[asterisk-users] Grandstream Busy Light Fields

Hello !

I am having troubles setting up Busy Light Fields (BLF) in asterisk 1.4.18
The things work up to 80%, I can transfer the call by BLF button and I can
see the green (free) status and red (busy) status.
What I cannot do is to accept the call when someone rings a remote
extension. The BLF button starts to blink in red telling me that the call is
ringing on remote extenson, but if I press it, my phone starts ringing that
extension instead of accepting the call. I can only acept the call from
other sides if I enter *8 (send) button.
Here I am sending an example from my sip.conf file (I have sip accounts from
60-90) :


[62]
; telefon
Callgroup=3
pickupgroup=1-20
subscribecontext=BLF
context=buster
type=friend
username=62
secret=<secret>
disallow=all
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw
allow=g729
qualify=yes
canreinvite=no
callerid=62
insecure=port
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833
rtptimeout=10

[63]

[64]
; telefon
Callgroup=5

qualify=yes
canreinvite=no
callerid=64
insecure=port
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833
rtptimeout=10
nat=no
call-limit=20

Here the output from extensions.conf:

[buster]
; the usual dialplan+extensions are here, then comes:

In the same arrangement, I have an agi script called for (what in yours 
would be _**6X,1, which picks up a group of extensions (well all 4 lines 
on the phone at intqueue (internal queue context) and the extension number 
itself.

This seems to work for incoming calls, but not internal calls. (Although 
  I haven't really looked into this, I do know that PickUp doesn't work 
ifn certain circumstances, such as the extension being picked up using a 
Macro to which handles the dialling for instance).

Now hopefully someone will come along and explain all the bits I got 
wrong. :-)

Firstly, make sure the GS phones are of a relatively new hardware revision 
and have the latest firmware loaded...

   Program-- 1.1.6.16    Bootloader-- 1.1.6.5

is a current "good" version for GXP phones.

This is wrong - you need :2 to skip over the 2 stars.

You might want to try:

   exten => _**.,1,Pickup(${EXTEN:2})
   exten => _**.,n,Hangup()

Which is what I use and it works just fine.

And one other thing to remember if it's relevant for you, is that 
different phones send different things - eg. Snoms send *8 then the 
extension number, so putting:

   exten => _**.,1,Pickup(${EXTEN:2})
   exten => _**.,n,Hangup()

   exten => _*8.,1,Pickup(${EXTEN:2})
   exten => _*8.,n,Hangup()

Somewhere covers both cases.

Try adding you context in that the phone is subscribed to.  I had some issue
with this because if you do not specify the context it defaults to ?default? and
has trouble finding the phone correctly.  If you watch your debug very closely I
you should see it try to pick the phone up in the wrong context.  In your case
the phone registers in the context  ?buster? so you would want your BLF pickup
to look like this:

 

exten => _**6X,1,Pickup(${EXTEN:2}@buster)
exten => _**6X,2,Hangup

 

Hope this helps you out.

Yes we got all phones updated with newest firmware.

Ok I have tried adding these 2 lines, and the error which I get when calling
01 5863165, which then rings extension 65, and I try to accept the call on
extension 70 by a BLF button. It gives me error code.

Er, I don't get quite the same output as you - I'm on 1.2 though. A test
call I've just done - extension 109 called extension 100, and extension
101 (a grandstream phone) picked it up by pushing the BLF key
corresponding to extension 100:



     -- Executing Dial("SIP/109-0820a178",
"IAX2/100&SIP/100||WwTton")
in new stack
     -- Called 100
     -- SIP/100-081fe780 is ringing
  Extension Changed 100 new state Ringing for Notify User 101
     -- Executing Pickup("SIP/101-081edf38", "100") in new
stack
     -- Executing Hangup("SIP/101-081edf38", "") in new
stack
   == Spawn extension (internal, **100, 2) exited non-zero on
'SIP/101-081edf38'
     -- SIP/101-081edf38 answered SIP/109-0820a178
  Extension Changed 100 new state Idle for Notify User 101
   == Spawn extension (macro-dialInternal, s, 53) exited non-zero on
'SIP/109-0820a178' in macro 'dialInternal'

So your pickup is picking up a group - seems odd to me, but maybe the
behaviour changed after 1.2 ?

One other thing - do you have

   exten => 65,1,Dial(SIP/65)

Yes I do have this:
exten => 65,1,Dial(SIP/65,30,rtk)
exten => 65,n,Hangup()
exten => 70,1,Dial(SIP/70,30,rtk)
exten => 70,n,Hangup()


As pickup works on the extension not the channel... (ie. what do you dial
on a phone to make the SIP/65 ring? What does the DDI point to?)

It goes like this:

exten => 5863165,1,Dial(SIP/65,17,rtk)
exten => 5863165,n,Dial(SIP/64,120,rtk)
exten => 5863165,n,Hangup()

Jan
