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 regfile Registration and routing from a file

lateroute Makes a late routing decision, simplifies call forking and divert implementation (Yate >= 2.0) YRadius Routing using a radius server 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 Ysigchan This module is based on the signalling library and uses driver module(s) (e.g. zapcard, wpcard) to create interfaces and circuits used to transfer signalling packets and audio data.

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)

Private Modules

Modules
ydiameter Diameter protocol support.

Note: Some modules appear in more than one category because they may implement multiple functions on top of the same protocol or connection.
