asterisk users - Jun 2012 - BRI Installation

Hi Guys,

All my installs are based on PRI ISDN.  I now have a site that I need to install
BRI.  As I have not done a BRI install before I'm wanting to get some
information from the people in the know if I need to do anything special.

Typically I install libpri, dahdi Linux and tools, asterisk

...and then configure dahdi as one does for the required hardware.  Is the same
true for BRI with the exception of the libpri?  I have this feeling that I need
to install some other Linux drivers or something for BRI.

I've purchased a Digium HB8 card and I don't see any mention of this in
/etc/dahdi/modules.  I've looked over the documentation at
https://www.digium.com/en/supportcenter/documentation/viewdocs/H8 but there
doesn't seem to be anything there that tells me how to configure dahdi or
asterisk.

If someone could give me some direction that would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
David

The Hx8 User's Manual (here: 
http://docs.digium.com/H8/hx8_series_manual.pdf) has an entire chapter 
on software installation and configuration, including DAHDI, libpri and 
Asterisk.
