介绍

FreeTDM 是一个高级的信令和I/O接口的软件库，支持Digium 和Sangoma语音板卡。FreeSWITCH 调用了模块mod_freetdm.如果你使用asterisk 软交换平台的话，这个模块相当于asterisk的chan_dahdi模块, 主要区别在于FreeTDM是一个结构非常清晰的支持库，可以在其他应用模块上使用。

FreeTDM 使用模块的结构，可以实现轻松调用不同的信令协议栈。例如，可以调用开源的Libpri 支持PRI. 还可以调用其他的PRI协议栈，例如运营商级的Trillium的运营商级的PRI协议栈。此协议栈是Sangoma提供，并且完全免费。

FreeTDM 支持多个厂家的语音板卡，包括最有名的Digium和Sangoma语音板卡。目前，FreeTDM 支持3种I/O模块，每个模块都支持硬件层.

I/O 模块

  • Sangoma (ftmod_wanpipe): 这个模块使用了Sangoma默认的API (libsangoma)接口，安装Wanpipe 驱动程序时会自动安装。更多信息访问：Sangoma's wiki: http://wiki.sangoma.com/, 这个模块只能被Sangoma语音板卡使用，同时建议Sangoma客户安装此模块。
  • Zaptel/DAHDI I/O module (ftmod_zt): 这个模块支持DAHDI接口. 此模块也支持旧的Zaptel接口，但是不鼓励使用。此模块可能得不到开发人员的支持。DAHDI 接口可以使用在几个厂家的硬件板卡上，包括Digium, Redfone, Sangoma 和Xorcom (尽管Sangoma语音卡也支持Dahdi 模式，但是不建议使用。建议客户使用ftmod_wanpipe).
  • PIKA (ftmod_pika): This module is intended for PIKA boards.


I/O modules take care of writing and reading raw data and executing commands in the boards, but do not do anything else. All high level intelligent telephony signaling is handled by the FreeTDM signaling modules.

Signaling 模块

FreeTDM supports PRI, BRI, SS7, MFC-R2 and Analog (and some others) signaling. One thing to keep in mind is, there is no single module per signaling. You may have different options within the same signaling. So for example, for PRI you can choose between 3 different stacks. Hopefully the following description will help you decide.

ISDN 模块

  • Sangoma ISDN module (ftmod_sangoma_isdn): Offers telco-grade Trillium stack to provide both PRI and BRI signalling support (only supported with Sangoma cards). In order to install this you must have libsng_isdn already installed. For more information about installation and configuration for this module you can go here: http://wiki.sangoma.com/Freeswitch-FreeTDM-Sangoma-ISDN-Library
  • LibPRI module (ftmod_libpri): Offers support for PRI lines using the open source libpri stack for any type of card supported by FreeTDM (i.e. Sangoma and Digium). In order to install this module you must have libpri already installed. Now supports both PRI and BRI signalling (since 3d5ccf05 on 06th Nov). You must be using a version of libpri that supports BRI to get that support (libpri-1.4.12_beta1 or newer). As features are added to libpri, this module must be updated to support them.
  • Native ISDN module (ftmod_isdn): First stack ever supported by FreeTDM for PRI lines. This module is still under development and is not considered stable.

SS7 模块

  • Sangoma SS7 module (ftmod_sangoma_ss7): Offers telco-grade Trillium stack to provide SS7 signaling support (only supported with Sangoma cards). In order to install this module you need libsng_isdn library from Sangoma and you also need to get a commercial license key. Contact Sangoma for more information.

Analog

  • Analog module (ftmod_analog): Offers generic FXO/FXS support for any type of card supported supported by FreeTDM (i.e. Digium, Sangoma and Xorcom).
  • Analog EM module (ftmod_analog_em): Offers generic E&M signaling for any type of card supported by FreeTDM (i.e. Digium and Sangoma).

MFC-R2

  • OpenR2 module (ftmod_r2): Offers MFC-R2 support in E1 lines for any type of card supported by FreeTDM (i.e. Digium and Sangoma). In order to compile this module you need to have the openr2 library installed (latest SVN trunk is required). http://www.libopenr2.org/

For more information about how to configure MFC-R2 support go here: FreeTDM_OpenR2

定制协议

  • Boost (ftmod_sangoma_boost): Deprecated module offering support for the boost protocol to access PRI, BRI and SS7 signaling daemons for Sangoma cards. In order to compile this module you need to have SCTP libraries and development headers. Again, this module is DEPRECATED, DO NOT USE IT, the best way to use a Sangoma board is using ftmod_sangoma_isdn for BRI and PRI, ftmod_sangoma_ss7 for SS7 signaling and ftmod_analog and ftmod_analog_em for Analog protocols.

