<P>Here we see how to configure special hardware card in Linux and
|
|
Windows environment.

<H2><A NAME="ss6.1">6.1 Quicknet PhoneJack</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>As we saw, Quicknet Phonejack is a sound card with VoIP accelerating
|
|
capability. It supports:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>G.711 normal and mu/A-law, G.728-9, G.723.1 (TrueSpeech) and
|
|
LPC10.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Phone connector (to allow calling directly from your phone) or</LI>
|
|
<LI>Mic & speaker jacks.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>Quicknet PhoneJack is a ISA (or PCI) card to install into your
|
|
Pc box. It can work without an IRQ.
|
|
<H3>Software installation</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>Under Windows you have to install:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>Card driver</LI>
|
|
<LI>Internet Switchboard application (working only with Internet,
|
|
using newer Quicknet cards)</LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
<P>all downloadable from
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.quicknet.net">Quicknet web site</A><P>After Switchboard has been installed, you need to register to
|
|
Quicknet to obtain full capability of your card.
|
|
<P>When you pick up the phone Internet Switchboard wakes up and
|
|
waits for your calling number (directly entered from your phone),
|
|
you can:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>enter an asterisk, then type an IP number (with asterisks in
|
|
place of dot) with a # in the end</LI>
|
|
<LI>type directly a PSTN phone number (with international prefix)
|
|
to call a classic phone user. In this case you need a registration
|
|
to a gateway manager to which pay for time.</LI>
|
|
<LI>enter directly a quick dial number (up to 2 digits) you have
|
|
previously stored which make a call (IP or PSTN).</LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
<P>Internet Swichboard is h323 compatible, so if you can use, for
|
|
example, Microsoft Netmeeting at the other end to talk.
|
|
<P>Warning!! Internet Switchboard NEED to be connected to Internet
|
|
when used with newer Quicknet cards
|
|
<P>In place of Internet Switchboard you can use openh323 application
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.openh323.org/code.html">openphone</A> (using GUI) or
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.openh323.org/code.html">ohphone</A> (command line).

<P>Under Linux you have to install:

|
|
<LI>Card driver, from
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.quicknet.net">Quicknet web site</A>. After downloaded you have to compile it (you
|
|
must have a /usr/src/linux soft or hard link to your Linux source
|
|
directory): type make for instructions.</LI>

<LI>Application

<H2><A NAME="ss6.2">6.2 Quicknet LineJack</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>This card is very similar to the previous, it supports also gateway
|
|
feature.
|
|
<P>We only notice that we have to
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.quicknet.net/code.html">download</A> PSTNGx application (for Linux
|
|
and Windows) or we use Internet Switchboard to gateway feature.
