Modules
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. Which exactly are there depends on what dependency libraries are detected at configure time or what packages or components you installed.
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 explicitely
- if modload=no only explicitely enabled modules are loaded

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)
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)

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
|
