------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WANPIPE TDM VOICE - IP/WAN Package ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Author: Nenad Corbic Copyright (c) 1995-2008 Sangoma Technologies Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For more info visit: http://wiki.sangoma.com * Fri Aug 1 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.12 ===================================================================== - Compilation fix for 2.6.25 kernel Introduced in 3.3.11 release - Setup update Added bri and zaptel installation modes. -> ./Setup install #General installation -> ./Setup zaptel #Zaptel based installation -> ./Setup bri #SMG BRI installation Streamlined Setup installation script Added check for Asterisk directory when installing BRI Added check for x86 in architecture - Fixed Makefile build - Updated README File * Wed Jul 30 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.11 ===================================================================== - BRI to Analog Faxing Update Improved faxing over SMG Gateway and Zaptel Analog. This feature drastically improves faxing performance between BRI and Analog cards over Asterisk. - BRI Update Added overlap dialing support Added support for BRI with 16 channel Echo Canceler. Support for test start option, that only verifies configuration files without applying changes. Support for non-syslog logging. - BRI Bug Fix BRI was configured for answer on accept. This caused a call to be answered before the remote leg of the call became connected. - T1/E1 Loopback Update wanpipemon was update to check loopback status as well as set T1/E1 loopback commands. - Removed S508 ISA Support from drivers - Fixed the BRI chip security handler. Tested that all BRI ports get properly shut down. - Updated for New PLX & Tundra PCIe Bridges chips - Update hwprobe verbose for PMC Shark - Updated for 2.6.25 kernel - Fixed 64bit compilation for Octasic EC Image - TDM API Bug Fix: Added a check for buffer overflow in write function. - New Octasic EC Image Improves faxing over Hardware Echo Canceler. - BRI Bug fix on startup The clock measuring function has limited and could fail on some machines. - AFT T1/E1 - Added missing LBO configuration option WAN_T1_0_110 - Updated for 2.6.25 kernel - Updated wancfg for interface MTU/MRU By default do not configure interface MTU/MRU if values have not changed by default. This way the global mtu can be used to easily configure the MTU/MRU of all interfaces. - Updated wancfg_smg to configure XMTP2 API - Wireshark Tracing for MTP2 http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-wireshark-pcap-pri-bri-wan-t1-e1-tracing - T3/E3 Update Driver level update to improve code. - MTP2 API Support http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-aft-ss7-mtp2-api * Fri May 15 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.10 ====================================================================== - BRI Update Binary segfaulted on some systems due to gcc incompabilitly. This is now fixed. * Fri Apr 30 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.9 ====================================================================== - AFT BRI Clock Reference Update Disabled reference clocking feature on original A500 BRI Cards. It has been determined that reference clocking feature is not always stable on original A500 BRI cards. It can cause noise and call drops in some circumstances where BRI lines go up and down due to power saving mode. If you have problems with FAX synchronization on an original A500 BRI Card contact Sangoma Support and we will swap out the card for one with an updated CPLD that will work with the reference clock and provide reliable FAXing. Run wanrouter hwprobe verbose to determine your A500 BRI CPLD Version -> wanrouter hwprobe verbose -C00 -> old bri cpld (non reference clock) -C01 -> new bri cpld (reference clock enabled) - Manually Disabling BRI Clock Reference This option is valid from 3.3.6 release and greater. This option can be used in case of noise and voice quality issues and call drop issues on BRI card. In order to disable BRI clock reference manually one can add RM_BRI_CLOCK=OSC in each BRI wanpipe config file in /etc/wanpipe directory. 