录音

  • PRI tapping (ftmod_pritap): This module is used to tap (passive monitoring) PRI lines (you cannot place calls, just monitor calls from other T1/E1 links). It's been tested only on Sangoma cards, but it may work with other vendors. In order to compile this module you must have libpri installed and run the FreeTDM ./configure script with the option "--with-pritap"

Installation

FreeTDM is a library and as such can be installed alone, no need of FreeSWITCH. However, to do anything useful with it, you either need to write your own application, or use FreeSWITCH. As FreeTDM was born as a part of FreeSWITCH, the source code is still part of the FreeSWITCH main code repository. If you just want FreeTDM as an API there is no need to install FreeSWITCH.

Dependencies

Some FreeTDM modules depend on other libraries, and those libraries are detected during the ./configure step, therefore you must install the dependencies beforehand otherwise the modules you want won't be built.

If the dependencies are not met, simply those modules will not be built, if you do not need them then you don't need to install their dependencies.

The following script is a convenient way of doing all the stuff mentioned here in the Sangoma wiki: 

#!/bin/sh
#
# Simple script to install FreeTDM/Wanpipe pre-reqs
# NOTE: Assumes you want to put stuff in /usr/src

Low level drivers

In case of DAHDI, low level drivers have to be installed. Luckily there is a ready-to-be-built git tree to install the Digium DAHDI svn latest trunk + zaphfc driver + OSLEC echo canceller. 

git clone --depth=0 git://dahdi-zaphfc.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/dahdi-zaphfc/dahdi-zaphfc
cd dahdi-zaphfc && make && make install

FreeTDM with FreeSWITCH

If you want to use FreeTDM along with FreeSWITCH, the installation is pretty easy. The FreeSWITCH ./bootstrap and ./configure scripts take care of configuring FreeTDM build too. The only additional step is open modules.conf and uncomment the line: ../../libs/freetdm/mod_freetdm, this will tell the build system you want mod_freetdm to be compiled. This module is necessary to glue FreeSWITCH with FreeTDM.


Having freeswitch working with freetdm and ftmod_sangoma_isdn you have to do this:

  1. Download libsng_isdn version 1.2.0+
    1. As root
    2. Unpack
    3. make install
  2. Download wanpipe version 3.5.17+
    1. Unpack
    2. make freetdm
    3. make install
  3. Download Freeswitch (e.g. (git-d872408 2010-11-09 19-29-19 -0500))
    1. bootstrap.sh
    2. uncomment mod_freetdm in modules.conf
    3. configure
    4. make all; make install
  4. Configure Wanpipe and FreeSWITCH for sangoma_isdn
    1. As root
    2. wancfg_fs
    3. Maybe you want to check file permissions of conf/freetdm.conf, conf/wanpipe.conf and conf/autoload-configs/freetdm.conf.xml if you run FS as non-root user
    4. Add d-channel in conf/freetdm.conf (e.g. d-channel => 1:16)
  5. Start FS or load mod_freetdm

FreeTDM API

FILL ME!!

Configuration

FreeTDM configuration is done using a single configuration file. However, most users also want to use FreeTDM with FreeSWITCH and therefore need to configure freetdm.conf.xml as well.

First you must configure the library (the freetdm library) via freetdm.conf and then you configure the mod_freetdm FreeSWITCH module using XML file freetdm.conf.xml

FreeTDM Configuration

The FreeTDM library takes care of opening the span devices and configuring the I/O options. No high level signaling configuration at all is done by the library at startup. This configuration file is called freetdm.conf and is a simple text file (the few people using the C API of FreeTDM have the option of configuring via API and not via configuration file if they want to). The exact path to the file depends on the --prefix= option provided to the FreeTDM ./configure script. If you used FreeSWITCH build system then it'll be the same --prefix option you used for FreeSWITCH, which by default is /usr/local/freeswitch, and the full path to the config is /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/freetdm.conf

The freetdm.conf file has a simple format (not XML) and in that file you configure which spans and channels to use, the trunk type, groups, audio gains.

