Wanpipe

Because Astlinux has been created to fit into as small an installation as possible, a full version of Perl is not included. This means that the utility wancfg_dahdi, which configures Sangoma telephony cards for DAHDI, will not run. The configuration files must therefore be created manually. Starting with AstLinux 0.7.6 the utility wancfg will function properly, and can be used to define files in the /mnt/kd/wanpipe (aka /etc/wanpipe) directory.

Remember that Astlinux stores the majority of its configuration files in a different location to where vanilla Asterisk installations store theirs, so use the locations listed below.

Here are sample Wanpipe configuration files (for a Sangoma A101u in a Soekris net5501 connecting to a US T1). They will need to be customized to fit your own environment.

/mnt/kd/wanpipe/wanpipe1.conf:

Add this to the end of /mnt/kd/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf:

context=internal
switchtype=national
signalling = pri_net
group = 1,24
channel => 1-23
