[asterisk-users] zaptel hardware detection with genzaptelconf

[Tzafrir Cohen]

Hi

Someone complained in #asterisk-gui that the Zaptel hardware detection
did not work. It seems that zapscan.bin did not work properly, as no
/etc/asterisk/zapscan.conf was generated.

Solution: detect zaptel hardware with genzaptelconf, and generate
zapscan.conf from it.

genzaptelconf
grep '^fx[os][kl]s=' /etc/zaptel.conf \
| sed 's/\(fx[os]\)..=\(.*\)/[\2]\nport=\1\n/' >/etc/asterisk/zapscan.conf

# this needs to be run only once:
echo '#include zapata-channels.conf' >>/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf

Any need for genzaptelconf to generate zapspan.conf ? Note that
genzaptelconf tried to add hints (in the form of comments) to its
generated zaptel.conf. E.g:

# astbanktype: output
fxoks=9

for Astribank output ports, and:

# termtype: nt
bchan=10-11
dchan=12

for a ISDN span that is NT (vs. TE. Saner default is to assume TE).

I don't like using a separate file, because it goes against the logic of
the asterisk GUI of using valid configuration data. One may edit
zaptel.conf manually and not bother updating zapscan.conf .
