Asterisk OpenBSD

Asterisk on OpenBSD


4.1-stable


Asterisk 1.2.18 is in the (stable) ports tree.

3.8-stable


Asterisk 1.0.9 has been in our (stable) ports tree for a relatively long time.

3.8-current

Version 1.2.2 was about to go in when the timebomb bug fix release 1.2.3 was announced; 1.2.3 should be going in pretty soon.

There is no support for ZapTel hardware at this point, but people are using it with SIP phones and with IAX to DID providers, for example.

Why OpenBSD?

OpenBSD is well known as the most secure operating system around (yes, more so than Linux or MS-Windows). Many of us run OpenBSD as a server O/S (and even sometimes as a desktop O/S), so it makes sense to keep running it even when adding services that would appear to need special hardware.

Driver support exists in FreeBSD and will eventually make it here, if enough people need it.

Then to configure dahdi channel drivers, you need to edit the chan_dahdi.conf file located in /etc/asterisk, as follows:

group=1
context=yourcontextinext.conf
signalling=fxo_ks ; for fxs port
callerid="John Smith" <ext#>
mailbox="xxx"
callwaiting=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
channel => 25

group=2
context=comming in from outside
signalling=fxs_ks ; for fxo port
callerid=asreceived
callwaiting=no
channel => 28

;T1 card config

group=3
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echotraining=yes
switchtype=5ess :\;obtain from provider
context=infromoutside
signalling=pri_cpe
channel => 1-23

;save changes and reload asterisk
;in extensions.conf, correct syntax exten => xxx,1,Dial(DAHDI/g2/${EXTEN})

Zaptel is now DAHDI in version 1.6. DAHDI kernel drivers are located in /etc/dahdi/system.conf

Sample set up as follows:

span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=1-23
dchan=24
fxoks=25
fxsks=28
echocanceller=mg2,1-24,25,28

To check that the driver is loaded enter: #lsmod | grep dahdi

  1. dahdi_cfg -vvv ;will reload the dahdi system

  1. dahdi_tool ;will check the alarm status

Any progress?
I'd love to see zaptel for openbsd.

I can make port if I would have some zaptel hardware to play with.

I'm very interested in zaptel driver support in OpenBsd.
Currently I run 40 asterisk linux box at work, and my home box on Netbsd.
I don't know if it was really difficult to port from NetBsd driver (which are port of freebsd driver) ?
The kernel structure seems to be approximatively the same, but there are surely some differences..
So if you are motivated, I can help you. I have some hardware (currently x100p clone and several quad T1 cards) to play with :p)
