Sangoma A101 Shows Up as Wrong Device On FreePBX Distro

After installing a Sangoma TDM card (the A101DE, a 1 port pci-e PRI card) on a FreePBX Distro system, I noticed that the system was detecting the wrong card... 

lspci showed something like:

02:04.0 Network controller: Sangoma Technologies Corp. A200/Remora FXO/FXS Analog AFT card

 
After looking around for quite a while, I decided that I wanted to run this card through DAHDI and not through the standalone system that I've used for years with Asterisk. The goal was to make this card managed as much as possible using the GUI.

Here are the steps I had to take:


1. Update the drivers in the OS:

sudo yum update dahdi*

sudo yum update kmod-dahdi-linux

sudo yum install wanpipe

2. Configure the card:

sudo depmod -a

3. which requires a reboot 

sudo shutdown -r now

 4. Now, get wanrouter to load the right kernel module

sudo wanrouter hwprobe

5. configure the card:

sudo wancfg_dahdi      

Your configuration here will vary. Make sure it lists the card you have. This script really just ends up calling the setup-sangoma script. You'll have to choose what's appropriate for your system. Note: I selected the option at the end to simply save the config files and not restart the modules, as I found that the option to restart the modules failed.

You'll want to make wanrouter/wanpipe start on boot (yet another script question.)

6. reboot, again

sudo shutdown -r now 

7. Go into the GUI to settings -> dahdi config -> sangoma and enable DAHDI management of Sangoma

8. reboot the system

sudo shutdown -r now

Now, you should see the right card in the DADHI section of the GUI.
