FreePBX require that you configure your hardware card by hands before it can use it.
This example is with a TDM400P card from Digium. It should be about the same for other models.
===Goal===
The goal of this how-to is to explain how-to configure an hardware card supported by DAHDI drivers so it can be used with [[FreePBX]].

{{Note box|This example is with a TDM400P card from Digium. It should be about the same for other models.}}

===Insert the card===
The first step is of course to connect physicaly the card on your server

===Check the server detects it===
Now check your server can see the card with lspci
[root@sme ~]# lscpi
With the TDM400P, you should see something like:
00:0d.0 Communication controller: Tiger Jet Network Inc. Tiger3XX Modem/ISDN interface

===Remove useless drivers===
Edit the file /etc/dahdi/modules and comment all the driver you don't need (the file is well commented). For example, with the TDM400P card, the only driver needed is the wctdm

===Restart DAHDI===
run the following command to unload all the drivers, and load only the one(s) you need
/etc/init.d/dahdi restart

===Generate a basic configuration file===
dahdi-tools include dahdi_genconf, a utility which can autodetect the available channels of your card, and create a basic configuration file
dahdi_genconf

Now, you need to adapt it so it can be used with FreePBX:
sed -i -e "s/from-pstn/from-zaptel/g" /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf

And edit /etc/dahdi/system.conf to adapt to your zone, for example:
# Global data

loadzone = fr
defaultzone = fr

===Adapt the main dahdi configuration===

Now edit to your need the file /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf, you should include the file /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf. For example, here's my configuration:
;
; Zapata telephony interface
;
; Configuration file

[trunkgroups]

[channels]

language=fr
context=from-zaptel
signalling=fxs_ks
rxwink=300 ; Atlas seems to use long (250ms) winks
;
; Whether or not to do distinctive ring detection on FXO lines
;
;usedistinctiveringdetection=yes
busydetect=yes
busycount=6
hanguponpolarityswitch=yes
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=yes
usecallingpres=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
cancallforward=yes
callreturn=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echotraining=800
rxgain=6.0
txgain=6.0
group=0
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no

;faxdetect=both
faxdetect=incoming
;faxdetect=outgoing
;faxdetect=no

;Include genzaptelconf configs
#include dahdi-channels.conf

group=1

;Include AMP configs
#include chan_dahdi_additional.conf

===Create your trunk and extensions in FreePBX===
Now you can go on the admin interface of FreePBX and create your extension and trunks. To know which channel number is an FXO or an FXS, edit the file /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf. The section with context=from-internal are for extensions, the ones with context=from-zaptel are for trunks.
