[Asterisk-Users] configure intel modems.....

[Mark Edwards]

What sort of connection are you after for the Panasonic phone system? I
mean, what are you trying to achieve in connecting to it? Understanding
this might help with defining the best way to achieve a connection.

You should be able to locate a cheap card as per Kerrys post. Due to
variability of the intel cards, might be better to either shell out for
a "proper" clone or to find an FXO gateway of some sort. You should be
able to do this without soldering iron. Probably quicker to interrogate
lspci -v and then alter the driver code for wcfxo.ko if appropriate.

Also, make sure that your kernel isn't identifying this card as a
"serial" device and bagging all the interrupts. If this is happening,
then wcfxo won't get to play. You might need to recompile your kernel to
have the serial core as a module and then just not load it, or wait
until wcfxo has grabbed the card.

As for the dell power-edge, there as certainly some issues with some of
these servers with the digium cards, but this might not be such a
problem with the fxo card. I would recommend though that you try and
avoid any IRQ sharing if possible. This will require configuration
through the BIOS and will be motherboard dependent. 

Regards,

Mark

thanks Mark,
     your right i have been getting confused between office and 
station(given myself an uppercut and a slap to the back of the head),
thats sort of what im after, but does not really give any quick fix or 
details for config files for making asterisk use this card.
     i am a new player to asterisk and have it connected to fwd and a 
few soft phones.
because i am tight( well, just dont have the money ) i have to try one 
of these cheap cards to connect to a panasonic phone system.


i have one of these modems and thought i would give it a go. there is 
plenty of info about for connecting to Digium cards
but have not seen/found anything useful, re: the intel voice modems.

    i can surface mount solder but without knowing what components are 
what i dont want to remove anything,
there are no markings on the board for the components, well not enough 
anyway.( eg. R13 and R19)
so that sort of stumps that!

    originally i had 2 cards in there but the second card did funny 
things to the server... ie.
- soft phones would half login, i can make calls but cannot receive. the

logs for the soft phone said something about
sip protocol error, although the voice quality was fine and both ways.
- there was no music on hold at all.

i have removed the second card and server back to normal, only still no 
pots line.

i have tried to config modem on what i have found on the net but its 
still not working, the modem is there and working.
lsmod says the module(zapa..) is loaded but not used.

the machine is an old dell power edge, without usb....  i read some 
thing about asterisk needing the usb for something internal
is this true,
 will i have to change the hardware or add a usb card.......

thanks again Mark
