asterisk users - Sep 2009 - Originate calls with AMI.

Hello.

I've been trying to use the AMI to originate phone calls.

I'm trying to call the SIP phone 'zoiper' with the SIP phone
'yziquel'.

So, the AMI interaction is:
> Action: originate
> Channel: SIP/zoiper
> Exten: yziquel
> Priority: 1
> Timeout: 30
> Context: internal
> 
> Response: Error
> Message: Originate failed
> 
> Event: Newchannel
> Privilege: call,all
> Channel: SIP/zoiper-019a3000
> State: Down
> CallerIDNum: <unknown>
> CallerIDName: <unknown>
> Uniqueid: asterisk-1251987055.7
> 
> Event: Newcallerid
> Privilege: call,all
> Channel: SIP/zoiper-019a3000
> CallerID: <Unknown>
> CallerIDName: <Unknown>
> Uniqueid: asterisk-1251987055.7
> CID-CallingPres: 0 (Presentation Allowed, Not Screened)
> 
> Event: Hangup
> Privilege: call,all
> Channel: SIP/zoiper-019a3000
> Uniqueid: asterisk-1251987055.7
> Cause: 0
> Cause-txt: Unknown
And then the 'zoiper' softphone starts ringing continuously. It says 
"Incoming Call from asterisk" and not from 'yziquel'. Moreover
when I
pick up the phone it says "You are now talking to asterisk", and then 
Zoiper closes the call immediately.

There's surely something I do not get right here, and I'd appreciate 
some help.

All the best,

Guillaume YZiquel.

To start with I'd do (just rearranging but makes me feel better):

Action: originate
Channel: SIP/zoiper
Context: internal
Exten: yziquel
Priority: 1
Timeout: 30
Callerid: yziquel

But also, are you sure that the extension yziquel exists in the internal 
context?

type the following:

dialplan show internal
