similar to: Getting Asterisk to automatically dialout

I'm still trying to learn some parts of Asterisk, so sorry in advance for the dumb question! How do I set up an extension to dial out to the PSTN through my ZAP interfaces? I want the ability to have a ring group that will ring all of the phones in an office and then ring cell phones if nobody answers. I'm sure this is simple to do but I'm at a loss. I have tried the following

Using asterisk 1.4.18 and zaptel 1.4.9 on x86_64, I am having trouble dialing out to the pstn. The call is initiated at Zap/1-1 and should exit via Zap/3. I get the following: -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1' -- Executing [2111 at internal:1] Dial("Zap/1-1", "Zap/3/8801234") in new stack [Feb 25 02:36:59] DEBUG[7194]: chan_zap.c:1954 zt_call: Dialing

Hello What soundfile format, is the one that uses least transcoding during playback? As I can see, I can choose wav or gsm. What sucks least cpu power, during playback to example a Zap channel? I would guess wav, but is this correct? Kind Regards Jon Leren Sch?pzinsky -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.408 / Virus Database: 268.13.11/496 -

Hello, I am new to Asterisk, so RTFM answers welcome too (just include the FM's link :). I'd like to build a simple dialout server based on Asterisk. I installed 0.4.0 from package (a Debian SID machine, "server"). The client is gnophone (a Debian SID machine too, "client"). My modem is a GVC 56k voice modem connected to the server's serial port. I modified

Hello Asteriskers, :-) We're trying to set up an outbound notification calling for system alerts with Asterisk 1.4.0. We generate a call file in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and the outbound call is originated through Zap/1 (Sangoma A200D to a Canadian POTS line). The problem is that Asterisk does not wait for the other side to answer before it starts playing the message. So the

HI I have two servers both of which get this message on one of the lines. Ring/Off-hook in strange state 6. The one server seems to be ok with it, but the other one when an extension picks up there is no one there and the incoming call keeps ringing. I tried to adjust the levels in wcfxo.c like someone had suggested, but it didn't do anything. I also upgraded zaptel to the latest. 1.2.18 and

Greetings *`s, I am manually creating call files and dropping them into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing to be picked up by *. Presently, when I use local/internal parameters using SIP it works..ie I make an internal call from device to device. However, when I try dial an outside number which I have set up in a custom conf file, it bombs out with the following message :

I have an Asterisk server (1.4.13) using PRI in Monterrey, Mexico. This is really the first server I have used with PRI in Mexico as we normally use MFC/R2. Everything seems to be working except that some numbers always seem to be busy when you dial them. All these numbers belong to different phone companies. I know that with R2 this problem is present if you have a "#define

I have a Asterisk @home ver 1.0 running with a TDMB11 card. Several sip extensions and a regular phone connected to the box. All routing works fine from the regular phone connected to the box, whether its going to FWD, broadvoice or the PSTN. The problem I am experiencing comes from making calls from the sip phones. They get routed correctly to the sip and iax trunks but when making calls

Could you kick me, I can't dial more then 9 digits. Is anyone some default length of extensions or dialed number. Thanks, Bob.

I'm attempting to convert from ZAP to DAHDI with 1.6.0. I was using 1.6.0-beta9. I followed the directions I could find. I moved /etc/zapata to /etc/dahdi/system.conf I moved /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf to /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf I don't undestand how to deal with extensions.conf? I replaced Dial (ZAP/ ...) with Dial (DAHDI/ ... ) All my inbound calls from DAHDI work the same as

I currently have: Telco-PRI ---- Panasonic DBS576 PBX ---- E&M wink T1 ---- Asterisk. I have configured the Panasonic to forward my Asterisk DIDs to the Asterisk extensions over the T1. I do not get DID nor CID on the Asterisk, so I want to use PRI between the PBXs. I do not want to pay for another PRI card for the Panasonic. (T1 and PRI are different cards) I see this as my least

hi there I'm trying to get asterisk going on gentoo 2005.1 I'm just getting my feet wet so I thought I would just stick with the stable portage packages.

Hi All, I am trying to connect my asterisk box with freepbx to PSTN. I have purchased x100p FXO card and installed in my asterisk server. My freepbx detected the x100p FXO card and i can see the card specific details in command line. I have configured the following things. 1. OUTBOUND caller id and Dialing rules in Freepbx. 2. INBOUND route When i call to the PSTN number before

Hi, I am searching for the most effective solution for the following scenario: Our users can call into our IVR menu and dial a specific extension and immediately hang up. This event should simply trigger Asterisk to make multiple simultaneous calls through a group of zap channels (5-10 calls). When the called parties answer, Asterisk should simply play a message and hangup. So I was thinking

I added the playback line to my [macro-stdexten] context but when I dail an extension I don't get the "please hold while I try that extension" message. It just dials the extexsion. Do I have a syntax problem somewhere ? exten => 8005,1,Macro(stdexten,8005,Zap/2) exten => 8006,1,Macro(stdexten,8006,Sip/8006) [macro-stdexten] ; ; Standard extension macro: ; ${ARG1} -

If you set "dialout=fromvm" in your voicemail.conf, how do you then go about being able to dial back out? Is there a service feature code?

Could someone please comment on the current state of chan_capi, chan_misdn and chan_modem channel drivers in terms of functionality and stability. Specifically, which channel driver would be best for a passive PCI HFC or W6692 ISDN card. The chan_misdn wiki claims that chan_capi distinguishes between junghanns and non-junghans cards, and that chan_misdn is better suited for general misdn
