* Wed May 17 2007 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - 2.3.4-9
====================================================================
- Updated Zaptel 1.2.17 DCHAN Patch
- Hardware A101D and A101DX Support
- Added Maxim register debug in wanpipemon
- Update to SMG
* Wed Apr 23 2007 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - 2.3.4-8
====================================================================
- Important: AFT TDMV (ZAPTEL) Fix
A race condition existed on wanrouter startup.
If echo canceler startup delayed the startup long enough,
for T1/E1 line to come up, it was possible that zaptel
alarms would not be cleared.
- Important: AFT T1/E1 Front End update.
The AFT cards will not disable communications for minor
T1/E1 alarms. This has caused problems in the passed because
AFT cards were too strict in interpreting T1/E1 alarms.
- Added AFT/56K Line Loop Test feature in wanpipemon
After enabling digital loopback run line test to test
the device.:
wanpipemon -i w1g1 -c Tadlb
wanpipemon -i w1g1 -c Tlt
This option can be used with any T1/E1 AFT card as well as 56K,
with any wanpipe configuration.
- Hardware support for new AFT 301 Card.
The new T3 card has been redesigned to use common main board as
the rest of the AFT family. However, the driver remains identical.
- AFT T1/E1 Improved CAS Signaling Support
- Allow original A102 config to work with A102d cards.
- TDM API updated for unlimited number of /dev/wptdm devices.
- Updated the Hardware Echo Canceler with Noise suppression.
- New TDM Zaptel/TDM API installation Makefile to be used by linux power users.
Options:
make #buils all utilities and kernel modules
make install #installs utilities modules etc
- Fixed DCHAN patch for zaptel 1.2.13
KNOWS ISSUES:
-------------
- All cards with Maxim/Dallas front end chips do not support RBS signalling.
These include: A102d/A108d and new A104d with maxim/dallas chips.
The fix is in new beta 3.1.0 release.
* Wed Jan 31 2007 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - 2.3.4-7
====================================================================
- Removed a sanity check from AFT drivers
This check was added in 2.3.4-5 release.
Due to some imporant fixes in 2.3.4-5 this release was
rushed, and things like this happen. Sorry :)
* Wed Jan 31 2007 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - 2.3.4-6
====================================================================
- Bugfix for AFT Hardware Echo Voice cards
Bug introduced in 2.3.4-5 release.
The new feature "persistent hwec" released in 2.3.4-5 had a bug
that was apprent on wanpipe restarts.
Anyone running 2.3.4-5 release should upgrade.
If you are running 2.3.4-5 in production to fix this problem enable
the following option in [wanpipe] section of wanpipeX.conf.
TDMV_HWEC_PERSIST_DISABLE=YES
And restart all wanpipe cards using: wanrouter restart command.
Note this bug affects all AFT cards with hardware echo cancellation
and release 2.3.4-5.
For more info please contact Sangoma Support.
- Minor cosmetic update to wancfg_zaptel wanpipe/zaptel configurator.
* Mon Jan 22 2007 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - 2.3.4-5
====================================================================
- Updated support for A400 Analog card
This release will recognize the new A400
pci card info.
- Updated A200/A400 firmware updater
Takes into account the new A200 and A400 cards.
- AFT A301 T3/E3 Driver Update
Fixed a possible race condition
during startup/shutdown
- AFT A101/2 T1/E1 Driver Update
Fixed a possible race condition
during startup/shutdown
- AFT Hardware Echo Cancellation Persist Mode
The new default Echo Cancellation mode for all AFT cards.
If HWEC is enabled in wanpipe1.conf the Sangoma HWEC will
remain enabled all the time, even if the calls are not up.
Previously Asterisk enabled and disabled echo based on
zapata.conf and call state. This delay however caused minute
echo on call startup. In Persist mode, Sangoma HWEC will
always be enabled, thus users will get perfect quality 100%
of the time.
In order to configure WANPIPE card in NON-PERSIST mode one
has to enable TDMV_HWEC_PERSIST_DISABLE=YES option in [wanpipeX]
section of wanpipeX.conf.
In this mode Asterisk will be responsible for enabling/disabling
hardware echo canceler.
- LIP Layer Bug Fix.
This bug fix affects all WAN protocols for all AFT cards.
The bug was a race condition in startup code.
On a slow enough machine it was possible for an interface
to get stuck in disconnected mode during startup.
- Wanpipe Zaptel Configuration Utility
The new wancfg_zaptel utility is now a default way to
configure Sangoma cards for Zaptel. The wancfg_zaptel utility
will auto detect all Sangoma cards in your machine and create
wanpipe configuration files along with /etc/zaptel.conf. This way
the customer can concentrate on /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf only.
Run: /usr/sbin/wancfg_zaptel <enter>
Wizard like questions will lead you through whole
configuration process.
After wancfg_zaptel following files will be created:
/etc/wanpipe/wanpipe*.conf # All wanpipe config files
/etc/zaptel.con # Fully configured zaptel
* Tue Jan 9 2007 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - 2.3.4-4
====================================================================

must upgrade to 2.3.4-4.
- Updates for 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 kernels.

miss-handle a pending interrupt, which would caused system
instability.
- TDM API Update
Removed Zaptel dependency for A200/A400 cards when
running in TDM API mode only.
* Tue Dec 12 2006 Nenad Corbic <ncorbic@sangoma.com> - 2.3.4-3
====================================================================
- Bug fix on A301 T3/E3 Drivers

state after which no state changes are reported. Used to happend
on noisy lines.

Mishandling of skb buffers on rx stream could cause
unpredictable behavior on some systems.

use KERNEL instead of ATOMIC. The symptoms were on low
memory system wanrouter start could fail due to memory
allocation error when starting up large number of devices.
- TDM API polling bug fix
By default TDM API application uses rx and tx streams.
However in tx only mode, the select would fail to wakeup.
- A200 A400 Driver Bug Fix
If A200/A400 card are started with NO FXO/FXS modules
a kernel error is possible on some systems.

- LIP / AFT Layer Latency Optimization (LINUX Only)
By setting txqueuelen using ifconfig to value of 1
the LIP layer will re-configure the protocol and hw layer
for SINGLE tx buffer. This will improve overall latency.
- AFT (A101/2/4/8) Layer Latency Optimization
The SINGLE_TX_BUF=YES option in [w1g1] interface
section, configures the AFT hardware for single hw dma buffer
instead of a DMA chain. This option along with above
LIP layer latency option reduces driver/protocol latency
to theoretical minimum.
NOTE: In WAN/IP applications latency feature will increase
system load.
(5% to 20% depending on system and number of ports used)
