<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3 face=Courier><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Courier'>It's a trickle-up methodology.<br>
<br>
The low level driver interprets the voltage change<br>
or the bits flipping or whatever and turns it into<br>
driver specific events which in turn are changed<br>
into openzap specific events by the zap_<whatver>.c<br>
zap_zt.c, zap_pika.c etc. when you apply a signaling<br>
to a span in the mod_openzap config the signal specific<br>
module will monitor the span for these events and decide<br>
what they mean in reference to whatever signaling type<br>
it represents.<br>
<br>
<font color=navy><span style='color:navy'><o:p></o:p></span></font></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=2 color=blue
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'> Okay,
so the driver-specific events get captured and translated… Makes sense. Curious:
does this all happen at OSI layer 2?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3 face=Courier><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Courier'><br>
so<br>
<br>
voltage changes on zaptel card<br>
<br>
zaptel specific ring event is caught by zap_zt.c<br>
<br>
openzap ring event is queued on the channel and<br>
event data flag is set on the span.<br>
<br>
zap_analog.c sees the event data flag and gets the <br>
ring event on the channel<br>
<br>
ring event is sent up to mod_openzap who starts a channel<br>
in freeswitch.<br>
<br>
<br>
so implementing another sig type like e&m just requires<br>
zap_em.c and proper interpretation of the bit shifting <br>
events. I belive zaptel drivers and pika <br>
can do it but I don't know if the native sangoma can yet.<br>
<br>
</span></font><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:blue'>I think I get it. Next question: on a
digital span that is set up in the <analog spans> section of
openzap.conf.xml – does zap_analog.c do the signal translation even
though the span is technically digital? It almost sounds like
zap_analog.c is agnostic to the analog/digital nature of the span simply
because it’s receiving events from the driver via openzap… Last
question: if zap_analog.c is handling the translation of FXO/FXS signaling then
couldn’t we almost just copy zap_analog.c to zap_em.c and then redefine
the bit patterns that represent on-hook, ringing, hangup, etc.? Or am I oversimplifying
again? ;)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the zaptel drivers do support E&M, E&M wink, etc. I’ve used

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>First, I was reading in Matthew Gast’s <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>T1 – A Survival Guide</span></i> about
channelized T1’s and channel associated signaling. Just to make
sure I am understanding it correctly – CAS and robbed bit essentially
refer to the same thing on a channelized T1 don’t they? The bits
that are robbed include the signaling bits – AB or ABCD depending on
whether you have SF or ESF. Please confirm if I am understanding this
correctly.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Second, aren’t FXO and FXS signaling on a digital
channel really just a matter of interpreting the meanings of the A and B bits
being high or low? Obviously there isn’t an actual loop start or
ground start on a digital channel, but rather just a nomenclature for deciding
that a particular combination of A and B bits being high and/or low has a meaning,
like A high + B low means on-hook in one signaling type but could mean ringing
in another signaling type. Again, correct me if I’m wrong…</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Third, if FXO/FXS signaling is just a matter of manipulating
the AB bits in CAS, then shouldn’t it be relatively easy to add E&M
signaling since that is essentially just another set of meanings for each AB
bit pattern? Or am I oversimplifying it?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Last question – how does OZ, in zap_zt.c, determine
the signal start type? (E.g. see code starting at line 87.) AFAIK
it is not set in openzap.conf.xml nor in openzap.conf. Does it get that
info from the zaptel driver? I know the start type is set in zaptel.conf,
I just didn’t know if the OZ was smart enough to figure out the start
type without requiring the user to specify it in a conf file.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
