= DAHDI Linux and Tools =
Just as you normally would, download the DAHDI Linux and Tools package, either individually or as a package.  Make sure you install LibPRI first as you still need this library.

The main difference when configuring your span is instead of using span you will use dynamic.
<pre>
dynamic=ethmf,em3/00:50:C2:65:DC:82/0,31,0
</pre>
* ethmf is the interface used.  Redfone specific
* em3 is the interface on my Linux system that will be communicating with Redfone device.  The device has a default IP of 192.168.1.254.  If the device is dual span capable then it will have a second IP of 192.168.1.253.  Configure the NIC with a 192.168.1.x/24 IP address so it can communicate with the device
* 00:50:C2:65:DC:82 is the MAC address of the network card in your Linux system that will be communicating with the Redfone device.
* 0 I’m not sure what this is.  I think if you have more than 1 span it will be the span that you want to use.
* 31 is the number of channels that the span is capable of.  T1 is 24 and E1 is 31.  If you are only use 10 channels still enter the number that the T1/E1 is capable of.
* 0 is the timing.

An example of my /etc/dahdi/system.conf file is:
<pre>
dynamic=ethmf,em3/00:50:C2:65:DC:82/0,31,0
bchan=1-10
dchan=16
mulaw=1-10
</pre>

= fonulator prerequisites =
For simplicity I use rpmforge otherwise you will have to source the following packages as they are not include in the distribution.

== install rpmforge ==
<pre>
rpm -Uhv http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
</pre>

== prerequisites ==
<pre>
yum -y install libpcap libpcap-devel libnet 
</pre>

== argtable ==
Argtable is part of rpmforge but for some reason I could not get fonulator to accept this version of argtable so I used the version  from redfone.
<pre>
wget http://support.red-fone.com/downloads/tools/argtable2/argtable2-8.tar.gz
tar -xvf argtable2-8.tar.gz
cd argtable2-8
./configure
make
make install
</pre>

If you are using a 64 bit distribution then I had to copy the libargtable2* files to /usr/lib/ as when I went to build fonulator it could not find the files even though they were installed.
<pre>
scp /usr/local/lib/libargtable2* /usr/lib/
</pre>

== install libfb ==
<pre>
wget http://support.red-fone.com/downloads/fonulator/libfb-2.0.2.tar.gz
tar -xvf libfb-2.0.2.tar.gz
cd libfb-2.0.2
./configure
make
make install
</pre>

= install fonulator =
<pre>
wget http://support.red-fone.com/downloads/fonulator/fonulator-2.0.3.tar.gz
tar -xvf fonulator-2.0.3.tar.gz
cd fonulator-2.0.3
./configure
make
make install
</pre>

= download redfone.conf =
<pre>
cd /etc
wget http://support.red-fone.com/downloads/fonulator/redfone.conf
</pre>

== Edit /etc/redfone.conf ==
Enter the servers MAC address into server=
remark span 2, 3 and 4.

Here is an example of my file.
<pre>
[globals]
fb=192.168.1.254
port=1
# Which Asterisk server destination MAC address for TDMoE Traffic?
server=D4:BE:D9:EF:F8:FD

# Determines which span is to derive timing from telco
priorities=0,1,2,3
#
# E1 PRI SPAN WITH CRC4
[span1]
framing=ccs
encoding=hdb3
crc4
</pre>
