How to fix Dahdi-Wanpipe Drivers in ScopTEL

How to fix Dahdi-Wanpipe Drivers in ScopTEL

If you have updated your ScopTEL PBX server  to use a new CentOS kernel, it can sometimes happen that DAHDI/WANPIPE drivers need to be recompiled manually.

To verify if dahdi is properly compiled and working:
From ssh do: timertest
You should see a test result, if not then dahdi is not properly compiled. In this result timertest is functional.

[root@sip ~]# timertest
Opened timer...
Set timer duration to 8000 samples (1000 ms)
Waiting...
Timer Expired (999 ms)!
Timer Expired (1998 ms)!
Timer Expired (2999 ms)!
Timer Expired (4000 ms)!
^C
[root@sip ~]#

You can also check if dahdi is compiled on the active kernel with 'dkms status' and 'uname -a'.
dkms status will print the installation status on all installed kernels.
uname -a will print the active kernel version.

[root@sip ~]# dkms status
dahdi, 2.11.1-11.el7.scopserv, 3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64, x86_64: installed
wanpipe, 7.0.26-1.el7.scopserv, 3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64, x86_64: installed
[root@sip ~]#
[root@sip ~]# uname -a
Linux hostname 3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 31 23:36:51 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@sip ~]#


If you've been getting issues with Digital/Analog interfaces and drivers refuse to start, here's how to fix it.

To fix the problem, we’ll need to remove current installed drivers. So open an SSH connection to the server and execute the following commands:

service asterisk stop

service dahdi stop

rpm -e dahdi wanpipe dkms-dahdi dkms-wanpipe  --nodeps

Now that drivers are cleaned, you must reinstall drivers, this step will always download the latest version available on ScopServ RPM repositories.

You must execute this command from SSH to reinstall packages:

scopserv_yum install dkms-dahdi dkms-wanpipe -y

Finally, from the ScopTEL GUI, you must Commit configuration on the Telephony module.

Then it is recommended in SSH to do:

service dahdi start

service asterisk start

As you can see, the procedure for reinstalling  the DAHDI and Wanpipe drivers on your ScopTEL PBX is relatively simple.
