AVM Fritz!Card, Asterisk and Ubuntu - a link collection

Dieser Post wurde aus meiner alten WordPress-Installation importiert. Sollte es Darstellungsprobleme, falsche Links oder fehlende Bilder geben, bitte einfach hier einen Kommentar hinterlassen. Danke.

I'm running a small server at home which does storage services, telephone and MythTV in one box. The VoIP part is served by Asterisk (what else?) and a AVM FritzCard PCI.

Everything is running stable and I don't need a 100+ Euro ISDN card for serving only two channels and few VoIP devices within my private home LAN, but upgrading became challenging since Ubuntu removed the chan_capi drivers from the repository.

You need:

• The Ubuntu packages:
  • asterisk-dev
  • build-essential
  • linux-headers
  • libcapi20-3
  • libcapi20-dev
  • capiutils
• The chan_capi Asterisk module, download and compile it
• The Ubuntu fcPCI documentation
• A lot of time (maybe hours, maybe a day)

I'll copy the download links for the fcpci Kernel modile in case they get lost on the original page:

Download the required packages using apt-get:

apt-get install asterisk-dev build-essential linux-headers libcapi20-3 libcapi20-dev capiutils

Download and compile the chan_capi module.

Edit /etc/isdn/capi.conf and check that there is a line

fcpci - - - - - -

without leading # char.

Add the following modules to /etc/modules:

capidrvcapifcpci

Add to /etc/asterisk/modules.conf:

load => chan_capi.so

Reboot and run "capiinfo" which should report "Number of Controllers: 1" and a lot of additional information about your card.

Once your card has been configured with Asterisk and chan_capi has been loaded, run "asterisk -r" to get a console and use "capi info" and "capi show channels" to get some few information:

I planned to write a tutorial showing step-by-step how to set up a AVM FritzCard PCI with Asterisk on Ubuntu - but didn't get the tuits to do it, sorry. This is just a collection of links and partial information, you'll need some time to try out the missing parts yourself.
