Please post this on the sourceforge mailing lists.  Kristian is 
discontinuing the old list.

As far as the change, is this a typo or a configuration change?  If it's 
a typo, we can fix it in the development environment and it will be 
fixed permanently when 0.4.5 is released (soon).  You can manually 
change the init script by mounting your root system rw, editing the init 
script for misdn, remounting the system ro.  Please clarify if this is a 
typo or not as isdn is not common in the US.

[Ingmar S. <is...@es...>]

Dear Alexander,

depending on your ISDN card, mISDN can only create a default template
for your configuration, when you the misdn-init script is executed.

I.e. if you run one of the cheap HFC-PCI cards (about 30 Euros), this
happens. If you have a Beronet 2,4,8 port card, you can at least specify
nt oder te mode by setting a hardware jumper.

In typical environments (te_ptmp) is is fine. That's why we made life
easy for the majority of users.

In your case do the following:

mount -t ext2 -o rw,remount /
vi /etc/init.d/asterisk
  search for 'misdn-init config' and comment this line out
mount -t ext2 -o ro,remount /

Now misdn-init config is not executed when asterisk starts and your
edited misdn-init.conf file remains untouched.

Note: this assumes you start your mISDN with ISDN_MODPROBE="MISDN" in
rc.conf.

If you have further questions, please write to
ast...@li.... Darrick already explained why.

Hope this helps,

Ingmar

Re: [Astlinux-users] How do I edit a permanent misdn-init.conf?

[Peter R. <pe...@ne...>]

Ingmar, Darrick, Alexander,

I can confirm that HFC-PCI works great also in "te_ptp" mode

unfortunately I could not use soekris/astlinux because it was impossible to
change it in this mode permanently via rc.conf

I have to do a basic asterisk installation on another pc.

I hope this problem will solved in the next release because astlinux is to
good and practical especially in combination with the soekris.

Kind regards,

Peter Roelandts

Re: [Astlinux-users] How do I edit a permanent misdn-init.conf?

[Ingmar S. <is...@es...>]

Hello Peter,

what is your issue that you cannot make the change for mISDN permanent?

All you have to do is to modify the startup scripts. That's all easy. If
you require to change a file on a ro filesystem ( / ), you just remount
the filesystem to rw, make the change and go back to ro.

I don't see any issue here.

Many people have done this already, so you should be able to do this as
well :) Only standard linux/unix knowledge is required.

cheers, Ingmar

Re: [Astlinux-users] How do I edit a permanent misdn-init.conf?

[Peter R. <pe...@ne...>]

Ingmar,

yes, you are right but you post that solution one day to late :(

in the mean time the installations is up and running :-)

and maybe it is better to wait for the next release,  then this value can be
set the proper way ;-)

For the moment my time is very limited to many projects to do heeelp  :-(((

anyway thanks for help, appreciate that very much !

Regards,

Peter

Re: [Astlinux-users] How do I edit a permanent misdn-init.conf?

[Ingmar S. <is...@es...>]

Hello Peter,

we have two options for starting the mISDN subsystem:

1.) the way we do it today

 pro: works out of the box for most common te_ptmp installations, no
knowledge about the misdn-init.conf file is required, no editing is required
 con: if you require a different mode, you have to edit the startup
script yourself in order that the config file does not get overwritten
after a reboot.

2.) we do not run misdn-init scan/config at the beginning, but put
instead a misdn-init.conf template on the rw partition and users can
adjust it to their needs.

 pro: reboot-safe, no config file editing required
 con: you must run 'misdn-init scan' manually before firsttime usage in
order to retrieve the proper settings for your card (all cards are
different...). The values of the output of the scan command must be
applied properly by hand to the misdn-init.conf file.

If we switch to 2.), I could imagine that other poeple complain that the
template misdn-init.conf does not reflect the proper settings of their
individual ISDN card(s) and they ask "what do I have to do to get it
running??" (note: some people run more than one card per system or have
2+ card running with different modes applied to different ports).

I still prefer the current way because all you have to do is to enable
it in rc.conf and it works just great for te_ptmp scenarios. If you need
advanced configuration, you should do the advanced configuration by
yourself. This assume you know what you are doing and then it's an easy
task.

We may want to put this information on the astlinux wiki. If people can
get information about how to make those changes, it would be fine. The
wiki would be a great place for that. So, who wants to write it up? ;)
It would be a summary of our recent few e-mails about mISDN.

cheers, Ingmar

Re: [Astlinux-users] How do I edit a permanent misdn-init.conf?

[Ingmar S. <is...@es...>]

Hi Alexander,

nice to hear that it is working now for you.

Regarding the autoguessing init script: complain to Beronet ;) They
developed it, it's part of mISDN.

However, I think, it is useful to get started. Once someone is more
familiar, he can poke around in the config files/scripts and adjust them
as needed. That's what you have done just now ;)

regards

Ingmar
