[asterisk-users] Dahdi and ztdummy

[Mike]

Thanks Joseph.  I went and read thos pages, nothing helps me.  As mentionned
in my other post, I don`t have a /dev/dadhi file....I don`t know why it
wasn`t created or where to go from here.

Mike

No problem. But what steps did you use? Did you edit *any* dahdi related
configs? See the voip-info url below.

>I find it hard to find any documentation referring to dadhi instead of
zaptel.

:) Yeah, it's not the most documented aspect of Asterisk, but there is
enough for your need...

>I have no Digium hardware, but I still need the ztdummy timer (or whatever
it`s called now).  How do I get myself going?

Well you need to check the README, for your application it has all you need
to know:
http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/linux/tags/2.0.0/README

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: If using `sudo` to build/install, you may need to add /sbin to your
PATH.

  make
  make install

Note that you'll need the utilities provided in the package dahdi-tools
to configure DAHDI devices on your system.

At the bottom of that file, it points you to a source for making the
transition when reading older docs:
http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/DAHDI

I suggest you pull in dahdi-linux-complate, run #make, #make install, #make
config, then #chkconfig dahdi on (or your distro equiv) and the bare configs
that get installed will allow all modules to load, see that there is no
hardware and fall back to dahdi_dummy.

Do an lsmod and look for something like so:
[root at host ~]# lsmod | grep dahdi
dahdi_dummy            38984  0
dahdi                 231760  9
dahdi_dummy,xpp,wctdm,wcfxo,wctdm24xxp,wcte11xp,wct1xxp,wcte12xp,wct4xxp
crc_ccitt              35265  1 dahdi

Also,
[root at host ~]# cat /proc/dahdi/1
Span 1: DAHDI_DUMMY/1 "DAHDI_DUMMY/1 (source: RTC) 1" (MASTER)

Note that UPGRADE.txt suggests:
http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/linux/tags/2.0.0/UPGRADE.txt
* This package no longer includes the 'menuselect' utility for
  choosing which modules to build; all modules that can be built are
  built automatically.


HTH,
