.SH NAME
|
|
dahdi_span_types \- set DAHDI spans properties before registration (E1/T1)
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.B dahdi_span_types <list|dumpconfig|set> [\fIdevpath \fB[\fIdevpath \fB...]]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The span type (E1/T1/J1) must be set to a span before registering it
|
|
with DAHDI, as E1 spans use more channels. \fBdahdi_span_types\fR applies the
|
|
span type configuration to an unregistered span.
|
|
|
|
Using it only makes sense when the kernel module parameter
|
|
\fBdahdi.auto_assign_span\fR is unset, otherwise the DAHDI spans register
|
|
automatically.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.B dahdi_span_types
|
|
takes a command and an optional list of devices. If no device is given,
|
|
the command is applied to all devices.
|
|
|
|
The device is marked as a path in the SysFS tree.
|
|
|
|
.B set
|
|
.RS
|
|
Reads settings from \fBspan-types.conf\fR and applies them to the
|
|
device(s) specified in the command line (or all devices, if none
|
|
specified).
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
.B list
|
|
.RS
|
|
List types for all spans in the system which may be set with dahdi_span_types
|
|
(E1/T1/J1 spans).
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
.B dumpconfig
|
|
.RS
|
|
List types for the spans in a format fit to be used in
|
|
\fBspan-types.conf\fR. Use this to generate a configuration file after
|
|
you have (perhaps manually) set all existing spans.
|
|
|
|
.B dahdi_genconf spantypes
|
|
uses this command internally.
|

|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
.B span-types.conf
|
|
is a file with lines specifying registration of spans.
|
|
|
|
Empty lines or lines beginning with '#' are ignored.
|
|
|
|
Each line is in the format of:
|
|
|
|
.I ID spanspec ...
|
|
|
|
The \fIID\fR field specifies the DAHDI device and the \fIspanspecs\fR
|
|
define how to register its spans. A line may have multiple
|
|
\fIspanspecs\fR in a single line (though dumpconfig generates a
|
|
configuration with one per line).
|
|
|
|
.SS Span Identifier
|
|
A DAHDI device may be specified either by a hardware identifier (a
|
|
software readable serial number or whatever) or the location in which
|
|
it is installed on the system. The former makes it simpler to change
|
|
connector / slot whereas the latter makes it simpler to replace a unit.
|
|
|
|
The value in this field is matched (when the commands \fBadd\fR and
|
|
\fBremove\fR) are used) to the following values:
|
|
|
|
\fIhwid\fR
|
|
\fB@\fIlocation\fR
|
|
\fIdevpath\fR
|
|
|
|
See above for their descriptions. The value may include shell wildcards:
|
|
*, ? and [], which are used in the match. The values to be matched are
|
|
first cleaned up: '!' is replaced with '/' and any character beyond
|
|
"a-zA-Z0-9/:.-" is removed.
|
|
|
|
.SS Span Specification
|
|
|
|
Each line should have one or more span specifications: this is the value
|
|
used to register a span with DAHDI in the SysFS interface. A
|
|
specification has three colon-separated numbers:
|
|
|
|
.I rel_span_no:span_type
|
|
|
|
for instance, the following are four span specifications specify ports 1 and 2 as E1 and ports 3 and 4 as T1: [12]:E1 [34]:T1 .
|
|
|
|
.B rel_span_no
|
|
.RS
|
|
The relative number of the span in the device. E.g.: port number.
