1.2 What is G400P
G400P is a 4-channel (slots) PCIGSMcard and works in the GSM
network. One GSMmodule supports one SIM card. The 3rd generation
module based on chan_extra driver for OpenVoxGSM cards support
3G(WCDMA). With the new module, users easily get the best stability in
voice and SMS function
It allows users to choosethe amount of modules and SIM cards according
to their specific requirements. G400P can be implemented in Asterisk
PBX and GSMnetwork. Through this implementation, users will realize
to make an Asterisk PBX with flexibility and mobility perfectly.
Targetapplications

2.1 Powersupply
Please take particular attention to powersupply connection. There are
two alternatives allow users to select a power supply.
1. Using 12V external DC, you should adjust the jumper J3 to 1;
2. Using Molex connectorby setting the jumper J3 to 2 as figure 3.

2.2 Slot compatibility
G400P is compatible with 32-bit 5.0V PCI slot (slot2), 64-bit 3.3V PCI
slot (slot3), and 64-bit 5.0V PCI slot (slot 4), while it is not fit for PCI-E
slot. You should confirm your slot type, and then insert G400P into a PCI
slot. PCI and PCI-E slots are showed as follows:

2.3 Indication LEDs
There are 4 LEDs on the board. Each one indicates the working status of
each SIM card. The detail explainations are as followings:
LED off: SIM card does not work
64ms On/800ms: SIM card does not find the network(64ms
On/800ms means the LED is light on 64ms then go out 800ms)
64ms On/3000ms:SIM card finds the network
64ms On/300ms: GPRScommunication
In addition, there are two LEDs located at the bottomof the board which

are D8 and D9, under normal circumstances, they are lit when powered
and D9 flashes more quickly than D8.
2.4 GSM modules and SIM cards
G400P supports 2G and 3G module, M20 is 2G module and WCD100 is
3G module, please go to here for modules’detail information. One GSM
module supports oneSIM card and one antenna, please plug a SIM card
into the back of a GSMmodule and activate it. For more details, please
refer to figure 3.
2.5 Introduction of main chipset
Designed for global market, M20 is quad-band GSM/GPRS engine that
works on frequencies, GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
With a tiny configuration of 35mm ×32.5mm ×2.95 mm, M20 can fit
almost all the spacerequirement in yourapplication, such as smart phone,
PDAphone, Car Phone,Wireless PSTN,and other mobile devices.
The M20 provides RF antenna interface. Customer’s antenna should be
located in the customer’s main board and connect to module’s antenna
pad through micro strip line or other type RF traces whose impendence
must be controlled in 50Ω.
The M20 is integrated with the TCP/IP protocol，Extended TCP/IP AT
commands are developed for customersto use the TCP/IPprotocoleasily,

Chapter 3 Software Installation and Configuration
3.1 Hardware detection
Detect hardware by executing command:
# lspci –vvvv
Check the outcome and confirm your system has recognized G400P. If it
has been recognized, the outputs information will be showed like that:
03:00.0 Class ff00: Unknown device 1b74:0100 (rev 01)
Subsystem: Unknown device 1b74:0104
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop-
ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=slow >TAbort-

Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 169
Region 0: Memory at febf0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Figure 6 Hardware detection
If G400P is not recognized by the system, you have to power off and take
out of the card, then try to insert it into another PCIslot.
3.2 Dependencies installation
Some dependencies are crucial, if any of them is absent, the software
installation process would not go through successfully. Let’s run "yum
install XX"(XX stands for the dependency’s name) to check the
availability of some dependencies.

# yum install gnutls-devel
# yum install gcc
# yum install gcc-c++
# yum install libxml2
# yum install libxml2-devel
If there is no kernel-devel sourcein the system, users
should run the following command to install the
kernel-devel to peer current kernel:
# yum install kernel-devel-`uname –r`
While if there is no matched kernel-devel found, you should download
matched RPMpackage to install it, or execute the following command to
update to the latest and stable kernel version:
# yum install kernel kernel-devel

After installed, please rebootyour machine to apply the new kernel and
install the dependencies. If the dependency has been installed, system
indicates that nothing to do which means you could go to next one
directly. Otherwise, the systemwill keep on installing it.
3.3 chan_extra, DAHDI and Asterisk installation
Go to OpenVoxofficial website to download chan_extra, the url link is:
http://www.chan-extra.org/download/releases/
Download chan_extra to the directory /usr/src/ in generally, and then
unzip it.
#_wget_http://www.chan-extra.org/download/release
s/chan_extra-1.XX.tar.gz
# tar –xvzf chan_extra-1.XX.tar.gz
Change to the directory chan_extra-1.XX (XX stands for chan_extra
version), then perform the specific command to install it.
# cd /usr/src/chan_extra-1.XX
# ./install.sh
After running the above commands, the script will check wether the
