asterisk users - Nov 2005 - problem with zaptel 1.2.0 and pulse dialing

Hi all,

Pulse dialing is not working on my "asteriskathome" configuration with
asterisk 1.2.0 and zaptel 1.2.0 in France.
I've pulsedial=yes in zapata.conf.
Tone dialing is working 100%.

In file zapata.h (zaptel 1.2.0), I've found the following
:
> #define	ZT_DEFAULT_PULSEMAKETIME 50	/* 50 ms of line closed when dial
pulsing */
> #define	ZT_DEFAULT_PULSEBREAKTIME 50	/* 50 ms of line open when dial
pulsing */
> #define	ZT_DEFAULT_PULSEAFTERTIME 750	/* 750ms between dial pulse digits */
> 
> #define	ZT_MINPULSETIME (15 * 8)	/* 15 ms minimum */
> #define	ZT_MAXPULSETIME (200 * 8)	/* 200 ms maximum */
Is this configuration compatible with French analog PSTN ?
Is there any possibilities to change these values in any configuration 
file without need to compile again ?

Is there still anyone using pulse dialing ?
What your configuration is ?

Thanks.

I use 1.2 Beta 1 in pulse dial mode, as an interface to an EM switch. A 
bunch of collectors in the US and 2 in the UK have a private network of 
historic switches interconnected via the Internet and Asterisk.

If the make break time is a problem you can change in the source but 
will have to recompile. Also, we have found that with the TDM400 FXS 
card, the detection of dial pulses is intolerant of slightly out of spec 
dials, either speed or make break.
You also need to be aware that the "w" or wait parameter in the dial 
command only works with DTMF. That coupled with Asterisk not detecting 
dial tone can result in many mis (pulse) dialed calls to the PSTN
So YES, quite a few still use, and will continue to use pulse dial

Asterisk@home was not used as the configuration for our more or less 
special needs proved too cumbersome.

Good luck.
