asterisk users - Jan 2005 - ASTCC Trunk and Routes Configuration

Dear List members-

I am trying to configure ASTCC (Asterisk calling card application) but
having a hard time to configure it properly.  My project deadline is
approaching and couldn't figure out how to make ASTCC functional. Here
are some details what I have done so far.

1) I have installed ASTCC successfully. 
2) I can access astcc-admin.cgi script without any problem.
3) I have created config and user databases. 
4) I can create both bulk and custom cards. Cards can authenticate by
pin numbers or by CallerID.

Any time I tried to initiate call through calling card system, the
system generates and automated voice message " you have X dollars left
- I am sorry that is not a recognized number - good bye".

I have tried so many Trunks and routes combination but nothing worked.
I need help to configure ASTCC Trunks and routes parameters.

  I need following info. 

1) Trunk:
        * Trunk Name --> (Can I use any name or it should be Context
dependent.
        * Peer/Trunk  --> (What parameters should I use here).

2) Routes:
       * Pattern   --> (What values should I use here).

I would really appreciate if some one can share his or her experience
to help me configure ASTCC Trunks and routes parameters (STEP BY STEP
Procedure).

Thanks, 

Syed.

Hi ,

I'm fairly new user but as far as I understood Asterisk architecture, and 
to have something working with your ASTCC installation,  you should do as 
follow:

Scenario
- You have a pstn provider, say for example voipjet (i have no interest 
with them, but it's straight forward to setup a trunk with voipjet)
- with protocol IAX

1. in your iax.conf add :
[voipjet]
type=peer
host= voipjet_ip_address
secret= your_md5_password
auth=md5
notransfer=yes
context=default

2. in extension.conf here what i have:
[outbound-international]
ignorepat => ${DIAL_OUT}
exten => _011.,1,SetGroup(${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => _011.,2,Dial,IAX2/your_id@voipjet/${EXTEN} ; VoipJet.com WORLD
exten => _011.,3,Congestion
exten => _011.,103,Macro(outisbusy)
exten => _${DIAL_OUT}011.,1,SetGroup(${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => _${DIAL_OUT}011.,2,Dial(${OUT}/${EXTEN:1},,)
exten => _${DIAL_OUT}011.,3,Congestion
exten => _${DIAL_OUT}011.,103,Macro(outisbusy)

(Optional)
; Outgoing channel(s) are busy ... inform the client
[macro-outisbusy]
exten => s,1,Playback(allison7/all-circuits-busy-now)
exten => s,2,Playback(allison7/pls-try-call-later)
exten => s,3,Macro(hangupcall)

Now in ASTCC administration :
add a new trunk such as :
trunk name : VoIPJet
technology : IAX2
peer/trunk: your_id@voipjet
save

In Routes, add a new route such as :
pattern : 01133. (don't forget the '.' : the pattern field simply
apply regex)
comment : France
trunks : VoIPJet
conn fee : 0
inc sec : 0
cost :150 (for 0.015)

2. add more routes in bulk by using any excel2mysql converter tool for example

3. generate cards, enjoy calling worldwide ...

AB.

I don't see you calling the astcc.agi anywhere.
