* Thu Aug 21 2008 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - Stable - 3.2.7.1
========================================================================
- Fixed bug in wancfg_zaptel configuration utility
This bug was introduced in previous release. It will set d-channels
as "dchan" instead of "hardhdlc" for zaptel-1.4.x .
No driver changes.
* Thu Jul 16 2008 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - Stable - 3.2.7
========================================================================
- Removed the Excessive Error check that disables the port.
This feature was introduced in 3.2.6 release.
Some lines are extremely noisy on startup which can cause
excessive crc errors (5000 per sec). In this case driver would
take the port down for few sec before bringing it back up in order to
avoid irq overlaod. This release will only print the
warning but will not take any up/down actions.
- Added support for new PLX2 or TUNDRA PCIe chip.
* Thu Jun 4 2008 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - Stable - 3.2.6
========================================================================
- Updated hwprobe to add A056 card
- Updated for 2.6.25 kernel
- wanpipemon PRI/BRI wireshark tracing
http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-wireshark-pcap-pri-bri-wan-t1-e1-tracing
- LIP Layer Update
Optimized packet handling in bh
- Fixed WAN Protocol for 2.6.24 kernels and higher
- 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.
- 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
- 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 :)
* Thu Apr 4 2008 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - Stable - 3.2.5.1
========================================================================
- RTP TAP Bug fix
The driver was sending out invalid rtp tap header
http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-voice-rtp-tap
* Thu Apr 2 2008 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - Stable - 3.2.5
========================================================================
- T3/E3 Update
Fixed T3 Loopback commands
- Updated T3/E3 Driver
Performance improvement on T3/E3 drivers when handling
VOIP and Data traffic.
- Update ifconfig MTU change from protocol interface
* Thu Mar 6 2008 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - Stable - 3.2.4
========================================================================
- Updated for 2.6.24 kernels
TDM Voice (Zaptel) tested with 2.6.24 kernel.
Known issues: WAN protocols are broken for 2.6.24 kernels.
Its a compilation issue that will be fixed ASAP.
- TDM API bug fix
Check for max frame size on audio stream
- Updated for Zaptel 1.4.9
- AFT IRQ Throttling feature
This feature is use to protect the server from
terrible lines. In some cases a bad hdlc line can
cause thousands of interrupts per sec. Rx errors are now
throttled so that system does not get compromized.
- AFT RTP TAP Feature
RTP TAP Feature allows user to tap voice channels during
Asterisk-Zaptel/TMD API operation at the driver/kernel level.
Each voice stream is encapsulated in UDP/RTP header and transmitted over
neghbouring ethernet address directly from kenrel space.
Tapping 4E1s worth of voice channels adds estra 2% system load :)
http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-voice-rtp-tap
- AFT Software Ring Buffers on A200/A400 Analog Cards
This feature improves analog preformance under Asterisk/TDM API
mode. In particualr it improves faxing reliability and
minimizes frame slippage due to system load or bad incoming
clock from the line.
Note: All AFT T1/E1 cards have this feature in hardare :)

====================================================================
- Update for 2.6.22 kernel.
- wanrouter startup script update for redhat distros.
Fixes the issue on system shutdown, where wanpipe
module sometimes do not unload due to /var/lock/subsys/
lockfile check. This issue is only related or RedHat style distros.
* Tue Aug 15 2007 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - Beta - 3.1.4
====================================================================
- Added A101-SH old config support.
So onld A101u or A101c config file can be used with new A101-SH cards.
- Updated KATM support in the LIP Layer.
Used to connect Kernel ATM Layer to Wanpipe ATM AAL5 layer
over all AFT cards.
- Added a sanity checker for enabling HWEC.
Used to prevent duble hwec enable.
- Added wancfg_tdmapi configurator
- Updated SMG
* Mon Jun 30 2007 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - Beta - 3.1.3
====================================================================
- Update to Ocatsic Hardware Echo Canceler Library
Turned of the NOISE suppression because it can interfere
with faxes. If you faxes did not work properly on 3.1.2
release they will work fine with this one.
- Cleaned up the Setup installation script.
* Mon Jun 16 2007 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - Beta - 3.1.2
====================================================================
- Update to Octasic Hardware Echo Canceler library
This is a very important update that affects all AFT cards
with octasic hardware echo canceler. The new octasic update
fixes faxing/modem issues over octasic hwec. The previous
release contained a bug that limited the faxing/modem speeds
to 26k. The new update properly detects fax/modem and works
with full speed of 33k fax and 56k modem.
- A200/A400 Updated
This update fixes the offhook startup failure.
On startup if fxs is offhook driver will start correctly
- Wanpipe Startup order changed
The wanpipe startup scripts on bootup were previously
set too early "S03wanrouter". This caused unpredictable
behaviour on some systems. We have now moved wanrouter
startup on boot up to "S11wanrouter", after networking
code.
- Zaptel Adjustable Chunk Size Feature
Wanpipe drivers can work with 1,2,5 and 10ms
chunk size. Zaptel also supports this, however
the wct4xx driver breaks compilation when chunk
size is changed. ./Setup can how change the
zaptel chunk size for you and update zaptel
Makefiles to remove wct4xx driver out.
Zaptel with 1ms generates 1000 interrupts per sec
Zaptel with 10ms generates 100 interrupts per sec.
As you can see its a drastic interrupt performance
increase.
NOTE: This breaks software echo cancelation, but
its not needed since we have hwec.
* Fri Jun 06 2007 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - Beta - 3.1.1
====================================================================
- A101/2/4/8 (MAXIM) AFT Update IMPORTANT
A major bug fix for AFT Maxim E1 cards for E1 CRC4 Mode.
On some lines the E1/CRC4 mode causes line errors on
the telco side which results in PRI not coming up.
Symptiom: E1 is up (no alarms) on local side but pri is
not coming up! (Only in E1 CRC4 Mode)
- A101/2/4/8 (MAXIM) Mandatory Firmware Update
An echo canceler bug has been fixed for all AFT
MAXIM Cards A101/2/4/8dm. New firmware version is V31.
If you are running MAXIM cards with hwec wiht older
firmware version you must upgrade.
