-This file documents the Zaptel drivers for the Xorcom Astribank8 Channel Bank.
-The drivers reside in a separate subdirectory, xpp/ .
-
-
-Building and Installation:
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""
-Building and installation is basically like the normal procedure of 
-installing Zaptel. Follow the rest of the documentation here.
-
-In addition, the file xpp/xpp_modprobe contains modprobe settings. It
-should be copied verbatim into /etc/modprobe.conf or (better) copied to
-/etc/modprobe.d/ . If you fail to do so, xpp_usb.ko will fail to load
-xpd_fxs.ko and as a result will not detect your Astribank.
-
-Loading Firmware
-""""""""""""""""
-The Astribank needs a firmware loaded into it. Without the firmware, 
-the device will appear in lsusb with vendor ID 04b4 and product ID 8613
-The firmware is provided in the Intel hex format. It can be loaded using 
-the program fxload, which is typically part of the package 'fxload' or 
-'hotplug-utils' . 
-
-To load the firmware automatically using the standard hotplug script, 
-place xpp/xpp_fxloader and xpp/xpp_fxloader.usermap in /etc/hotplug/usb
-and place xpp/FPGA_XPD.hex in /etc/xortel (or edit xpp_fxloader
-accordingly). 
-
-Alternatively, xpp_fxloader when given the parameter 'xppdetect' will load 
-the firmware from /etc/xortel/FPGA_XPD.hex . You can use it to load the 
-firmware manually.
-
-You should then get in lsusb the vendor ID e4e4 and device ID 2121
-(those IDs are temporary and likely to change in upcoming versions). 
-Once there is such a device, the xpp_usb driver should load
-automatically on hot-plugging. In fact, you may find it simpler to
-disconnect and reconnect the device than running 'modprobe xpp_usb'.
-
-
-The driver has been separated into several modules: xpp.ko, xpd_fxs.ko and 
-xpp_usb.ko . Generally you only need to modprobe xpp_usb, and it should also
-be loaded by hotplug when you connect the Astribank. However in order for it
-to load xpd_fks.ko correctly
-
-Refer to the instructions for Zaptel. After our small patches were applies, 
-you get xpp.ko which is basically yet another zaptel driver, like wcfxo
-and wctdm.
-
-When loaded, you should get one span, of 8 extensions, 2 output ports and 
-4 input ports:
-
-  root at rapid:~# cat /proc/zaptel/2 
-  Span 1: XBUS-0/XPD-0 "Xorcom XPD #0/0: FXS" NOTOPEN 
-
-           1 XPP_FXS/0-0 FXOKS (In use) 
-           2 XPP_FXS/0-1 FXOKS (In use) 
-           3 XPP_FXS/0-2 FXOKS (In use) 
-           4 XPP_FXS/0-3 FXOKS (In use) 
-           5 XPP_FXS/0-4 FXOKS (In use) 
-           6 XPP_FXS/0-5 FXOKS (In use) 
-           7 XPP_FXS/0-6 FXOKS (In use) 
-           8 XPP_FXS/0-7 FXOKS (In use) 
-           9 XPP_OUT/0-8 FXOKS (In use) 
-          10 XPP_OUT/0-9 FXOKS (In use) 
-          11 XPP_IN/0-10 FXOKS (In use) 
-          12 XPP_IN/0-11 FXOKS (In use) 
-          13 XPP_IN/0-12 FXOKS (In use) 
-          14 XPP_IN/0-13 FXOKS (In use) 
-
-For such a simple case you could use:
-
-/etc/zaptel.conf:
-
-fxoks=1-14
-loadzone=us
-tonezone=us
-
-/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf:
-
-[channels]
-group=1
-signalling=fxo_ks
-immediate=no
-
-context=from-internal
-channels => 1-8
-
-; actually they will never generate calls, so the context 
-; here is irrelevant
-;context=outputs
-channels => 9-10
-
-; input ports should get an answer:
-immediate=yes
-context=inputs
-channels => 11-14
-
-;;;;;; end of zapata.conf
-
-
-/proc Interface
-"""""""""""""""
-The Astribank drivers provide their own /proc interface under /proc/xpp .
-(Note that the details of this interface are still potentially subject to 
-changes)
-
-/proc/xpp/xbuses lists the connected devices (an xbus is such a device), 
-one per line. A device is normally "connected". "missing" means that it
-was disconnected, but Asterisk still holds channels from it open. You can
-also see in the xbuses file to which physical connection the Astribank
-is connected.
-
-/proc/xpp/sync is a read/write file . It prints the current
-synchronization source. printing to it can change the synchronization
-source. Host-synchronization is currently the default but for better
-sound quality you should synchronize from the Astribank.
-
-/proc/xpp/XBUS-n gives information about device number n (starting from
-0). under it, /proc/XBUS-n/XPD-m gives information regarding span number
-m in that device.
-
-/proc/xpp/XBUS-n/XPD-m/zt_registration is a read-write file for
-manually registering/unregistering the span with Zaptel. A span will 
-register automatically when generated, though. Span unregistration may
-fail if some channels from the span are used (e.g: by Asterisk).
-Registration is by writing 1 and unregistration is by writing 0 to the
-file.
-
-(There are a bunch of other status files under /proc/xpp/ )
-
-
-
-BTW: XPP here does not stand for X Printing Panel, XML Pull Parser, 
-X-Windows Phase Plane or XML Professional Publisher. It is simply the 
-Xorcom Peripheral Protocol, which connects a computer to a XPD (Xorcom 
-Peripheral Device).
+See the README.Astribank that resides in the xpp/ directory for more
+information regarding the Xorcom Astribank.