Some rules for the syntax of the file are:

  • There is an optional [general] section that can be used for global configurations.
  • FreeTDM spans are channel containers and each span definition starts with the word span, its type and name within brackets (i.e. [span wanpipe mySpanName]).
  • Any channel must be placed within a single span configuration. The channels definition should be after the parameters the channel intents to use (order matters, just like Asterisk's chan_dahdi.conf).
  • If you start any line with either ';' or '#', the line will be ignored.
  • The special string "__END__" can be used at the beginning of a line to stop parsing the file (useful if you want to ignore the rest of the file at a given point).
  • The ';' character can be used for comments at any place within a line.
  • Both, '=' and '=>' can be used as the character to separate parameter name from parameter value.

How you configure this file will depend on which hardware layer you use (i.e. Wanpipe or DAHDI) and your particular scenario. The general syntax for the file is. 

[general]
global_parameter => value

# This span is awesome
[span <span I/O type> <span name>]
; other comment here
parameter1_name => value ; mid-line comment
parameter2_name => value
parameterN_name => value
<sig>-channel => <channel-range-format>
parameterX_name => value
<sig>-channel => <channel-range-format>

# This span is not so awesome
[span <span I/O type> <span name>]
; other comment here
parameter1_name => value ; mid-line comment
parameter2_name => value
parameterN_name => value
<sig>-channel => <channel-range-format>


For the [general] section, the valid parameters are:

  • cpu_monitor - 'yes' or 'no'. This determines whether FreeTDM launches a thread to monitor the CPU load and stop accepting calls when a given threshold is reached.
  • cpu_monitoring_interval - How often in milliseconds to monitor the CPU usage. Defaults to 1000ms (1 second).
  • cpu_set_alarm_threshold - Percentage of CPU at which an alarm will be triggered (defaults to 80).
  • cpu_reset_alarm_threshold - Percentage of CPU at which an alarm will be cleared (defaults to 70).
  • cpu_alarm_action - What to do when the CPU alarm is triggered. Valid values are 'reject' to stop accepting calls and and 'warn' to just print warnings. The values may be combined separated by comma.


This is an example of a general configuration section: 

[general]
cpu_monitor => yes
cpu_monitoring_interval => 2000 ; monitor usage every 2 seconds
cpu_set_alarm_threshold => 90 ; whenever 90% of global CPU usage is reached, trigger the alarm.
cpu_reset_alarm_threshold => 80 ; when the CPU usage decreases at 80%, clear the alarm.
cpu_alarm_action => reject,warn ; Start rejecting calls when the CPU alarm is triggered and also print warnings.


For every span section, the valid I/O types are: wanpipe, zt and pika. So you can start your span sections either as: 

[span wanpipe myWanpipeSpan]

or for Zaptel or DAHDI spans as: 

[span zt myDAHDISpan]

finally, for PIKA spans that would be: 

[span pika myPIKASpan]

The valid parameters in the configuration for each span are:

  • trunk_type - Determines the type of trunk for this span. Valid values are: E1, T1, J1, BRI, BRI_PTMP, FXO, FXS, EM, this value is global for the whole span.
  • analog-start-type - Either "kewl", "loop", "ground" or "wink".
  • group - The group name for outbound dialing. You can put here any string, but it must start with a letter to avoid confusion with span numbers. Any channels below this group parameter will be added to the group for channel hunting during outbound dialing.
  • txgain - The audio gain for transmission. Any float value. Very big float values will result on clipping of the audio though. Typical values range from -5.0 to 5.0.
  • rxgain - The audio gain for reception. Any float value. Very big float values will result on clipping of the audio though. Typical values range from -5.0 to 5.0.
  • number - This is only used for FXO to set an incoming DNIS to a fixed number.

In addtion to the previous parameters, you must also define which type of channels to add to the span. Any parameters before the channel parameter will affect the channel settings (again, like Asterisk chan_dahdi.conf).


  • b-channel - specify one or more b-channels (ISDN and SS7).
  • d-channel - specify one or more D channels for ISDN.
  • fxo-channel - specify one or more FXO signaling channels (analog, RBS).
  • fxs-channel - specify one or more FXS signaling channels (analog, RBS).
  • em-channel - specify E & M signaling channels.

The valid value format for xx-channel parameters depends on the I/O type (hardware layer) (either wanpipe, zt or pika). Details are included in the next sections.

In addition to freetdm.conf, a few other files are optional configuration.

