Important information for users of A101/A102/A104 with the new Maxim chipset
Some recent A101/A102/A104 cards using the Maxim chipset may experience problems on Telstra lines, including the inability to connect.
To fix this problem, please ensure you are using WanPipe drivers Stable 2.3.4-12 or Beta 3.1.2 or later, and that you have upgraded the card firmware using the following command:
cd wanpipe-2.3.4-12/util/wan_aftup
./update_aft_firm.sh
This update fixes known problems with E1 CRC4 mode and hardware echo cancellation. See the following URL for more information:

WANPipe settings for A10x cards
The following guide may be useful when configuring the Sangoma WANPipe drivers for use with Australian providers:
| Media type | E1/T1 | This will be E1 for all Telstra and Optus lines. Only select T1 (or any of the other options) if you know you are connecting to foreign equipment |
| Framing type | CRC4/NCRC4 | Telstra and Optus use CRC4 |
| Clock | Normal/Master | Normal means that clocking is provided by the remote end, which will be the case for most provisioned lines |
| Signalling type | PRI CPE/PRI NET | CPE stands for "Customer Premises Equipment" and is the setting that most Telstra and Optus lines will expect Only select NET if you know the remote device is in CPE mode. |
