asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Manager "Message: Originate failed" beinggenerated when callee does not pick up

<<I am getting "Message: Originate failed" even the phone is

Originate will ring your own extension first and when you pick up, call the
other number.  If you don't pick up your extension, you will receive the
message you see.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Manager "Message: Originate failed"
beinggenerated when callee does not pick up


I am using the Manager to originate calls. I am getting "Message: Originate
failed" even the phone is ringing on the other end of the line.
 
How can I reliably know if the phone on the other end of the line is receiving
the call?
 
Thanks, Tom

Thanks for your help. From what you said it looks like
I should not use Originate, but there is no
alternative to the "Originate" action  if I just want
to make an outgoing call is there?

This is what my code is sending to the Manager API:

clientSocket.Send(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Action:
Originate\r\nChannel: " + asteriskVoipChannel + "/" +
PhoneNumber +  "\r\nContext: justring\r\nCallerID: " +
callerId + "\r\nExtension: justring\r\nPriority:
1\r\n\r\nAction: Logoff\r\nActionId: 1\r\n\r\n")); 
				
Here is the extension:

[justring]
exten =>
_1XXXXXXXXXX,1,DIAL(IAX2/username@provider/${EXTEN},10,S(0))
exten => _1XXXXXXXXXX,2,Hangup
exten => s,1,Hangup

How do I use the Manager API to place an outgoing call
and reliably get a status code indicating the the call
was placed successfully?