The following files are used by the I/O modules as global configuration:

  • zt.conf
  • wanpipe.conf
  • pika.conf

The settings in those files are global in nature and specific to the I/O module in question. All parameters must be below a [defaults] section.

zt.conf accepted parameters:

  • codec_ms - Number of milliseconds to configure the read/write rate for the channels. (defaults to 20)
  • wink_ms - How many milliseconds to wait to detect a wink. (defaults to 150)
  • flash_ms - Duration in millisecond of the flash (on-hook / off-hook).
  • echo_cancel_level - Echo cancellation level in the DAHDI driver.
  • rxgain - Tx gain in the DAHDI driver.
  • txgain - Rx gain in the DAHDI driver.

wanpipe.conf accepted parameters:

  • codec_ms - Number of milliseconds to configure the read/write rate for the channels. (defaults to 20)
  • wink_ms - How many milliseconds to wait to detect a wink. (defaults to 150)
  • flash_ms - Duration in millisecond of the flash (on-hook / off-hook).

Some components in freetdm (mainly the ftmod_analog module) uses tones.conf for tone generation and detection. The dial tone is particularly crucial for dialing out. If you use analog interfaces and you want to dial out you must make sure the configuration in tones.conf is correct for your country, otherwise FreeTDM won't dial in lines without dial tone (or a dial tone that cannot detect).

Wanpipe mode

In this mode you do not need to have Zaptel nor DAHDI installed. You will need recent version of the Wanpipe drivers (using latest always recommended) and compile them in TDM Voice API mode, you can follow the ./Setup script instructions. You can also just "make freetdm && make install" in the Wanpipe drivers directory for a quick installation of the drivers in the proper mode.

For wanpipe spans the xx-channel (ie b-channel) parameter value syntax is:

xx-channel => <wanpipe-span-number>:<channel number> xx-channel => <wanpipe-span-number>:<low-channel-number>-<higher-channel-number>

So you can add either a single channel or a range of channels within a span. The wanpipe devices are populated in the Linux file system by "wanrouter start" Wanpipe command at the /dev/ directory. For Windows you can look at them using the Windows device manager.

As an example, for a range of channels from 1 to 23 in span 4, devices ranging from /dev/wanpipe4_if1 to /dev/wanpipe4_if23 will be created in Linux file system and you can add them to freetdm.conf like this: 

[span wanpipe trunk1]
trunk_type => T1
b-channel => 4:1-23

The key here is "wanpipe" is set as the I/O type in the span definition and the xx-channel (in this case a b-channel) syntax is <wanpipe span number>:<range of channels>. Because in Wanpipe the devices are created per span, the channel count is not global for all spans, but rather per span (note the difference with DAHDI where the channel numbers keep growing across spans).

This is an example for 2 spans (span 7 and 10) that will be used as a T1 PRI link. 

[span wanpipe PRI_1]
trunk_type => T1
b-channel => 7:1-23
d-channel => 7:24

[span wanpipe PRI_2]
trunk_type => T1
b-channel => 10:1-23
d-channel => 10:24

Converting that configuration to E1 is simple: 

[span wanpipe PRI_1]
trunk_type => E1
b-channel => 7:1-15
d-channel => 7:16
b-channel => 7:17-31

[span wanpipe PRI_1]
trunk_type => E1
b-channel => 10:1-15
d-channel => 10:16
b-channel => 10:17-31

An FXO analog span with two PSTN interfaces (2 jacks) where the wanpipe span is number 1 (in Linux, think /dev/wanpipe1_if1 and /dev/wanpipe1_if2) would look like this: 

[span wanpipe FXO]
trunk_type => FXO

txgain => 3.5
rxgain => 7.5
fxo-channel => 1:1

txgain => 0.5
rxgain => 8.5
fxo-channel => 1:2

An FXS analog span with two analog phone interfaces would look like this: 

[span wanpipe FXS]
trunk_type => FXS
txgain => 3.5
rxgain => 7.5
fxs-channel => 1:3

txgain => 0.5
rxgain => 8.5
fxs-channel => 1:4


The wanpipe spans must have been previously configured in /etc/wanpipe/ by Sangoma configuration tools (check http://wiki.sangoma.com/ for details). Keep in mind only spans configured as TDM_VOICE_API in wanpipe*.conf can be used together with spans configured with I/O type wanpipe in freetdm.conf

You can get full examples here: Freetdm.conf_Examples

DAHDI mode

DAHDI mode can be used by any hardware that implements the DAHDI interface, including Sangoma and Digium cards (yes Sangoma supports both Wanpipe and DAHDI modes in FreeTDM) and Redfone foneBRIDGE2 T1/E1 to Ethernet bridges. Sangoma cards are better used in Wanpipe mode. The only scenario where you may need to run a Sangoma card using DAHDI interface is when your particular card does not have HDLC engine (like Sangoma B601) and you need HDLC performed in the software drivers. Because the wanpipe drivers still do not perform the HDLC in software, if you have a Sangoma B601 you must use DAHDI mode, otherwise please use Wanpipe mode for better support with Sangoma cards.

