By default Yate loads modules relevant to its current running mode:

  • all modules from the base module directory
  • in client mode modules from the client subdirectory
    • and all modules from the qt4 subdirectory in the Qt based client
  • in server mode modules from the server subdirectory
    • if yjinglechan is loaded also all modules from the jabber subdirectory

You just need to list all .yate files in those directories.

Loading of each module is controlled by the base name of each module in the [modules] section of the relevant main config file (yate.conf or yate-qt4.conf). The default is specified by modload= in section [general] of the same file:

  • if modload=yes (default) all modules are loaded if not disabled explicitly
  • if modload=no only explicitly enabled modules are loaded

Software Drivers

Modules

VoIP H.323 driver requiring the OpenH323 Library

VoIP SIP driver based on our own YASS (Yet Another Sip Stack) library

VoIP IAX2 driver using our own yiax (Yate IAX stack)

VoIP Jingle external component driver using our own XMPP/Jingle (for Yate >= 1.2)

SS7/ISDN protocol implementations based on our own signalling library (for Yate >= 2.0)

Analog channel (FXS/FXO) implementation based on our own signalling library (for Yate >= 2.0)

This module supports almost any ALSA driven sound card

This module supports almost any OSS driven sound card

This module supports the tones (dial,busy,congestion) for Yate

This module can play or record on a certain channel

This module can transmit or receive a fax, is based on spandsp

Yate native RTP channel (for Yate >= 0.9)

Implements miscellaneous SIP features

A "dumb" channel. most useful for channel-less entities like IVRs

Play or record to a binary database record

MGCP (Media Gateway Control Protocol) - Call Agent

Jabber server

Implements miscellaneous Jabber features

Jabber client

Hardware Drivers

Modules

ISDN E1/T1 driver over Wanpipe for Linux. Supports Sangoma AFT voice series cards. Very efficient. (for Yate >= 2.0)

ISDN E1/T1 driver over Wanpipe for Windows. Wanpipe drivers for windows are really different from the Linux version including the API. (for Yate >= 2.0)

ISDN E1/T1 TDM/FXO/FXS Zaptel driver. It supports some of the cards made by Digium - E100P, T100P, TE405P, TE410P. (for Yate >= 2.0)

Signalling Modules

Modules

MGCP (Media Gateway Control Protocol) - Call Agent

Cisco SLT (Signaling Link Transport) control (SS7 MTP2 backhaul over IP)

SIGTRAN connection provider (SS7 over IP)

SCTP sockets provider using Linux Kernel

Modifies parameters of ISUP messages passed through in STP mode

Routing Modules

Modules

Route with regular expressions

Route from a database

Routing using the embedded Javascript language

ENUM based routing

Forwards calls to other servers in a cluster based on Node Name (Yate >= 2.0)

It can be used for fallback routing, executes a call in parallel or sequence to multiple targets

Makes a late routing decision, simplifies call forking and divert implementation (Yate >= 2.0)

Routing using a radius server

Registration and routing from a file

Adds active call counters to be used in

Modifies parameters of ISUP messages passed through in STP mode

Perform CNAM and LNP queries via SIP INVITE / 3xx

CNAM and LNP memory caches. Set caller name or routing number if found in cache

Registering Modules

Modules

This module allows Yate to act as a SIP or H.323 client

Registration and routing from a file

Register users in a database

Adds Node Name information to routes registered with other modules (for Yate 2)

PBX Modules

Modules

Music on hold

Conference room with arbitrary number of seats

Call parking

Call pickup

Configurable PBX with hold, transfer and conference capabilities

Miscellaneous script-usable PBX features

Queues and distributes incoming calls to operators

PBX, IVR and multi routing from a database

CDR Modules

Modules

Builds the cdr so other modules can use it

Writes the cdr in a file

Writes the cdr in a database

Count active calls per user specified context

Transforms mutliple cdr entries(per each call leg) to single cdr entry(per call).

Transcoding Modules (codecs)

Modules

GSM 06.10 codec

Speex NB, WB and UWB codec

iLBC codec

AMR-NB codec

Test Modules

Modules

Message sniffer

Call generator

Audio path quality analyzer

Remote Control

Modules

Remote manager accessible from telnet

Billing Modules

Modules

RADIUS module

Billing in a database

External Module

Modules

External module allows you to use a channel or global scripts in Yate.

Database Drivers

Modules

PostgreSQL database driver

MySQL database driver

Resource subscribe/notify modules

Modules

Handle sip.subscribe and resource.notify messages

Writes the subscriptions in the database and notify the subscribers

Notify changes in the status of queued calls

Implements presence service for SIP clients

Manages rosters

Miscellaneous support modules

Modules
 
tonedetect
Inband DTMF and Fax tone detector
 
OpenSSL
SSL/TLS sockets provider using the OpenSSL library
 
LkSCTP
SCTP sockets provider using Linux Kernel
 
ccongestion
Reject calls based on CPU load (depends on cpuload)
 
gvoice
Google Voice support module (Yate 4+)

GUI Modules

Modules
 
YateClient
A skinnable Qt4 user interface allowing the use of Yate as an universal VoIP client

Monitoring

Modules
 
ysnmpagent
The SNMP agent
 
cpuload
Monitors CPU load
 
monitoring
Monitors database accounts, QoS, routing, RTP, SIP, etc.
 
eventlogs
Write events and alarms to log files.

You will note that some modules appear in more than one category because they may implement multiple functions on top of the same protocol or connection.
