I am running Asterisk@home on one of my systems here. It uses Centos 4.2. It does NOT have a GUI interface. Command line only at console or via SSH (yeah, I know that I was working on another server to get GUI tools working through SSH, but I am NOT going to muck with AAH build).
yum update is potentially dangerous, when it replaces the kernel. You can loose all of your Zaptel driver setups and have to rebuild them. This is a given, the first time you install AAH and run yum update....
Now at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk%40Home+Handbook+Wiki+Chapter+3
I was instructed to use NETCONFIG to setup up my network information. Well it did for eth0, but not for eth1.
So question #1 is how to use netconfig to setup eth1 without messing with eth0.
---- don't know - never used it.
try...
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth1
and then edit ifcfg-eth1 to your liking ----
#2) NETCONFIG did not setup my hostname and domain. I had to go in with VI to resolv.conf and sysconfig/network. Is there a tool for this?
---- simply edit /etc/sysconfig/network
change the hostname to anything you want it to be - suggest that you make sure this entry also exists in /etc/hosts
Also when using 2 eth devices per above, set the gateway address here...
GATEWAYDEV=eth0 # fix for your situation GATEWAY=ip_addr_of_gateway ----
#3) How do I figure out which board is which. Other than looking at the MAC address and using PCISNIFFER to then relate that to one of the boards (well, one 'builtin'). Also how do I determine which board is using which IRQ.
---- dmesg|less
or
lspci -vv ----
#4) Finally how can I change which IRQ a board is using. As one of the boards is using the same IRQ as one of my Zaptel clone cards (Tigerjet chips according to PCISNIFFER).
#4 leads into the 'more'.
This system has TWO FXO clone cards. One is working in AAH, the other AMP does not see. Asterisk CLI flags one as "alarm" RED. and does not report the IRQ of either board.
#5) How do I figure Centos has configured these two cards, and what IRQs are used and maybe how to change the IRQs.
#6) Then how to get genzaptelconf to properly configure this card.
---- can't help with the last 4 - perhaps the asterisk lists might be of more help
