    Sangoma Transcoder Driver Installation

    Guide for Elastix


    To install the Sangoma Transcoder D100 for Single Server,
    1. Place the Sangoma Transcoder Card into the Elastix Server.
    2. Power on Elastix Server and log in as root on the command line.
    3. Install libxml2-devel
    yum install libxml2-devel
    4. Update libxml2
    yum update libxml2
    5. Download the correct sngtc driver for your Elastix Server from
    http://wiki.sangoma.com/ . In this example the file containing the driver is sng-tclinux-1.3.3.2.i686.tgz. From any directory, type:
    wget ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/linux/transcoding/sng-tc-linux-1.3.3.2.i686.tgz
    tar xfz sng-tc-linux-1.3.3.2.i686.tgz
    cd sng-tc-linux-1.3.3.2.i686
    6. Install Transcoding Package, type:
    make
    make install
    7. Configure the Sangoma Transcoder ethernet device (D100) by setting an IP Address
    that is in different network than your local LAN. Leave gateway IP empty. The
    PCIe version will appear as a Broadcom NIC and the PCI will show up as a Micrel
    NIC. e.g.: ipaddress=10.1.1.1 netmask=255.255.255.0
    8. Transcoding Module Installation. In the same directory type the following:
    make asterisk
    make install
    9. Transcoding Module Configuration. Run the configuration command and follow the
    interactive interface:
    sngtc_cfg --server --asterisk
    10. Edit the /etc/asterisk/sangoma_codec.conf file and add the following line:
    allownondahditiming=yes

    11. Start the SNGTC server


    sngtc_server_ctrl start
    12. Go to asterisk CLI and load the codec_sangoma.so module:
    asterisk r
    module load codec_sangoma.so

    Now you are ready to use it. By default the only registered codec is g729. If you want to
    register more codecs translations go to:

    To install the Sangoma Transcoder D100 for Distributed Server,


    This kind of installation consists on a server where the D100 transcoder is placed and
    the clients that are machines running Elastix. Elastix Server sends the request of
    translation through Asterisk to the server with D100 transcoder and then it sends the
    translation session back to Elastix.
    From the transcoding server (with D100),
    1. Download the Sngtc driver and install it:
    wget ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/linux/transcoding/sng-tc-linux-1.3.3.2.i686.tgz
    tar xfz sng-tc-linux-1.3.3.2.i686.tgz
    cd sng-tc-linux-1.3.3.2.i686
    make
    make install
    2. Install the ethernet driver
    cd sng-tc-linux-1.3.3.2.i686/server/eth_driver
    ./install.sh
    3. Configure the Sangoma Transcoder ethernet device (D100) by setting an IP Address
    that is in different network than your local LAN. Leave gateway IP empty. The
    PCIe version will appear as a Broadcom NIC and the PCI will show up as a Micrel
    NIC. e.g.: ipaddress=10.1.1.1 netmask=255.255.255.0

    4. Run the configuration command


    sngtc_cfg --server
    5. The previous step will generate the /etc/sngtc/sngtc_server.conf.xml file. The
    sngtc_server must be configured to listen on all Ethernet interfaces in order to
    receive transcoding requests from the remote transcoding clients. Edit this file and
    add the following lines inside the configuration tag:
    <settings>
    <param name="bindaddr" value="0.0.0.0" />
    <param name="bindport" value="9000" />
    </settings>
    6. Now you have to enable IP forwarding in order to allow rtp stream to be forwarded
    by the ethernet device located on the transcoder hardware (ex. 10.1.1.1), which will
    then be routed by the machine's routing table. Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and add
    the following line or set it if it already exists:
    net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
    7. To enable changes run the following command:
    sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf
    8. Start the Sngtc Server by typing:
    sngtc_server_ctrl start
    From the clients running Elastix,
    9. Download the Sngtc driver and install it
    wget ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/linux/transcoding/sng-tc-linux-1.3.3.2.i686.tgz
    tar xfz sng-tc-linux-1.3.3.2.i686.tgz
    cd sng-tc-linux-1.3.3.2.i686
    make asterisk
    make install
    10. Run the configuration command:
    sngtc_cfg --asterisk
    11. The previous step will generate the /etc/asterisk/sangoma_codec.conf file. Edit this
    file and add the following lines:

    Sangoma Transcoder D100 Installation Guide for Elastix

    allownondahditiming=yes
    soapserver= <LAN IP of machine with transcoder>:<Port of machine with transcoder>
    rtpip= <LAN IP of Asterisk sngtc client>
    Port machine with transcoder is the bindport you set on the Sngtc Server.

    12. Add a route on routing tables to reach the Sngtc Server from the Sngtc
    Client.
    route add -net 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw <LAN IP of machine with
    transcoder> dev <ethX> , where "ethX" represents the ethernet device of Client Host
    main LAN
    Note: 10.1.1.0 is the network which the Transcoder Ethernet device was configured.

    13. Start the Sngtc Server by running the following command:


    sngtc_server_ctrl start
    14. Go to Asterisk CLI, and load the codec sangoma module:
    module load codec_sangoma.so

    Now you are ready to use it. By default the only registered codec is g729. If you want to
    register more codecs translations go to:
