certain applications and features require a timing device in order to operate Asterisk won't even compile them if no timing device is found.

If you lack the PCI hardware required to provide timing, the ztdummy driver can be used as a timing device. On Linux 2. The driver looks to see that the usb-uhci module is loaded and that the kernel version is at least 2.

Older kernel versions are incompatible with ztdummy. As of v2. The default Makefile configuration does not create ztdummy. To compile ztdummy , you must remove a comment marker from the Makefile.

Open it in your favorite text editor and look for the following line:. North Americans tend to call it a "pound sign," the ITU uses the term "square," and yet others call it a "crosshatch" or "number sign. Compiling the Zapata telephony drivers for use with your Digium hardware is straightforwardsimply run make for either the 2. Use these commands to compile Zaptel replace version with your version of zaptel :. While running make clean is not always necessary, it's a good idea to run it before recompiling any of the modules, as it will remove the compiled binary files from within the source code directory.

You can also use it to clean up after installing, if you don't like to leave the compiled binaries floating around. Note that this removes the binaries only from the source directory, not from the system.

In addition to the executables, make clean also removes the intermediary files i. You don't need them occupying space on your hard drive. This will install the startup scripts and configure the system, using the chkconfig command to load the zaptel module automatically at startup. Two programs installed along with Zaptel are ztcfg and zttool. The zttool program can be used to check the status of your installed hardware. For instance, if you are using a T1 card and there is no communication between the endpoints, you will see a red alarm.

If everything is configured correctly and communication is possible, you should see an "OK. The use of these programs will be explored further in the next chapter.

The libnewt libraries and its development packages newt-devel on Red Hat-based distributions must be installed for zttool to be compiled. The zconfig. For the most part, you should not need to edit this file, but below are some of the options that may be of interest. If you decide to enable any of these options, be sure to do a make clean before recompiling and reinstalling Zaptel.

Some devices may not detect ringing below certain voltages, so this setting may be necessary. Note that upping the voltage requires more power, and that it will probably only be necessary on a telephone connected to a long loop. Basically, you should leave this alone unless the far end isn't detecting ringing properly. To enable this option, uncomment the following line:.

To enable this option, uncomment the following line within zconfig. You can enable MMX optimization if your processor supports it by removing the comment tags around the following line:. The differences between themmostly in code implementation and slight algorithm tweaksare minimal. By default, the MARK2 echo canceller is used, and it is generally considered the most robust. Aggressive residual echo suppression with the MARK2 echo canceller can be enabled by removing the comment tags around the following line:.

The aggressive suppressor makes the nonlinear processor NLP stronger. What the NLP essentially does is say, "If the sample is that quiet anyway, make the volume level about 0.

When echo cancellation is enabled in Asterisk, it is possible to disable it by sending a Hz tone at the beginning of a call. If you do not want Asterisk to disable echo cancellation even when it detects the echo cancel disable tone, uncomment the following line:.

Fax machines and modems use the Hz tone during negotiation , and Asterisk monitors for this tone during call setup. To enable HDLC functionality in the drivers, uncomment the following line:.

For this change to be meaningful, you must also use the sethdlc utility and perform some configuration in zapata. To enable this functionality, you must uncomment the following line from within the zconfig. You must also patch Asterisk and configure a PPP daemon, so be aware that this task is nontrivial.

You can tell Zaptel to monitor the status of interfaces via its built-in "watchdog. If this happens, the hardware will automatically be restarted. To enable the watchdog, uncomment this line:. The tone zone info option is used to select which set of tones e.

The zonedata. The default tone zone 0 is used to indicate North American signaling frequencies. Other tone zones include Australia 1 , France 2 , Japan 7 , Taiwan 14 , and many others. You can change the default on the following line:. You can configure the drivers to use this state by removing the comment tags around the following line:. To make the wctdm driver essentially match all subvendor IDs, uncomment the following line:.

This may be required when using older revisions of TDMP cards with newer versions of Asterisk, due to a change in the subvendor ID code.

This has been known to cause the following type of error when loading the wctdm module:. Some of the Zaptel options can also be enabled when loading the module, by passing module parameters to the wctdm driver. You can list these parameters at load time as opposed to statically changing them in the zconfig. See the following announcements:. This guide assumes that all necessary packages required for building from source are installed. All commands need to be run with root privileges.

An example for Debian based systems Debian, Ubuntu would be:. Please note that when upgrading from Zaptel, you need to upgrade to Zaptel This will help remove any old versions of modules from your system before upgrading.

Once DAHDI is installed, it would be a good idea to make sure that some of the Zaptel userspace tools aren't still present on the system. To make sure that all the Zaptel userspace tools are removed you can run the following comma nd. Q1: Why is ZapTel stopping sales? Q2: Is ZapTel going out of business or in financial trouble? Q3: What if I want a refund? Q4: Starting in January, if I have trouble with my phone card, who do I contact?

Same as now. Use the same customer service contacts by email or phone that you have been using in the past with ZapTel.

Technical support numbers for the carriers are not changing. Q5: Starting in January, will I still have access to my dashboard pin balances, call detail records, or speed dial customization settings? A: As a service, this access was maintained until June If I can no longer buy from ZapTel, whom can I trust to sell me quality phone cards? If you go somewhere else to purchase your phone cards, we cannot help you.

Corporate Phone Card Customers. ZapTel Phone Card. SpeedyPin Substitute. The zttool program can be used to check the status of your installed hardware. For instance, if you are using a T1 card and there is no communication between the endpoints, you will see a red alarm. The use of these programs will be explored further in the next chapter.

The libnewt libraries and their development packages newt-devel on Red Hat-based distributions must be installed for zttool to be compiled. The ztcfg and zttool applications, along with other useful utilities, are located under the Utilities section of the Zaptel menuselect screen.

Tip While Asterisk itself compiles on a variety of platforms, the Zaptel drivers are Linux-specific—they are written to interface directly with the Linux kernel.