Digium cards on the other hand should always be used in DAHDI mode.

DAHDI mode is most likely compatible with Zaptel mode, but Zaptel is deprecated. This mode depends on "ftmod_zt.so", which is always compiled, regardless of whether you have DAHDI or Zaptel headers. On runtime, FreeTDM will try to determine (checking the existence of /dev/zap/ctl or /dev/dahdi/ctl) which one are you using.

In a typical DAHDI installation, the freetdm.conf file will be a basic mirror of the contents /etc/dahdi/system.conf (or /etc/zaptel.conf if using zaptel), but you still need them because they are used by dahdi_cfg or ztcfg to configure the hardware.

As an example, for a range of channels from 1 to 23 in span 1, devices ranging from /dev/zap/1 to /dev/dahdi/23 will be created in Linux file system and you can add them to freetdm.conf like this: 

[span zt trunk1]
trunk_type => T1
b-channel => 1-23

The key here is "zt" is set as the I/O type in the span definition and the xx-channel (in this case a b-channel) value is just a range of channels. Because in DAHDI the channel count is global for all spans, so the next span will start at channel 25 (assuming span 1 has 24 channels).

This is an example for 2 spans (span 1 and 2) that will be used as a T1 PRI link. 

[span zt PRI_1]
trunk_type => T1
b-channel => 1-23
d-channel => 24

[span wanpipe PRI_2]
trunk_type => T1
b-channel => 25-47
d-channel => 48

As you see, in DAHDI the syntax for the xx-channel parameters is just a range of channels which is global for the whole system, no span is specified (as opposed to wanpipe mode where the span is specified).

You can get full examples here: Freetdm.conf_Examples

'Note:' If your DAHDI system.conf file has lines like these .... 

bchan=1-15,17-31
dchan=16

Then setup your freetdm.conf file to have lines like these ... 

b-channel => 1-15
d-channel => 16
b-channel => 17-21

You can setup freetdm.conf to have channels like the system.conf, however in at least one instance this caused problems with calls over channel 16. Splitting the channels out over a few lines solved that issue.

FreeSWITCH FreeTDM configuration

Once the library is configured, if you are using FreeSWITCH (other users may use only the library to build custom TDM applications), you have to tell FreeSWITCH which signaling settings to use and where to send the incoming calls to. This is done through /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/freetdm.conf.xml (assuming you have default installation path for FreeSWITCH).

The autoload_configs/freetdm.conf.xml will then look like this: 

<configuration name="freetdm.conf" description="FreeTDM Configuration">
  <settings>
    <param name="debug" value="0"/>
    <param name="sip_headers" value="true"/>

The name attribute of the tag *MUST* match a span name in freetdm.conf, this is how FreeSWITCH knows which span you want to configure with that signaling.

Many parameters on the section depend of the signaling module section where they live. Every span must be inside a signaling module tag. Each signaling module has its own unique tag identifier. The dialplan and context parameter are accepted by all signaling modules. But other than that every span must be configured with parameters supported by its signaling module. These are the signaling module tags that you can use in freetdm.conf.xml

  • <analog_spans> </analog_spans> - Spans will be configured by the signaling module ftmod_analog.
  • <analog_em_spans> </analog_em_spans> - Spans will be configured by the signaling module ftmod_analog_em.
  • <pri_spans> </pri_spans> - Spans will be configured by the native FreeTDM ISDN stack ftmod_isdn.
  • <libpri_spans> </libpri_spans> - Spans will be configured by the libpri module ftmod_libpri.
  • <pritap_spans> </pritap_spans> - Spans will be configured by the PRI tapping module ftmod_pritap.
  • <sangoma_pri_spans> </sangoma_pri_spans> - Spans will be configured by the Sangoma ISDN signaling module ftmod_sangoma_isdn.
  • <sangoma_bri_spans> </sangoma_bri_spans> - Spans will be configured by the Sangoma ISDN signaling module ftmod_sagoma_isdn.
  • <sangoma_ss7_spans> </sangoma_ss7_spans> - Spans will be configured by the Sangoma SS7 signaling module ftmod_sangoma_ss7.
  • <r2_spans> </r2_spans> - Spans will be configured by the OpenR2 MFC-R2 signaling module ftmod_r2.
  • <boost_spans> </boost_spans> - Spans will be configured by the custom protocol module ftmod_sangoma_boost to access SS7, PRI and BRI lines.

