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

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 |

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 |

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 |

Monitoring
| Modules |
|
The SNMP agent
Monitors CPU load
Monitors database accounts, QoS, routing, RTP, SIP, etc.
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.
