Add Carrier trunk for Digium TDM410P card

Hi,

I am using Goautodial VERSION: 2.2.1-237 and BUILD: 100510-2015 with default out of box asterisk.

I have installed and configured Digium TDM410P analog card with 4 FXO ports as follows

File Name: /etc/dahdi/system.conf [changes done]
Code: Select all
loadzone = uk
defaultzone = uk
fxoks = 1-4
echocanceller = mg2,1-4


Saved above file and when rebooted and when I use this command

# dmesg

I can see card loaded and channels are available.

Next I copied file chan_dahdi.conf from samples into folder /etc/asterisk and did following changes

File Name: /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf [changes done]
Code: Select all
usecallerid = yes
hidecallerid = no
callwaiting = yes
threewaycalling = yes
transfer = yes
echocancel = yes
echocancelwhenbridged = yes
rxgain = 0.0
txgain = 0.0

group = 2
echocancel = yes
signalling = fxs_ks
context = Incoming
channel = 1-4


After this I am stuck. I have manager manuals and did not find any configuration for Carrier trunk for this card. I have successfully configured earlier VicidialNow for SIP carrier outgoing and incoming calls without any problems many times. This is my first setup with telco lines.

Could you please help me to setup carrier and activate for outbound and inbound calls.

Best regards,
Webgurru

The TDM card installs into Asterisk. The seller or manufacturer is generally VERY good at supporting you to get it working with asterisk. There are several sites with forums helping in this area which probably have detailed information to get it going.

If you wait long enough, Gardo may pop on (or someone else who actually has that model or similar may). But honestly, you should have installation instructions with the device or from the manufactuers page to work with and ask for help if an error occurs. There are specific commands and scripts for working with dahdi ... but this is all Asterisk Stuff.

Also: I believe that if you google'd it enough, you'd find the answers to detailed setup from other posts from many others, some of which are probably on THIS site. We don't generally deal with TDM cards unless a customer has NO internet (we stick to generic hardware with NO special telephony equipment for almost all of our servers).

Not to say you're in the wrong place, but you should begin with your manufacturer/seller if you don't want to "wait". After it works in Asterisk (makes calls), it qualifies as a trunk and Vicidial will certainly use it.

Hi William,

Thanks for your reply. I am already trying on google with no luck yet. I'll try to get it working with asterisk and will come back here for Goautodial. It may be my luck during this someone may reply with some sort of solution to try ;-)

Best regards,
Webgurru

And please remember: GoAutoDial is the installation disk. The software is Vicidial (which can be installed with Vicibox Redux, GoAutoDial, or the two older versions which are Vicibox and VicidialNOW OR from scratch for the bravehearted souls).
