Chapter 2: Card Installation
Software Installation
Digium hardware requires drivers and libraries that are integrated with the
Linux kernel. The Analog 410 Series cards are only supported under
Linux. Digium, Inc. recommends Debian, Fedora, and Red Hat. You can
obtain the source code from downloads.digium.com
. Detailed instructions
are provided in this section.
Note: Please refer to asterisk.org for an introduction to Asterisk, its
configuration and features, and set up and use of Zaptel channels.
To install your Analog 410 Series card, you will need:
 Full Linux kernel 2.6 (or later) source code.
 Development libraries and headers for libncurses (only necessary for
Asterisk).
 Development libraries and headers for zlib and openssl.
 GCC and standard build tools.
 Development libraries and headers for libnewt (only necessary for
Zaptel).
 If you are using the 1.4.x series of Asterisk and Zaptel, you will need
Asterisk 1.4.20 or newer and Zaptel 1.4.11 or newer. If you are using
Asterisk Business Edition, you will need version C.1 or newer.
Note: It is recommended that you use the most recent version of the
Asterisk and Zaptel distributions for the best results.
Note: If you already have both Asterisk and Zaptel installed, you will
need to upgrade to the latest version of both.
