Chapter 1 Overview

1. What is B200P/B400P

B200P/B400P series is a PCI 2.2 compliant card supporting 2/4 BRI S/T interfaces,
with an onboard multi NT power feeding circuit. NT/TE mode can be independently
configured on each of the 2 or 4 ports.

B200P/B400p series can be implemented for building Open Source Asterisk based
systems such as ISDN PBX and VoIP gateway.

Target Applications:
High Performance ISDN PC Cards
ISDN PABX for BRI
VoIP Gateways
ISDN LAN Routers for BRI
ISDN Least Cost Routers for BRI
ISDN Test Equipment for BRI

Main Features:
Two/Four integrated S/T interfaces
ITU-T I.430 and TBR 3 certified and S/T ISDN supporting in TE and NT mode
Integrated PCI bus interface (Spec.2.2) for 3.3V and 5V signal environments
DTMF detection on all B-channels
Multiparty audio conferences bridge
Onboard power feeding
PCM bus connectors daisy chaining
Each of the 2/4 ports can be independently configured for TE or NE mode
Full software and hardware compatible with bristuff and mISDN driver
Application ready: ｕse Asterisk to build your IP-PBX/Voicemail system

RoHS compliant
Certificates: CE, FCC

2. What is Asterisk:

The Definition of Asterisk is described as follow:
Asterisk is a complete PBX in software. It runs on

Linux, BSD,Windows (emulated)
and provides all of the features you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk does
voice over IP in four protocols, and can interoperate with almost all standards-based
telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive hardware.

Chapter 2 Card Installation and Configuration

1. Hardware Installation and Setup

1) Configure the Jumper Settings

Please check jumper setting for details. To install B200P/B400P, user should
follow these steps:

A. Setting Card ID Switch

If user wants to install more than one cards of B200P or B400P in one
pc, you should take care of the card id switch. It has three rules,
which user must follow:

1. The card id of the first card must be set to 0, and the second card

should be set to 1, and so on.

2. The First Card is a card that will be initialized (i.e installing

driver) first when system is booting.

3. At most of cases, Linux will initialize PCI devices according to

PCI slot order. The slot is nearest to the CPU will be initialized
first; the slot at the far end from CPU will be initialized at last.
That is to say, if user has more than one cards of B200P or B400P
in pc, the one is nearest to CPU should be set to card id 0.

B. Adjusting Termination of S/T Interface (100 ohm)

1. If a port will work on NT mode, you should set jumper to CONNECT

(ON).

2. If a port will work on TE mode, Theoretically it should be to

OPEN(OFF), but user might connect to some non-standard isdn
terminal equipments that do not have terminal resistors, for such
equipments, you should set it to CONNECT(ON).

C. Power Feeding Connector

These jumpers control whether the card will feed power to the external
isdn terminal. User should adjust accordingly.

 If the port will work on TE mode, user MUST set the jumper to

OPEN(OFF)

 If this port will work on NT mode, the ISDN terminal requires

ISDN power supply, user should set the jumper to CONNECT(ON).

ISDN terminal does not require ISDN power supply, user should
set the jumper to OPEN(OFF).

D. Power Feeding Input

If one of the four power feeding connectors is CONNECT(ON), user should
connect a D-type connecter from pc power supply to this jack, the D-type
connecter is used to provide power to your CDROM ahd 3.5”HDD.

E. Power Supply Selection

Some newest model PCs do not provide +5V on the PCI slots, at those

cases, use has to set the jumper to 3.3v.

F. PCM IN/PCM OUT

These are for future usages.

2) Power off PC, remembering unplug the AC power cable

3) Insert B200P or B400P into a 3.3v or 5.0v PCI slot

4) Plug the hard disk power supply cable( D style) to power feeding input jack

if need providing power to external equipment, please refer jumper setting
section for the detail

5) Plug back the AC power cable, and power on PC

2. Software Installation and Setup

B200P/B400P supports original bristuff driver from junghanns.net. Customers can
download it from

http://www.junghanns.net/

. There are few steps to install the

driver drivers.

1) Checking the B200P/B400P hardware by command: lspci -vvvvvvvvv

User Manual

2) Checking the supporting packages

Note that if there is no kernel source in the system, user should install
them. User can run yum again:

yum install kernel-devel

`. If user runs this

command yum will install the sources for your current version of the kernel.

It is time to check for the availability of some other packages:
rpm -q bison
rpm -q bison-devel
rpm -q ncurses
rpm -q ncurses-devel
rpm -q zlib
rpm -q zlib-devel
rpm -q openssl
rpm -q openssl-devel
rpm -q gnutls-devel
rpm -q gcc
rpm -q gcc-c++

If any of those packages are not installed install them by using yum
yum install bison
yum install bison-devel
yum install ncurses
yum install ncurses-devel
yum install zlib
yum install zlib-devel
yum install openssl
yum install openssl-devel
yum install gnutls-devel
yum install gcc
yum install gcc-c++

3) Downloading, unzipping and compiling driver

A. Download the stable version of bristuff drivers from

http://www.junghanns.net/

, and copy the tar file to /usr/src/:

cp bristuff-<

version

>.tar.gz /usr/src
cd /usr/src/
tar -xvzf bristuff-<

version

>.tar.gz

B. Download OpenVox patch called qozap.c from

www.openvox.com.cn

.
It contains a patched qozap.c file, overwrite the orginal qozap.c file
with the new qozap.c under /usr/src/bristuff-<version>/qozap.

User Manual

C. Make links with kernel source:

ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.el5-i686/ /usr/src/linux-2.6
Here, under /usr/src there is kernel source, user must create link
linux-2.6 under /usr/src/. There are many files under
/usr/src/bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j, please check:

D. Compiling Bristuff

cd /usr/src/usr/src/bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j
chmod 777 install.sh
./install.sh
Above steps will install zaptel, libpri and asterisk.
After finishing the three steps, under asterisk directory, running make
samples if user install asterisk for first time.

E. Modifying and loading modules for zaptel and qozap

vi /etc/zaptel, and edit the zaptel.conf like this:

loadzone=nl
defaultzone=nl
# qozap span definitions
# most of the values should be bogus because we are not really zaptel
span=1,1,3,ccs,ami
span=2,2,3,ccs,ami
span=3,3,3,ccs,ami
span=4,4,3,ccs,ami

bchan=1,2
dchan=3
bchan=4,5
dchan=6
bchan=7,8
dchan=9
bchan=10,11
dchan=12

cd /usr/src/bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j/qozap
modprobe zaptel
modprobe qozap.ko (for kernel 2.6.o)
ztcfg –vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

F. If user wants to modify the call rules, edit zapata.conf file under

/etc/asterisk to make sure asterisk run successfully
asterisk –vvvvvvvvvvgc

Notes:
Test environments:
OS: Centos 5
Kernel version: 2.6.18-8.15
Bristuff version: bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1y-j
