DAHDI_MONITOR(8) | DAHDI_MONITOR(8) |
NAME¶
dahdi_monitor - checks the Rx/Tx levels of a DAHDI channels
SYNOPSIS¶
dahdi_monitor num [-v[v]] dahdi_monitor num [-o] [<-f|-F> FILE] dahdi_monitor num [[<-r|-R> FILE]] [[<-t|-T> FILE]]
DESCRIPTION¶
dahdi_monitor monitors a Dahdi channel. It can record the output to a file, play it to the speaker, or visualize the audio levels on the terminal.
Recorded audio files are by default raw signed linear PCM. If the file name ends with ".wav", the recorded file will be a WAV file.
The visual display shows the current audio level at both the Rx (audio Received by Asterisk) and Tx (audio Transmitted by Asterisk)
To exit the program, press Ctrl-C.
OPTIONS¶
The first (mandatory) parameter is the number of the channel to monitor.
-m
-o
-v
Implies -m.
-f FILE
-F FILE
-r FILE
Implies -m.
-R FILE
Implies -m.
-s FILE
-S FILE
-t FILE
Implies -m.
-T FILE
Implies -m.
EXAMPLES¶
Visualize audio levels on DAHDI channel 2:
dahdi_monitor 2 -v
Record channel 3 to a file:
dahdi_monitor 3 -f output.raw
This will create a raw PCM file (signed-linear, 8kHz, mono, 16 bits per sample). Both the Tx and Rx will be multiplexed in a single channel. It can be converted to a WAV file using e.g.:
sox -s -c1 -2 -r8000 output.raw output.wav
Record Tx and Rx of channel 5 to separate files. This time directly to WAV files:
dahdi_monitor 5 -r output_rx.wav -t output_tx.wav
Record channel 8 to a stereo file (Tx and Rx on its two channels):
dahdi_monitor 8 -s output.raw
Converting it to a WAV file:
sox -s -c2 -2 -r8000 output.raw output.wav
