pbx_sat — prebuilt packages

Prebuilt .deb and .rpm packages for pbx_sat, the direct PBX ↔ SVXReflector bridge (chan_pbx_sat) — no AllStar in the path. Install these to build your own PBX ↔ SVX trunk.

This repo holds only built packages, no source. The source lives in the private pbx-sat repo. x86_64 only (PBX boxes are x86).

Two packages:

• chan-pbx-sat — the driver (chan_pbx_sat.so) + a sample /etc/asterisk/pbx_sat.conf and the setup guide. Works on any Asterisk box.
• pbxsat-freepbx — the FreePBX web GUI (admin module Connectivity → PBX ⇄ SVX + a dashboard status widget). Install it too on a FreePBX box; it deploys into the web root via fwconsole and depends on chan-pbx-sat. Not needed on a plain-Asterisk box (configure pbx_sat.conf by hand).

Debian 12 / 13 (debs/)

# the driver (required):
sudo apt install ./debs/chan-pbx-sat_<version>~<suite>_amd64.deb
# the FreePBX GUI (on a FreePBX box):
sudo apt install ./debs/pbxsat-freepbx_<version>~<suite>_all.deb

<suite> is bookworm (Debian 12) or trixie (Debian 13). Built against the box's Asterisk.

CentOS / RHEL 7 / 8 / 9 (rpms/)

# the driver (required):
sudo dnf install ./rpms/chan-pbx-sat-<version>.<asttag>.<dist>.x86_64.rpm
# the FreePBX GUI (on a FreePBX box):
sudo dnf install ./rpms/pbxsat-freepbx-<version>.<asttag>.<dist>.noarch.rpm

One driver RPM per (distro, Asterisk major):

File	Distro	Asterisk
…ast22.el9…	CentOS Stream 9	22
…ast22.el8…	CentOS Linux 8	22
…ast18.el7…	CentOS Linux 7	18
…ast16.el7…	CentOS Linux 7	16

After install

The driver does not load until you enable it:

1. cp /etc/asterisk/pbx_sat.conf.sample /etc/asterisk/pbx_sat.conf and edit it (or use the FreePBX GUI if you installed pbxsat-freepbx).
2. Uncomment load = chan_pbx_sat.so in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf.
3. Point a dialplan route at PBXSAT/<trunk>/<tg>.
4. asterisk -rx "core restart now" then asterisk -rx "pbxsat show".