Refer to the samples included in the freetdm sources inside the conf/ directory for more information on the parameters for the spans on each signaling section.

Here is one working example for HFC-S BRI PCI cards. There are still problems with other devices on the S0-bus, but it works as a single device on the S0 so far. 

<configuration name="freetdm.conf" description="FreeTDM Configuration">

      </span>
   </libpri_spans>
</configuration>

Dial Plan

When using mod_freetdm to use FreeTDM with FreeSWITCH. You need to add dial plan rules to use your FreeTDM lines. 

 <extension name="outgoing-pri">
  <condition field="destination_number" expression="^.+$">
    <action application="bridge" data="freetdm/1/a/${destination_number}"/>
  </condition>
</extension>

 <extension name="outgoing-FXO">
  <condition field="destination_number" expression="^.+$">
    <action application="bridge" data="freetdm/1/1/${destination_number}|freetdm/1/2/${destination_number}"/>
  </condition>
</extension>

Then to bridge an FXS channel to FXO channel 

 <extension name="bridge-FXS-to-FXO">
  <condition field="destination_number" expression="^.+$" />
  <condition field="chan_name" expression="FreeTDM/1/[34]" >
    <action application="bridge" data="freetdm/1/1/${destination_number}|freetdm/1/2/${destination_number}"/>
  </condition>
</extension>

Ascending vs. Descending Channel Selection

FreeTDM supports automatic selection of the channel within the span. Use "a" for ascending (lowest-numbered channel available) and "A" for descending (highest-numbered channel available).

Examples: 

 <!-- Ascending, i.e. start at channel 1 and work up -->
 <action application="bridge" data="freetdm/1/a/${destination_number}>
 
 <!-- Descending, i.e. start at "the top" (e.g. 23 in T1) and work down -->
 <action application="bridge" data="freetdm/1/A/${destination_number}>

Sangoma A200 with Software Echo Cancellation

If you have a non-D series A200 card, it will be unusable without software echo cancellation. As of 03/11 the native wanpipe docs on the sangoma wiki do not account for this. It is not possible to use a Sangoma A200 series with software echo cancellation in "Wanpipe-native" mode. Instead, use wanpipe with dahdi. (Also, hangup detection may not work without software echo cancellation. It may work better once mg2 cancellation is working, and it may just work right with oslec. This has been reported with Gentoo-64.)

HINT: Build in wanpipe-native mode, then return here and try this:

STEPs 1: Compile and install dahdi, dahdi-tools, and libpri

STEPs 2: Compile and install the latest wanpipe driver with "./Setup dahdi" in the wanpipe driver source dir. Ignore the parts about "Asterisk"

... same thing with Oslec instead of mg2 software echo cancellation

Follow the steps above, but first patch dahdi as per oslec docs. Hint: don't download dahdi-complete. Download dahdi and dahdi-tool separately.

STEP 3: Set "echocanceller=oslec,X", where X is the span number of your A200, in /etc/dahdi/system.conf.

Sangoma G.722 ISDN calls

As of May 19th 2011, Sangoma cards may be used to make and receive TDM calls using G.722 codec (or any other codec that can fit in the TDM 64kbps data stream).

The way it works is based on the "unrestricted digital" bearer capability available in ISDN circuits. A typical voice call will be sent to the telco (or the telco will send it to us) using the default bearer capability "speech". However, using "unrestricted digital" is understood that the data in the B channel could be just about anything. You must configure FreeSWITCH to decide the codec to use, in this case G.722. In your Sangoma span XML configuration (for example, just below <param name="context" value="xx" />) you set this parameter: 

<param name="unrestricted-digital-codec" value="G722@8000h" />

That instructs FreeTDM to setup G.722 codec for all unrestricted digital calls.

