Ids assignment


The Gateway Manager assigns a unique identifier to each board and to each port of a board. Those identifiers are used when the Gateway Manager needs to reference to a specific port on a board, for example, in the channels status panel and to assign boards or ports to a physical configuration or call control configuration.

Wanpipe Id vs. Wanpipe Interface Id


Both the Wanpipe Id and the Wanpipe Interface Id are identification numbers given by the Sangoma driver to telephony ports These identifiers are used by the Sangoma boards in the Windows Device Manager. To distinguish the ports of an analog board, the driver will assign a Wanpipe Interface id for each port on this board. Hence, to identify a specific port, the driver will use the following pattern:

WANPIPE[wanpipeId]_IF[wanpipeInterfaceId]

Here is an example of the numbers that could be assigned in a system with a A104 digital board and an A200 analog board with 2 FXO ports and 2 FXS ports for a total of 4 ports.

The A104 digital board could get the following Wanpipe Ids:

The A200 analog board could get the following numbers:

Then, the driver would refer to port 1 of the A200 board like this:

Wanpipe5_IF1

It would refer to port 2 of the A200 board like this:

Wanpipe5_IF2

and so on for the other ports.
