Hello everyone, I'm trying to set up an Asterisk machine with a quad-port BRI Junghanns card, and I want to use the mISDN drivers. I'm having some trouble configuring it: do I need to use CAPI drivers? I haven't found good links, could you please provide some info? Thanks in advance, -- Andrea Spadaccini Multimedia Technologies Institute s.r.l.

They both look strikingly similar, though have different PCI IDs.> > I'm having some trouble configuring it: do I need to use CAPI drivers? > I haven't found good links, could you please provide some info?Have you tried ZapBRI / chan_capi (either chan_capi from latest bristuff or from the SourceForge project)? -- Tzafrir Cohen sip:tzafrir@local.xorcom.com icq#16849755 iax:tzafrir@local.xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 tzafrir.cohen@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com

There are a few steps to the process: . Set up misdn-init.conf . Configure asterisk/misdn.conf . Configure extensions.conf appropriately CAPI is just another API to access the hardware, and it is more platform independent (mISDN is Linux only I believe). Some adapters have a CAPI driver which accesses the hardware directly. Otherwise, there is a CAPI driver which sits on top of mISDN. misdn-init can configure either mISDN or mISDN+CAPI. I prefer to use chan_misdn as it just seems like one less layer (eg CAPI on top of mISDN) to go wrong. hth James

Hi andrea, best way to do it is to download the install-misdn mqueue from beronet web site http://www.beronet.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=38&func=selectfolder&cat=1&lang=en just untar it and do "make install", it will download and compile all needed files for misdn - chan_misdn. If you need further assistance you can contact me (in italian also) al alessio AT interconnessioni DOT it Regards! AS> I'm having some trouble configuring it: do I need to use CAPI drivers?

Ciao Andrea,> Hello everyone, > I'm trying to set up an Asterisk machine with a quad-port BRI > Junghanns card, and I want to use the mISDN drivers. > > I'm having some trouble configuring it: do I need to use CAPI drivers? > I haven't found good links, could you please provide some info?Well, CAPI drivers (as someone kindly pointed out) are useless. I configured the card to behave as a TE termination (via hardware), and I made the four ports use the ptp protocol (via misdn-init.conf). Then I connected the GSM Gateway, and the CLI command "misdn show stacks" showed it correctly. The calls now follow my dialplan rules.
