Debian 9 + Dahdi 2.11 + libpri 1.6 + Wanpipe 7 + Asterisk 13

1. Installing pre-requisites

1.1. Installing dev packages

apt-get update
apt-get install -y build-essential flex bison libreadline-dev libssl-dev gettext libtiff-dev uuid-dev libjansson-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev doxygen libncurses-dev libtool automake autoconf linux-headers-4.9.0-4-amd64 linux-headers-4.9.0-4-common linux-kbuild-4.9 wget vim

1.2. Creating a combined Linux kernel header folder

Sangoma driver needs this, is Debian a supported OS?

cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-headers-4.9.0-4-common linux
cd /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-4-amd64/.config .
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-4-amd64/.kernelvariables .
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-4-amd64/Module.symvers .
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-4-amd64/include/config include/.
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-4-amd64/include/generated include/.
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-4-amd64/arch/x86/kernel arch/x86/.
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-4-amd64/arch/x86/include/generated arch/x86/include/.

2.2. Compile and Install

tar -xf dahdi-linux-complete-2.11.1+2.11.1.tar.gz -C /usr/src
cd /usr/src/dahdi-linux-complete-2.11.1+2.11.1
make -j4
make install

3. Compiling libpri 1.6.0 from source

3.1. Download the source

wget -c http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libpri/libpri-1.6.0.tar.gz

... or alternatively ...

wget -c http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libpri/libpri-current.tar.gz

3.2. Compile and Install

tar -xf libpri-1.6.0.tar.gz -C /usr/src
cd /usr/src/libpri-1.6.0
make -j4
make install

4. Compiling Asterisk LTS 13.18.2 from source

4.1. Download source

wget -c http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-13.18.2.tar.gz

... or alternatively ...

wget -c http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-13-current.tar.gz

4.2. Compile and Install

tar -xf asterisk-13.18.2.tar.gz -C /usr/src
cd /usr/src/asterisk-13.18.2
./configure
# optional: make menuselect
make -j4
make install

4.3. Install init scripts

make config

5. Compiling Sangoma driver (wanpipe) from source

5.1. Getting the source code

wget -c ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/linux/current_wanpipe/wanpipe-7.0.24.tgz
tar -xf wanpipe-7.0.24.tgz -C /usr/src

5.2. Patch wancfg_dahdi

cd /usr/src/wanpipe-7.0.24
vim util/wancfg_zaptel/wancfg_dahdi

Update at the end from

./wancfg_zaptel.pl --dahdi  --conf_dir=$WAN_BASE $ARGS

to

/usr/bin/perl -I ${WAN_HOME}/wancfg_zaptel ./wancfg_zaptel.pl --dahdi  --conf_dir=$WAN_BASE $ARGS

5.3. Compile and Install

./Setup install

Tips:

• Specify /usr/src/linux as your kernel source folder ...
• Don't worry about the kernel version mismatch ...
• Visually verify the compilation ...
• If kernel module does not load check output of dmesg ...

5.4. Configure card

wancfg_dahdi

... follow steps on the screen, make sure asterisk restarted at the end ...

6. First commands in Asterisk (for rookies)

asterisk -r
pri show spans
dahdi show channels

Tab completion works in the asterisk cli shell ...
