We have had Asterisk up and running for a while now and it works very well. Recently we tried to integrate a Linsys SPA962 with the associated SPA932 console. We can get the BLF lights to blink when a phone is ringing and we can get the BLF lights to go solid when that call is picked up. My question is about the BLF for the phone that placed the call. Is the BLF supposed to light up when the handset is picked up and a dial tone is heard? Right now that is not happening. The BLF lights only seem to operate for phones that are RECEIVING calls and not MAKING them. Thanks, Dan Peters -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There is no BLF state for 'off hook' (at least in Asterisk) - so what you have here is what you are going to get. regards, PaulH Dan Peters wrote:> > We have had Asterisk up and running for a while now and it works very > well.

Once the call has been made and the other end is ringing, is the calling extension showing up? If not, I've seen this problem before with Asterisk 1.4. You need to ensure that the following configuration items are set in sip.conf:- * call-limit must be set for every extension. Usually set this to a large arbitrary number such as 100. (or 1 if you don't want another call to be received when the extension is on the phone) * notifyringing should be set to "yes". * If you're using RealTime, ensure you have both rtcachefriends and rtupdate set to "yes". * limitonpeers must be set to "yes" if you're using type=peer. (this is the most likely culprit since it's missing from the default config files)

In Asterisk 1.4, there's an option called "limitonpeers" that will make sure that both incoming and outgoing calls are accounted for. The subscription only checks the peer part of a SIP type=friend. With limitonpeers set, Asterisk only uses the peer call counter for both incoming and outgoing calls. In Asterisk 1.6.0 beta, there's an additional setting for setting a busy level, allowing for a few more calls while still busy - in order to allow call transfers while on the phone. In Asterisk SVN trunk the user object is removed and the problem doesn't exist any more. /O -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
