[asterisk-users] Zaptel to Dahdi

[Joshua Kinard]

Converting is actually pretty straightforward:

Bare minimum:
/etc/zaptel.conf --> /etc/dahdi/system.conf
/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf --> /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf

Any reference to ZAP/* becomes DAHDI/* in your asterisk conf files (i.e., extensions.conf).

Granted, all I use Asterisk for is a fax-to-email mechanism in conjunction with my ~18yr-old Rolm system, but I imagine more complex setups are probably not too hard to replace.  Most of it was just search & replace in the extensions.conf file.  You can also leave the older zapata.conf intact.  I believe newer Asterisk version will ignore the file's existance.  Ditto on the older zaptel.conf, since the dadhi code doesn't even reference it I believe.

The only thing I miss, is I thought Zaptel was a pretty cool name.  Like, lasers shooting everytime a call comes in or something.  "Dahdi" makes me think of angels singing everytime a call comes in now.

HTH,

VoIP-wiki.org states :

Digium resources http://www.asterisk.org/zaptel-to-dahdi<http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/edit.php?page=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.asterisk.org%2Fzaptel-to-dahdi>
/etc/zaptel.conf Becomes /etc/dahdi/system.conf<http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/system.conf>
/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf Becomes /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf<http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/chan_dahdi.conf>

Now, what do I have installed on my system :

/etc/zaptel.conf and /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf

Will these two config-files work together ???

I have no /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf and no /etc/dahdi/system.conf

Do I create an empty zapata.conf ??

I also do not have /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_zap.so !!

My Asterisk-version : 1.4.24
