1. In the /etc/yum.repos.d/elastix.repo file, define the parameter 'exclude' for [elastix-base] and [elastix-updates] repositories:
   exclude=elastix-mysqldbdata *dahdi *dahdi-devel asterisk asterisk-devel asterisk-sounds* libpri*


2. In the /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo file, define the parameter 'exclude' for [epel] repository:
   exclude=libpri*


3. Download and install the Xorcom repository encryption public key:
   cd /tmp
   wget http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/elastix/repo/RPM-GPG-KEY-xorcom
   rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-xorcom


4. Download the Xorcom repository configuration file:
   cd /etc/yum.repos.d
   wget http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/elastix/xorcom.repo


5. Install the “bristuffed” libpri:
   rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force
   http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/elastix/repo/libpri-1.4.3-7.i686.rpm
   http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/elastix/repo/libpri-devel-1.4.3-7.i686.rpm


6. Install Asterisk and DAHDI packages:
   yum update asterisk* *dahdi*


7. Reset the Astribank devices:
   /etc/init.d/asterisk stop
   /etc/init.d/dahdi stop
   /usr/share/dahdi/xpp_fxloader reset
   Wait until lsusb command shows the Astribank units as e4e4:1162 devices.
   
   For example:
   #lsusb
   Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
   Bus 001 Device 005: ID e4e4:1162
   Bus 001 Device 001: ID e4e4:1162
   Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
   Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
   
   After that, start DAHDI and Asterisk again:
   /etc/init.d/dahdi start
   /etc/init.d/asterisk start