In order to originate calls with bearer capability "unrestricted digital", you must call the bridge application like this: 

<action application="bridge" data="{freetdm_bearer_capability=1}freetdm/xxx" />

The key point is the {freetdm_bearer_capability=1}, where 0 is speech (default) and 1 is unrestricted digital.

FreeSWITCH/FreeTDM CLI commands

Delivered by mod_freetdm

If mod_freetdm is loaded inside FreeSWITCH, you have many FreeTDM commands that you can use.

To see a list of your configured spans, at the CLI type 

ftdm list

To see detailed information about a specific span 

ftdm dump <span_id>

To see detailed information about a specific channel on span 

ftdm dump <span_id> <chan_id>

To start a span (this terminates FS with sangoma_isdn when you stopped the span before) 

ftdm start <span_id>

To stop a span 

ftdm stop <span_id>

To get a pcap trace (I guess it doesn't work currently) 

ftdm q931_pcap <span_id> on|off [pcapfilename without suffix]

(this command shouldn't be defined in mod_freetdm, but in ftmod_isdn I guess)


To enable/disable DTMF detection on whole span or certain channel 

ftdm dtmf on|off <span_id> [<chan_id>]

To enable a trace on whole span or certain channels 

ftdm trace <path where to save files per channel> <span_id> [<chan_id>]

To disable a trace on whole span or certain channels 

ftdm notrace <span_id> [<chan_id>]

To adjust gains on whole span or certain channels 

ftdm gains <rxgain> <txgain> <span_id> [<chan_id>]

All other commands are send currently to ftmod's api!

Delivered by ftmod_sangoma_isdn API

ftmod_sangoma_isdn is basing on Sangoma's libsng_isdn library. You have to download and install it befor you run FS's configure script.

To enable partial runtime decoding of q921 or q931 messages on a span 

ftdm sangoma_isdn trace <q921|q931> <span_name>

Call this for both q921 and q931 to have both decoded


To disable decoding of q921 and q931 messages on a span 

ftdm sangoma_isdn trace disable <span_name>

To get layer 1 statistics from span (derived from wanpipe I guess) 

ftdm sangoma_isdn l1_stats <span_name>

To get a short status report of each span 

ftdm sangoma_isdn show_spans

Mailing List FAQ

This is a collection of questions and answers from the FreeSWITCH mailing list.

FreeTDM partial spans, group dialing and trunks

http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2010-October/063519.html

The question: 

I have oodles of FXO ports configured on Xorcom Astribanks. On the Astribank
each set of 8 FXO ports forms a zaptel/openzap/freetdm span.

Now if a trunk consists of an integral multiple of 8 FXO ports it is easy to
just dial out on the first available channel:

<action application="bridge" data="freetdm/1/a/$1|freetdm/2/a/$1"/>

This grabs the first available channel out of 16 FXO ports.

But what is the "right" way to do it when I need to use 1.5 spans (i.e. 12
FXO ports)?

Is there such a thing as a virtual span that can be built out of individual
FXO ports?

The answer: 

You can create spans with channels from any other span (as long as the
signaling is the same).

[span zt xorcomSpan]
; channels from 1.5 trunks
fxo-channel => 1-12

Then dial:

<action application="bridge" data="freetdm/xorcomSpan/a/$1/>

You can also just define a group for those channels and use the group
for dialing.

[span zt xorcomTrunk1]
trunk_type => FXO
group => xorcomg1
fxo-channels => 1-8

[span zt xorcomTrunk2]
trunk_type => FXO
group => xorcomg1
fxo-channels => 9-12

Then dial using the group name.

<action application="bridge" data="freetdm/xorcomg1/a/$1/>

This means spans and groups are strings within the same name space (as
far as hunting is concerned), and you should not make them conflict.

The question in this thread refers to "virtual spans". In FreeTDM, all spans declared in freetdm.conf are virtual or logical, however you want to call them. Meaning the FreeTDM span structure it's just a channel container. The actual channels may belong to different physical spans. You can do things like:

freetdm.conf 

[span wanpipe superWanpipeSpan]
b-channel => 1:1-15
b-channel => 1:17-31
b-channel => 2:1-15
b-channel => 2:17-31

This freetdm.conf file creates a span containing B channels from 2 physical E1's. A span of type "wanpipe" was used for this example because is clearer that channels from 2 spans are being put in a single span. For zt I/O spans this looks like:

freetdm.conf 

[span zt superZtSpan]
b-channel => 1-15
b-channel => 17-31
b-channel => 32-46
b-channel => 48-62

This super spans, or logical spans that are composed of channels across physical spans are actually used for some signaling types like "boost", which requires all b-channels in a single span. That module however is deprecated, and is not recommended to group channels like that (because some other signaling modules assume all channels in a span come from a single physical span).

