asterisk users - Aug 2004 - Using answering machine in my phone

Is this supported? I have a very simple setup where I have 2 X100P cards and
a TDM10B.

The TDM10B is connected to a phone that has a digital answering machine
built into it.

If I make an inbound call on either X100P interface it gets transferred to
the TDM10B interface.

If I let it ring the TDM10B interface answers the call and the greeting
message of the answering machine

starts. Then shortly after that, it seems like the dial application exits
because the TDM10B interface hungup.

 

my extensions.conf file is as follows:

 

exten => s,1,Dial(ZAP/3)

exten => s,102,Hangup

 

Log output from asterisk -vvvvc is:

Zap/2 is a X100P interface

Zap/3 is the TDM10B interface

 

    -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/2-1'

    -- Executing Dial("Zap/2-1", "ZAP/3") in new stack

    -- Called 3

    -- Zap/3-1 is ringing

    -- Zap/3-1 is ringing

    -- Zap/3-1 is ringing

    -- Zap/3-1 is ringing

    -- Zap/3-1 answered Zap/2-1

    -- Attempting native bridge of Zap/2-1 and Zap/3-1

    -- Hungup 'Zap/3-1'

  == Spawn extension (from-comcast, s, 1) exited non-zero on 'Zap/2-1'

    -- Executing Hangup("Zap/2-1", "") in new stack

  == Spawn extension (from-comcast, h, 1) exited non-zero on 'Zap/2-1'

    -- Hungup 'Zap/2-1'

 

Regards,

Adam

Should work without any problems whatsoever.

Do you hear the answering machine when you call?  Can the answering machine 
hear you?  (i.e. is it listening, not hearing anything and hanging up?)  Have 
you played with any gain settings?  Do you have any call progress options in 
zapata.conf for channel 2 or 3?  Busydetect?  

Your post raises more questions than it seeks to answer.  :-)

Andrew

Ah thanks forgot about that. Still no difference though :(

The answering machine is embedded in the phone. So that's the only thing
connected to the line.

Me too. Something's indeed strange. I'll probably just end up using the
Voicemail system in Asterisk then.

Thanks,
Adam

At this point I'm getting a bit stumped.  The only things I have on my
FXS ports are phones.  Granted, the answering machine *should* act like
just another phone.

I suspect the answering machine more than I suspect the phone.

No problem.

FWIW, the voicemail system in Asterisk is pretty nice.  Just one of the
reasons I like the system as a whole.
