FA40 Description

In most of the time, users need to reconnect the PSTN line to analog telephone to get it work when the PBX Server becomes power off. It may cause only a little extra work for people who use simple and small PBX servers. But for those who run complex PBXs in server rooms, it becomes real problems.

How to eliminate this problem? The release of OpenVox FA40 failover box for analog line answers it. The FA40 can automatically switch the PSTN line to analog telephone when the power of the PBX server has been cut off and will automatically switch back to normal when the power is on again. In this way, no more worries about getting the PSTN line connected to the telephone when the server is down.

FA40 is controlled through an Asterisk loadable module res_failover.so. This module keeps sending “running” signal to FA40 when Asterisk is running. Once Asterisk is down or system power is cut off, the module will not be able to send out the “running” signal to FA40 and thus FA40 will automatically switch to the standby telephone.

FA40 provides a reliable and flexible solution to Asterisk PBX.

Device Driver Detection

The device driver of FA40 has been integrated with many Linux distributions. Users can run the following command to see if the FA40 has been recognized or detected by the system. (Please connect the FA40 to the server with attached USB cable that comes together with the product. Note: Please make sure that all the lights are on by switching the on-of button when the FA40 is connected to the server.)

# dmesg | grep FTDI

[root@lytest ~]# dmesg | grep FTDI drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device ftdi_sio 3-1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected usb 3-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSBO drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: v1.4.3:USB FTDI Serial Converters D river

User can also run the Isusb command to check if the FA40 device is connected.

Explanation of Configuration Files

[openvox_failover_1]
device=/dev/ttyUSB0
;kick_time_interval=4000
;event_cmd=logger
;autorun=yes 

[openvox_failover_2]
device=/dev/ttyUSB1
kick_time_interval=500
event_cmd=logger
autorun=no 

• [openvox_failover_1]: Name of FA40 Device, to distinguish from different devices, a must to configuration;
  ● device=/dev/ttyUSB0: Name of USB device that FA40 uses, a must to configuration;
• kick_time_interval: the time interval of software watch dog; the default time is 4000ms, user can customize the time with 100ms for Minimum and 9000ms for Maximum;
• event_cmd: event command, the default is logger, it will record the FA40 status in system log;
• autorun: this decides if FA40 will start when asterisk boots; the default is yes which means the FA40 starts when asterisk boots; if no, the FA40 will not start when asterisk boots and user may need manually boot the device by running failover start command.

Steps to Use

1) Start asterisk

asterisk -vvvgc

2) Start FA40 device

*CLI> failover start
or
*CLI> failover start 1 

# This command can start all the FA40 devices.

# This command can be use to start the first FA40. A difference number means to start a specific FA40 in the server.

3) Stop FA40 device

*CLI>f ailover stop # This command can stop all the FA40 devices.

or

*CLI> failover stop 1 # This command can be use to stop the first FA40. A difference number means to stop a specific FA40 in the server.

4) Show FA40 device information

*CLI> failover show # Show FA40 device information

5) Reload FA40 device configuration file

*CLI> failover stop # All the FA40 device must be stopped before reloading the configuration file

*CLI> failover reload # Reload the configuration file

Software Installation by the res\_failover.so

If you do not have the gcc compiler and the source code of the asterisk, you can also download the res_failover.so and use it directly as below.
