asterisk users - Mar 2003 - Using asterisk with ISDN - How to configure

Hello,

first of all I have to say: I read the handbook but there are some questions 
left I couldn't answer. It's very basicaly. Sorry about that.

I have a AVM B1 PCI - Card. I think there is a I4L and a Capi-Port installed.

1.  How can I define the right channels, how are they defined. I found the 
modem.conf example with an ISDN section but how can I make asterisk load it?

2. Do I have to compile Zaptel, zapata or libpri ?

3. How can I dial, if I have configured anything. Is it only possible by using 
the console or is there any frontend?

If there is somebody out there who solved this and has configuration files, I 
would be pleased to get them as an example. 

Thanks for help Christoph

Hi Cristoph,

the B1 has linux capi 2.0 drivers, so you can use chan_capi.
Grab it at http://www.junghanns.net/chan_capi.html
read INSTALL and README, take a look at the sample configuration
file capi.conf.

regards
kapejod

use the System app,
like 
exten => s,1,System(/path/to/your/application)

You may want to find a better way of getting that functionality, you
will need to loosen your security on X so that a process you don't own
can access the screen. If you are running X as root you probably already
need to do some time thinking about security again. 

If you need that asterisk install to be reliable, you probably shouldn't
be running X on a production PBX. X is known to eat a lot of resources. 

If you are using asterisk on your workstation, I can attest that VoIP
will start to degrade as system load rises either via screensaver,
browseing the web, or any other application. I was also on a 1ghz T'brd
so speed shouldn't have been an issue.

If you choose to disregard these warnings, the answer you are looking
for is 'system', but make sure you background it or as long as the X app
is running your extension logic will hang.
