[General] VoIP For Home Usage

[Majed B.]

I got it to change to UK mode! But that didn't fix the phone jack
replugging thing :/

The list of supported FXO modes is here:
/usr/src/dahdi/linux/drivers/dahdi/xpp/init_fxo_modes

before starting, stop asterisk then dahdi (in order):
amportal stop
service dahdi stop

add this line to /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/dahdi
options <card module name> opermode=UK

(Country name has to be in capital, just as it is written in the FXO
modes file above)

You can find your card's name by typing:
cat /proc/interrupts

You'll find something like this:
217:    2026435          0   IO-APIC-level  wctdm24xxp0

(217 is the IRQ number).

My card is: wctdm24xxp (notice: Remove the number at the end)

If you notice that your card has the same IRQ number as something else
in the list, change its PCI slot. If that doesn't work, disable
whatever is using that IRQ from the BIOS (serial ports, USB, ...etc.).

I changed it to both UK and KUWAIT modes but the phone jack replugging
issue wasn't solved:
root at pbx:~ $ dmesg | grep -i fx
Port 1: Installed -- AUTO FXO (UK mode)
Port 1: Installed -- AUTO FXO (KUWAIT mode)

And I'm not sure if the values for Kuwait are correct, but I'm gonna
keep it and try to find a solution for that replugging scam...

I installed the backup & restore module through the GUI, ran a backup
for system only and copied the file from: /var/lib/asterisk/backups/)
-- I deleted some directories that enlarged the file size but where
irrelevant to configs (modules, i18n, images, ..etc. from var/www)

So you can now create your own backup schedule, then put my attached
file and restore it, though I don't recommend you do that since your
card is different than mine.
