[Asterisk-Users] t1 won't dial outbound
I've posted this problem a couple of times before with little or no response. Basically I have a T100P in my * box. Incoming calls are working great. However outgoing calls are not working at all. I've copied a previous post into this message which should have all the necessary info. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mark ######################################################################## ################# OK...I've got an * box with a T100P in it. For the most part incoming calls are going through just fine. Outgoing calls, however, I'm having some more trouble with. Whenever I make an outgoing call, the call begins, however after the dialing process all I hear is dead air. Here's the output from my * console: -- Executing Dial("SIP/mark-2d08", "Zap/g3/2550559") in new stack -- Called g3/2550559 -- Hungup 'Zap/6-1' == Spawn extension (uti-mainst, 2550559, 1) exited non-zero on 'SIP/mark-2d08' I've checked with the switch guy...and whatever channel I'm trying to dial out on is coming up as "blocked" on his switch. We've compared as many settings as we can think of and they all seem to be set the same. I'll post the entries from my zaptel.conf and my zapata.conf in here...if you have any ideas please send them my way... zaptel.conf span=1,1,0,d4,ami e&m=1-24 fxsks=25 loadzone=us defaultzone=us zapata.conf context=conference signalling=em switchtype=5ess group=3 callgroup=3 pickupgroup=3 channel => 6 busydetect=yes callerid=asreceived callprogress=yes callreturn=yes callwaiting=yes callwaitingcallerid=yes cancallforward=yes echocancel=yes echocancelwhenbridged=yes immediate=no language=us musiconhold=default threewaycalling=yes transfer=yes usecallerid=yes ######################################################################## ########################## -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It looks like your channel and group statements in the zapata.conf are the problem. Notice that when it tries to dial out it does so on Zap/6-1. You have the T-1 defined as 'Span 1,' but you are trying to send the calls to span 6. It ain't gonna work! I don't see anywhere where you've assigned the rest of the channels on that T-1, either. I would recommend either grouping them all together (that's the easiest), or at least making sure you've got all of the channels assigned to groups. My zapata.conf is much simpler: signalling=pri_net group=1 channel => 1-23 When it dials, then you will see the calls going out on Zap/1-1 or Zap/1-2, etc. Good luck; and have fun!

I haven't tried breaking up the channels into different groups (mainly because I haven't had a need to), but the examples I've seen looked more like: [channels] signalling=em_w switchtype=5ess group=1 context=uti-mainst channel => 1-3 group=2 context=sales channel => 4-6 group=3 etc........... In this example, the signalling and switchtype don't change (because they are all on the same trunk), but you can change the context in each group definition. Anything specified ABOVE the channel statement will be applied to those channels. So, you only need to specify the changes inbetween your channel => statements. As such, all of the other statements before the channel => 6 statement will also be applied to that channel. If you specified a parameter (like callretrun=yes or callprogress=yes) that the LEC (Carrier) didn't like, it would not accept the call. If group 5 works correctly for outbound calls, I would model group 3's defninitions after group 5.

I didn't include my entire zapata.conf...just the portion that applied to this call (i.e. group #3) Please correct me if I have misunderstood how this all works together. When I see: -- Executing Dial("SIP/mark-2d08", "Zap/g3/2550559") in new stack -- Called g3/2550559 -- Hungup 'Zap/6-1' I'm interpreting that this is dialing out on Zap group 3 (which happens to begin on channel 6). Please correct me if I'm wrong here... I'm attaching my entire zapata.conf just to defer any confusion...and to see if you can see anything. Also, I'm going to take your suggestion and create another zapata.conf which will be simplified just to see if there is a conflict somewhere in there. Thanks for your help!
