Guys, I have FreePBX Stable-6.12.65, Release Date-2014, FreePBX 12, Linux 6.5 and
Asterisk 11. Is Chan_dongle installed by default or should I install it to be able to connect some GSM USB dongles? If there is the need to instalation is there any step by step procedure available?
kind regards
Please?
kind regards
Let´s Go:
Firist:
yum -y install tcl asterisk11-devel make automake binutils
usb_modeswitch-1.2.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm and usb_modeswitch-data-20120120-1.el6.rf.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh usb_modeswitch-1.2.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm usb_modeswitch-data-20120120-1.el6.rf.noarch.rpm
cd /usr/src
wget https://github.com/jstasiak/asterisk-chan-dongle/archive/asterisk11.zip
unzip asterisk11.zip
cd asterisk-chan-dongle-asterisk11
aclocal && autoconf && automake -a
./configure
make
make install
cp chan_dongle.so /usr/lib64/asterisk/modules/
cp etc/dongle.conf /etc/asterisk
vim /etc/udev/rules.d/92-dongle.rules and insert this => KERNEL==“ttyUSB*”, MODE=“0666”, OWNER=“asterisk”, GROUP=“uucp”
vim /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf and insert this: rungroup = dialout
asterisk -vvvvvvvvr
CLI: module load chan_dongle.so
Thanks for the reply!
Will this change any configuration I already have in my asterisk + freePBX?
kind regards
After installing chan_dongle.so, will have to change the rules of outgoing , usually in extensions_custom.conf
But will this update change any of my actual extensions, trunks or any other configurations I have done on asterisk so far?
kind regards
There is no update in this case , but installation asterisk11 -dev package.
It is your criterion using chan_dongle , so went through the installation method I use . Misconfiguration can compromise your PBX .
[root@localhost ~]# sudo rpm -ivh usb_modeswitch-1.2.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm usb_modeswitch-data-20120120-1.el6.rf.noarch.rpm

what am I doing wrong?
got it!!
I found the files online and downloaded them before installing:
wget usb_modeswitch-data-20120120-1.el6.rf.noarch.rpm
wget http://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/usb_modeswitch-1.2.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
After following all the steps as suggested I got when I go lsusb:

It seams that my E160E gsm modem is OK so far…
[root@localhost ~]# ls /dev/ttyUSB*
/dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1
when I go to asterisk console I get error messages:

When I send: dongle show devices I get:

Check the permissions on
/dev/ttyUSB*
[root@localhost usr]# ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw-rw- 1 asterisk uucp 188, 0 Dec 4 19:06 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw-rw- 1 asterisk uucp 188, 1 Dec 4 19:06 /dev/ttyUSB1
A lot of people is running Asterisk as “asterisk” user. This may cause
chan_dongle not detecting USB modems properly. In that case, you need to
give permissions for ttyUSB ports. You can do that automatically by
creating file /etc/udev/rules.d/92-dongle.rules and adding:
KERNEL==“ttyUSB*”, MODE=“0666”, OWNER=“asterisk”, GROUP=“uucp”
Other posible solution is to set runuser/rungroup settings in asterisk.conf file.
rungroup = dialout
Thanks. Problem solved!!
are you brazilian jerson? is there a linux distribution with chan_dongle included?
Yes! beaglebone-asterisk dot org. You can install a GSM VoIP Gateway with Chan_dongle by running a single script: install-dongle
But, You need a BeagleBone Black or a RaspPI board
I am Brazilian! Which distribution you want to use? Chan_dongle works well in FreePBX 12.
Hello , could someone point me to the chan_dongle for Asterisk 12 and ubuntu 14.04 ?