1. vi /etc/wanpipe/wanpipe1.conf 2. Under the TDMV_SPAN option add RM_BRI_CLOCK=OSC 3. Save file 4. Repeat for all BRI wanpipe configuration files 5. Restart all wanpipe devices Note from 3.3.9 release on, all old CPLD A500 BRI cards have clock referencing disabled automatically. - Updated BRI Stack Fix for RDNIS not cleared Support for show_spans and show_calls. Added support for multiple MSNs. Added support for timer_t3 and timer_t302 http://wiki.sangoma.com/sangoma-wanpipe-smg-asterisk-bri-installation * Fri Apr 25 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.8 ====================================================================== - AFT Update A bug was introduced in 3.3.7 release that failed to load AFT cards without HWEC. - AFT TE1 Code Defaulted Maxim T1 Rx Level to 36DB Defaulted Maxim E1 Rx Level to 42DB This will improve T1/E1 connectivity on noisy or low power lines. - AFT BRI Update Minor update on BRI to conform better to TBR3 Certification * Wed Apr 23 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.7 ====================================================================== - BRI HWEC MAJOR Bug Fix BRI hwec was not configured properly on startup. Every second channel on each span was not being configured for hwec. This would result in random echo problems. - Support for 2.6.24 kernels and up This release will now compile properly on 2.6.24 kernels and up. - AFT Analog Update Added TBR21 operation mode Used for most european countries. -> this option must be added manually in wanpipe#.conf -> TDMV_OPERMODE=TBR21 - AFT A144 Update Added MPAPI X25 support to AFT A144/A142 cards Use: wancfg_legacy to configure MPAPI over AFT cards. http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-linux-mpapi-x25 - BRI Updated BRI driver updated for new 512hz clock used to improve hardware echo canceler with clock recovery mechanism. This featue will solve any random hwec warning messages one might see in /var/log/messages. Note these random warning messages did not cause any abnormal behaviour in extensive lab testings. To check your BRI hardware version run: -> wanrouter hwprobe verbose -C00 -> old bri cpld -C01 -> new bri cpld - Wanpipemon PRI/BRI PCAP Tracing for Wireshark Using wanpipemon dchan trace one can now capture pcap files that can be opened by Wireshark. http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-wireshark-pcap-pri-bri-wan-t1-e1-tracing - S514 Secondary port bug fix The secondary port was not working. - Updated wanrouter hwprobe New wanrouter hwprobe device summary line will only contain found devices. For backward compatibility we created "wanrouter hwprobe legacy" that can be used to revert hwprobe output to the original format. - Add pci parity check to wanrouter wanrouter parity -> displays current system pci parity wanrouter parity off -> disables system pci parity wanrouter parity on -> enables system pci parity /etc/wanpipe/wanrouter.rc WAN_PCI_PARITY=OFF -> on wanrouter start disable pci parity -> event logged in /var/log/wanrouter On some servers pci parity can cause NMI interrupts that can lead to reboots. Parity can be caused by unsuported or buggy pci/bridge chipsets. The above commands can be used to combat pci parity reboots. Another option is to disable PCI parity in BIOS :) * Wed Apr 4 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.6 ====================================================================== - BRI Driver bug fixes Secured the bri restart logic to prevent possible race conditions. - BRI Stack update Bug Fix: bri stack update fixes reconnect on etsi lines Feature: group outbound calls skip disconnected lines - T3 update Fixed dma issues on some machines when tx/rx mixed voip and data traffic. - Hardware Probe Verbose Update Analog and BRI cards now display PCI/PCIe info on wanrouter hwrobe verbose. * Wed Mar 27 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.5 ====================================================================== - Removed debugging out of firmware update utility - Updated firmware bin files - Updated firmware update script. - No Functional Changes from 3.3.4 * Wed Mar 26 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.4 ====================================================================== - BRI TE auto clocking feature - Bug fix This feature failed on on some machines with multiple TE BRI modules. This bug would cause modules to loose sync. Bug introduced in 3.3.3 release. * Tue Mar 25 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.3 ====================================================================== - BRI TE auto clocking feature. Where a connected TE port is elected as the telco clock recovery port for the whole card. If that TE port goes down, another connected TE port is found to provide telco recovery clock to the card. If no connected TE ports are found then internal oscillator is used. -> This option is fully automatic no configuration options needed. - BRI Zaptel Clock Source Since BRI does not interface to zaptel, it acts as ZT DUMMY to provide zaptel reliable timing. One has to configure TDMV_DUMMY_REF=YES in [wanpipe1] section of wanpipe1.conf - A200/A400 Remora Relax CFG If one module fails during operation the wanpipe driver by default fails to load. With this option wanpipe driver will allow the card to come up with a broken module so that customer will be able to continue working until the module is replaced. RM_RELAX_CFG=YES in [wanpipe1] section of wanpipe1.conf * Fri Feb 14 2008 Nenad Corbic - Beta - 3.3.2.1 ====================================================================== - Added DTR API for Serial S514X Card Ability to read and set the DTR/RTS on serial cards throught the API.
