Important Note Regarding FreeSwitch® and FreeTDM® Support

Support for FreeSwitch and FreeTDM for Sangoma telephony card products are no longer provided by Sangoma. All FreeSwitch drivers and applications are provided as-is with no warranty.  

Sangoma was previously involved in the FreeTDM and FreeSwitch projects, but has refocused its development efforts primarily on Asterisk-based platforms including FreePBX. The information on this page and other FreeSwitch- and FreeTDB-related pages on the Sangoma Wiki has been retained for historical and reference purposes, but should not be relied upon as reflecting Sangoma's current development efforts or support policies.

freetdm.conf

All I/O related parameters are set in freetdm.conf.

 

[span wanpipe <span name>]

name => freetdm
trunk_type => <trunk type>
group => <group name>
<channel type>-channel => <physical span number>:<channels> 

 

span name: any string as long as the span name used in freetdm.conf and in freetdm.conf.xml are the same

trunk type: possible values are: fxs, fxo

group name: any string.
channel type: possible values are: fxs, fxo
physical span number: This should match the TDMV_SPAN  parameter in your /etc/wanpipe/wanpipeN.conf
channels: Specify which timeslots within this physical span you want to use.

 

freetdm.conf.xml

Unlike PRI and BRI, analog does not have signaling channels. So in this file, the user mentions which context will be assigned to which span.

<configuration name="freetdm.conf" description="FreeTDM Configuration">                 

<!-- General FreeTDM Configuration options -->
<settings>

<param name="crash-on-assert" value="no" />

</settings>

 

<!-- list of ANALOG spans -->
<analog_spans>

<span name="[span name]">

<!-- switch related parameters -->
<param name="dialplan" value="XML" />
<param name="context" value="default" /> 

</span>

</analog_spans>
