[asterisk-users] Empty Wildcard TDM400P as a MeetMe timer.
I've just moved into 3.3v PCI servers and found that my clone X100P cards were lying about the 3.3v supported notch. Can I use a Wildcard TDM400P without any modules as a timer for MeetMe in a 64 bit 3.3v server? Will I still need to plug the hard disk power cable into it? Is there a better cheaper 3.3v MeetMe timer? (Boss doesn't trust the kernel timer.) -HJC

I asked this same question about a year ago, some people said it will not work and one person said it would and gave me the code change. It worked. I forget what the change was but you should be able to search the archives for my name plus empty tdm400p or something like that. Thanks, Steve Totaro

You don't need the power cable. It is only there to provide the necessary ring voltage to anything you may have plugged into installed _FXS_ modules.

The trick is modifying the source in zaptel file: wctdm.c and changing to the following then doing a make clean, make && make install. static int timingonly = 1; The original value was a zero.

That is already a parameter settable at module load time, if not at run-time. At module load time, manually: modprobe wctdm timingonly=1 permanently: add to /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/something options modprobe wctdm timingonly=1 At run-time: echo 1 >/sys/modules/wctdm/parameters/timingonly Though for some older 2.6 kernels it will be: echo 1 >/sys/modules/wctdm/timingonly That "parameter" file is also readable, and shows the curent value of the variable. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir@jabber.org +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest@local.xorcom.com/tzafrir

That way you set the correct behavior by default so a simple modprobe wctdm would work if you forgot the option, and also have a backup if you upgrade your zaptel source down the road and forget that you need to set timingonly=1 before compiling.

It looks like somebody has fixed the X100P v3.3 problem in an outbreak of sanity. (Pity that Digium seems to be in such a hurry to not take my money. Well, other than the G.729 tax.) http://cgi.ebay.com/Low-Profile-Authentic-X100P-SE-FXO-Digium-Asterisk-VoIP_W0QQitemZ130088348688QQcategoryZ99269QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130088348688 Anybody tried this in a 3.3v only server yet? -HJC
