Please ensure that /proc/zaptel exists and that there are enaught rights to /dev/zap/* for your asterisk process.

Configure Layer1 and Layer2 parameters

This parameters are set by /etc/zaptel.conf (change xx to your country code (eg. uk or de). Disable crc4 if your operator or PBX does not support it. Next important thing is WHO will be master of clocks. In most situations, networtk part will act as clock source, but ask your operator, if you should be master or not. Misconfiguration of this will do strange errors in framing.

zaptel.conf

loadzone = xx
defaultzone = xx

# PRI TE
span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4  ; I am clock master
;span=1,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4; Remote side is clock master
bchan=1-15
dchan=16
bchan=17-30

Next, we have to setup SIP side of our gateway. We will do this in /etc/asterisk/sip.conf. We will not allow unauthenticated clients (we will route them into context guest, see above). Set your realm and domain to something usefull which should be unique. Putting your real domain there is realy good point of start. But remember, this domain and realm setting has to corespond to settings in client, see above. Only opensource codecs are enabled by default. If you buy or own g.729 codec, you can enable it. Again, set language to fit your needs. Localnets are defined to better recognisation of NAT. Lines starting with jb are turning on jitterbuffer which is good to enable. Next, we define phones which we will registeruse. In example, we use 3-digit dialplan and we are starting with number 200. Define next sip clients to fit your needs. It is good if username corespond with peer name (name in []). It is possible to use database for storing SIP users, which is better for bigger systems, but it is not scope of this document. See http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+RealTime+Sip or http://www.sineapps.com/news.php?rssid=1105 for more informations.
