= installing Asterisk on Alpine =

Asterisk is an open-source voip server. It can be used both with sip-clients as with phones and/or phonesystems.

''Note:''
We used Alpine version 1.1.3-beta8

== Installation ==

Booted from CD

Log in as root, no password needed
$ setup-alpine

Set hostname, network settngs and root-password
$ apk_add openssh asterisk

Make ssh run at bootup:
$ rc_add sshd

Configure asterisk, we copied settings from our previous install, on
Debian Sarge. The only change we had to make to our previous asterisk
config was:
$ vi modules.conf

under [modules], make sure
load => “res_musiconhold.so”
is loaded before other modules

Make asterisk run at bootup:
$ rc_add asterisk

== Zaptel ==

We use an isdn card to connect to our phone-center. It uses the zaptel
driver. To load all the needed modules we had to make the following
changes:
$ vi /etc/modules

Add the following modules:
zaphfc
zaptel
af_packet

$vi /etc/modules.conf

Add:
options torisa base=0xd0000
alias char-major-196 torisa
alias wctdm wcfxs
alias wct2xxp wct4xxp

== Wrapping up ==

Commit to floppy
$ lbu co floppy

Reboot to make sure you made no mistakes, done.

I prefer to reboot staright after installation. If I made a mistake, I rather find out now then in a couple of monts, when I will for sure have forgotton how I set it all up.

== Permissions ==

To run asterisk as user asterisk, we had to add asterisk to the dialout group:
$ grep asterisk /etc/group

dialout:x:20:root,asterisk

To be able to support sip dial-in clients, we run asterisk as root:
$ vi /etc/conf.d/asterisk

And set:
ASTERISK_USER="root:root"

See also issues

== Issues ==

For sip clients to call in we had have to run Asterisk as root, this needs to be fixed. Asterisk on alpine runs as root out of the box.

== Memory-usage ==

$ free

<pre>
total used free shared buffers

Mem: 185824 51772 34052 0 184

Swap: 0 0 0

Total: 185824 51772 134052
</pre>

==Call logging==

To log phonecalls to a csv-file, edit : /etc/asterisk/modules.conf
$ vi /etc/asterisk/modules.conf

And add load => cdr_csv.so:
<pre>
;
; Asterisk configuration file
;
; Module Loader configuration file
;

[modules]
autoload=no

load => cdr_csv.so
etc
</pre>

Now your logs will be in ''/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv''
