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.

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

Hardware Drivers

Modules

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

mgcpca MGCP (Media Gateway Control Protocol) - Call Agent CiscoSM Cisco SLT (Signaling Link Transport) control (SS7 MTP2 backhaul over IP) SigTransport SIGTRAN connection provider (SS7 over IP) LkSCTP SCTP sockets provider using Linux Kernel isupmangler Modifies parameters of ISUP messages passed through in STP mode

Routing Modules

Modules

regexroute Route with regular expressions register Route from a database javascript Routing using the embedded Javascript language enumroute ENUM based routing clustering Forwards calls to other servers in a cluster based on Node Name (Yate >= 2.0) callfork It can be used for fallback routing, executes a call in parallel or sequence to multiple targets lateroute Makes a late routing decision, simplifies call forking and divert implementation (Yate >= 2.0) YRadius Routing using a radius server regfile Registration and routing from a file callcounters Adds active call counters to be used in isupmangler Modifies parameters of ISUP messages passed through in STP mode sip_cnam_lnp Perform CNAM and LNP queries via SIP INVITE / 3xx cache CNAM and LNP memory caches. Set caller name or routing number if found in cache

Registering Modules

Modules

accfile This module allows Yate to act as a SIP or H.323 client regfile Registration and routing from a file register Register users in a database clustering Adds Node Name information to routes registered with other modules (for Yate 2)

PBX Modules

Modules

moh Music on hold conference Conference room with arbitrary number of seats park Call parking pickup Call pickup pbxassist Configurable PBX with hold, transfer and conference capabilities pbx Miscellaneous script-usable PBX features queues Queues and distributes incoming calls to operators dbpbx PBX, IVR and multi routing from a database

CDR Modules

Modules

cdrbuild module Builds the cdr so other modules can use it cdrfile module Writes the cdr in a file register Writes the cdr in a database callcounters Count active calls per user specified context cdrcombine Transforms mutliple cdr entries(per each call leg) to single cdr entry(per call).

Transcoding Modules (codecs)

Modules

Test Modules

Modules

msgsniff Message sniffer callgen Call generator analyzer Audio path quality analyzer

Remote Control

Modules

rmanager Remote manager accessible from telnet

Billing Modules

Modules

YRadius RADIUS module register Billing in a database

External Module

Modules

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

Database Drivers

Modules

pgsqldb PostgreSQL database driver   mysqldb MySQL database driver

Resource subscribe/notify modules

Modules

sipfeatures Handle sip.subscribe and resource.notify messages   register Writes the subscriptions in the database and notify the subscribers   queuesnotify Notify changes in the status of queued calls   presence Implements presence service for SIP clients   subscriptions 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.