Note that, although for analog modues it's supported to add channels from any physical span to any FreeTDM span, it's not recommended for other signaling modules (like PRI, BRI). Group dialing was introduced to stop using FreeTDM logical spans as dialing groups. If you need to group channels for dialing purposes, use the "group" parameter to add the channels to a given group.

FreeTDM Screening Indicator

http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2010-October/064539.html

The question: 

Hi,
I have a server with FreeSWITCH (latest GIT revision) + FreeTDM with some
Sangoma A108 boards.
I have the necessity to set, for outgoing calls, the ISDN information
element "Screening Indicator" of calling party number.
I have see that some information element can be set in the
"freetdm.conf.xml" file (i.e. calling and called typer of number or
numbering plan) but I have not found any reference to the screening
indicator.
If there is no way to specify this information element for each trunk, it's
possible to change its default value (that is 01=user provided, verified and
passed)?
Thanks,

The answer: 

To check the value on incoming call, try the screen_bit variable from the dial plan:

${screen_bit} which will be either true or false.

To set it for outgoing calls, try using the privacy application that FreeSWITCH has.

<action application="privacy" data="on" />

FreeTDM Sangoma PRI rx errors

http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2010-October/064569.html

The question: 

After installing FreeSWITCH and Sangoma, I am getting following error in fs_cli

2010-10-27 17:57:03.228457 [ERR] ftmod_sangoma_isdn_stack_rcv.c:883 sng_isdn->s1:L1 Rx Error
2010-10-27 17:57:03.228457 [DEBUG] ftmod_sangoma_isdn_stack_rcv.c:871 sng_isdn->s1: Resetting L1 link

What does these mean?


These errors mean we're seeing errors on L1 (the T1/E1 link).

To troubleshoot, it is advised: 

Can you check what type of L1 errors you are seeing:

from FS cli:
ftdm sangoma_isdn l1_stats wp1

Can you also check if wanpipemon is reporting errors:

wanpipemon -i w1g1 -c Ta

(repeat a couple times to see if any of the alarms are continuously 
toggling or the number of errors at the bottom keep incrementing)

How to identify whether a port in a card is a problem

The question: 

How to check whether there is a problem with the ports in the Sangoma card that you have?

The Answer: 

You need to check by using loopback.

Single port loopback: 

            +-------+
            |       |
        1   2   4   5
        |       |
        |       |
        +-------+
You need to configure the port as MASTER to get the clock signal. Otherwise tx will expect clock 
from rx and rx will expect clock from tx, and port won't show "Connected" status.

If it shows "Connected" then most probably there is no problem in the port

If you are using a CSU with the sangoma card, you can simply put the CSU in loopback mode and start sending out the test patterns

What is YELLOW alarm

The question: 

What is meant by YELLOW alarm? Will I be able to simulate to get better understanding?

The Answer 

Of-course yes. You can generate the YELLOW alarm as follows.
Make a Loopback cable as follows:

           PORT A                            PORT B
            +---------------------------------------+
            |       +-----------------------+       |
            |       |                       |       |
        1   2   4   5                   1   2   4   5
        |       |                       |       |
        |       +-----------------------+       |
        +---------------------------------------+

Configure the clock of PORT A as "NORMAL" and PORT B as "MASTER". 
Remove the 1 and 2 pins, in PORT B. You will get "YELLOW" alarm on PORT B.
In PORT A, it will have "Remote Alarm Indication" = "ON". ( wanpipemon -i w1g1 -c Ta )
PORT A will be in "Connected" state ( since it gets the packet sent by PORT B.
PORT B will be in "Disconnected" state.

Here is the explanation: 

Once PORT B is unable to receive any message from PORT A, it will send a indication saying that 
"I'm unable to receive you" in the Tx (pins 4,5), and it will set the "YELLOW" alarm on. Then 
PORT A finds that, PORT B is not receiving packets which is sent by PORT A, and it will enable the "RAI". 
(Red Alarm Indicator). Alarm recovery time can vary from equipment to equipment. Yellow alarm is also 
known as AIS on some equipment.
