Since the FXM, BRI and TEJ boards integrate the capability of echo cancellation, there is no need
to get it from extra modules or devices. Compared with similar products from other companies,
they are higher in integration and stronger in echo cancellation. Therefore, for use of FXM, BRI or
TEJ boards, it is not necessary to purchase the VPMADT032 module (to enable echo cancellation)
from Digium Inc.
The Synway AST driver program, as a link between the board hardware and open source IP PBX
platform, is only used to set up the open source IP PBX platform, but not applicable to secondary
development. This manual, as the help file for hardware installation, software installation, test and
configuration of the Synway AST products, aims at those installation and maintenance technicians
as well as the salesmen who are using the AST boards to set up open source IP PBX application
systems.
This document consists of the following chapters.
Chapter 1 illustrates the IP PBX application models and scenarios set up by the Synway AST
series boards.
Chapter 2 introduces how to install the Synway AST series boards.
Chapter 3 tells how to install and configure the board driver.
Chapter 4 introduces the way of driver debugging.
Chapter 5 introduces multiple IP PBX platforms and recommends reference manuals for the
installation, configuration and testing of the SynAST driver on these platforms.
Appendix A provides answers to some problems that may occur when using the Synway AST
series boards.

Chapter 1
1.1 FXM
Overview
The driver for the Synway AST series boards (hereinafter referred to as ‘AST), which is compatible
and must be used with the Zaptel/Dahdi driver, can smoothly and seamlessly support open-source
IP PBX platforms.
When using the AST board to establish an open-source IP PBX platform, all that you should do is
configure and operate the open-source IP PBX platform, without secondary development by using
AST. See Figure 1-1 below for the set-up of the open-source IP PBX application system with the
AST board.
Figure 1-1 AST Driver Set-up
The Synway FXM series boards (hereinafter referred to as ‘FXM’) are analog voice boards newly
developed for open source IP PBX system. FXM are high-performance and cost-effective , which
support FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) and FXC (composite
module) and allow various configurations by using these three different modules to provide all
features and functionalities of common voice boards. The FXM boards improve I/O speed by using
DMA technique for data reading and writing on the basis of PCI bus, resulting in reduced CPU
usage and increased board density per server. Figure 1-2 below is a typical application model with
FXM.

1.2 TEJ
The Synway TEJ series boards (hereinafter referred to as ‘TEJ’) are digital trunks boards newly
developed for open source IP PBX system. The TEJ are high-performance, cost-effective digital
telephony interface boards and support E1, T1 and J1 environments. The environments are
selectable on a per-board basis via software configuration. The TEJ boards improve I/O speed by
using DMA technique for data reading and writing based on PCI bus, resulting in reduced CPU
usage and increased board density per server.
The excellent combination of the TEJ driver and the Asterisk platform brings the following features
to the TEJ series boards.
Supported Data Modes: Cisco HDLC, HDLC, PPP, Multi-link PPP, Frame Relay.

1.3 CDC
The Synway CDC series boards (hereinafter referred to as ‘CDC’) are CODEC boards newly
developed for open source IP PBX system. They are multi-channel boards with PCI 2.2 bus,
supporting the hardware-based transformations between voice codecs. With the burst data
transmission rate up to 132 MB/s and the PNP (plug and play) feature which eliminates the need
for jumper leads, this series can be used on 3.3V/5V PCI slot and PCI-X slot.
Asterisk, in software and with Digium G.729a licensing, is capable of transforming the G.729A
codec into other codecs for the purposes of call origination or termination, bridging disparate calls,
or VoIP to TDM connectivity. These transformations in software are very expensive, in terms of
MIPS, and require a substantial amount of CPU time to accomplish. The Synway CDC series uses
the PCI-based DMA technique for data reading and writing, minimizing the CPU cost. It is fully
compatible with the API functions of Asterisk and supports the transformations among G.711
A-Law, μ-Law and G.729A, which ideally cover the shortage of Asterisk. Besides, the CDC board
has many DSPs on it to provide powerful voice processing, which brings a nearly real-time voice
effect to users.

Chapter 3 Driver Installation & Configuration
SynAST is the driver software for the Synway AST series boards. Its compilation, installation and
configuration are all related closely to zaptel/dahdi and open source IP PBXs. So we suggest
those who are familiar with the installation and configuration of open-source IP PBXs use the script
in the installation package to complete the driver installation and configuration (see Section 3.1),
and suggest others refer to Chapter 5 All Manuals for You.
3.1
3.1.1
By Script
Note:
zDo not forget to install the kernel header file linux-headers while you are installing the LINUX
operating system. Besides, if the Synway AST series boards are installed in the Elastix or
Tribox system, make sure the Asterisk services are closed before you start the installation. You
may check by the command asterisk –r. If the Asterisk services are still running, close them by
the command #amportal stop to ensure the normal installation of the driver.
zSo far our driver supports the Dahdi Version 2.6 and below.
zThe BRI boards only support dahdi-2.4.x and above. Zaptel is not supported.
zDon’t forget to power on the board before using the BRI boards.
Based on Zaptel
First prepare the SynAST driver and zaptel software packages.

with the serial number listed in the front is loaded earlier. The file ‘/tmp/card_order’
can be used to configure the loading order for boards of different types. Enter the
board types by sequence, one for each line and without indent. Only upon
executing the command ‘./SynAST_driver_init’ or restarting the system does this
modification go into effect.
3.1.4 Automatic Configuration
There are two scripts for automatic configuration astcfg_dahdi and astcfg_zaptel in the driver
installation package. They can achieve the same purpose respectively as zapconf and
dahdi_genconf. You can use the following commands to configure the board.
If based on zaptel:
#>astcfg_zaptel asterisk
The following prompts appear:
******************************
Please select signaling
1 : ISDN
2 : SSI_unicall
3 : SS1_openr2
4 : SS7
******************************
Choose Number :
Enter one of the above numbers to configure the corresponding signaling.
Note:
1. The configuration based on Zaptel only supports ISDN and SS1_unicall, so you are
only allowed to enter the number 1 or 2,
2. SS7 configuration in Asterisk only supports no more than 4 signaling slots and
regards the 16th Time Slot as the signaling time slot by default.
3. When there is only analog board in the system, the prompts will be skipped and the
analog board will be configured automatically.
If based on dahdi:
#>astcfg_dahdi asterisk
The prompts and operations are the same as those for astcfg_zaptel; however, the configuration
based on Dahdi supports all the four signaling protocols mentioned above.

Manual Installation
Based on Zaptel
Step1: Install the zaptel driver
#cd /opt
# enter the directory to the package of zaptel source codes
#tar –zxvf zaptel-1.4.12.tar.gz
# decompress the source codes
#cd zaptel-1.4.12
# enter the directory to zaptel source codes
#./configure
#make
# compile the driver
#make install # install the driver
#modprobe zaptel # load the driver
Step2: Install the SynAST driver
#cd /opt # enter the directory to the package of SynAST source codes
#tar –zxvf SynAST-1.12.0.0.tar.gz # decompress the source codes
#cp –rf /opt/SynAST-1.12.0.0/zaptel/srcs/fxm/fxm8apci /opt/zaptel-1.4.8
# copy the fxm8apci driver to the zaptel directory. You should
copy a driver that corresponds to your used AST board (see
the table below to find each board model and its
corresponding driver) to replace the part ‘fxm/fxm8apci’ of this
command. If the zaptel version is above 1.4.11, where you
should copy to is /opt/zaptel-[version]/kernel.
#cd /opt/zaptel-1.4.8/fxm8apci # enter the directory to SynAST source codes in zaptel. If the
zaptel version is above 1.4.11, execute the command #cd
/opt/zaptel-[version]/kernel/fxm8apci.
Note: While using a zaptel above version 1.4.11 on CDC boards, you need to follow the path
‘/opt/zaptel-[Version]/kernel/cdcx522apci/Makefile’ to open the file ‘Makefile’ and add the
sentence ‘EXTRA_CFLAGS+= -DZAP1412’ to behind
‘EXTRA_CFLAGS:=-DSTANDALONE_ZAPATA -DBUILDING_TONEZONE’. To enable the
echo cancellation in hardware, modify the file ‘/opt/zaptel-1.4.8/fxm8apci/Makefile’,
changing it from EXTRA_CFLAGS:=-DSTANDALONE_ZAPATA -DBUILDING_TONEZONE
-D__TONE_DETECT__’ to ‘EXTRA_CFLAGS:=-DSTANDALONE_ZAPATA
-DBUILDING_TONEZONE -D__TONE_DETECT__ -D HWEC_OPEN’.

Note: When using other AST series boards except FXM-8A/PCI, you should refer to Table
3-1 to find the corresponding driver file and use the filename to replace the parts ‘fxm’ and
‘fxm8apci’ in the above commands. When using CDC series boards, you should first use
‘modprobe zttranscode’ to load the ‘zttranscode.ko’ module before loading the driver
‘cdcx522apci.ko’ for CDC boards, as the use of CDC boards relies on the ‘zttranscode.ko’
module.

Table 3-1 Board Model and Corresponding Driver
3.2.1.2 Based on Dahdi
Step1: Install the dahdi driver
#cd /opt
#enter the directory to the package of dahdi source codes
#cd dahdi
# enter the directory to dahdi source codes
#make
# compile the driver
#make install # install the driver
#modprobe dahdi # load the driver
Step2: Install the SynAST driver
Note: To publish a dahdi version, there are two ways: one is to publish driver and tools
together, and the other is to publish driver and tools separately. Here is a version for
which driver and tools are published together. For how to install those versions for
which driver and tools are published separately, see Appendix A FAQ.
Here we take the TEJ84 driver with DAHDI2.6 for example to show the manual installation.
#cd /opt # enter the directory to the package of SynAST source codes
#tar –zxvf SynAST-1.12.0.0.tar.gz # decompress the source codes
#cp –rf /opt/SynAST-1.12.0.0/dahdi/srcs/tej/tej84/opt/dahdi/linux/drivers/dahdi
# copy the tej84 driver to the dahdi directory
#cd /opt/dahdi/linux/drivers/dahdi/tej84
# enter the directory to SynAST source codes in dahdi
As in manual installation, the driver will not write the configuration items generated by
