asterisk users - Aug 2005 - How to let ZAPHFC work with and act on different incoming MSNs?

Hi all,

I'm struggling some time now with this problem. Googling and searching
on this topic did not deliver the answer yet, so my last hope is this
list.

Analogue to the things which are possible with modem.conf, where I can
configure the MSN's to act on, I would like to have similar
functionality.

This is the idea:
I have 1 ISDN line, it can be reached by 4 different MSN's.
I have connected the ISDN line to HFC card  and I use the ZAPHFC driver.
I would like to tell the driver that it should jump to different
places in the dial plan depending on the MSN number which was used by
the caller.

I have this working with a Teles ISA card, see config below (numbers
are changed because I dont want everybody to call me;-) )
In modem.conf
=====context=incoming_teles
group=>0
msn=402911101
msn=402911102
device => /dev/ttyI0
device => /dev/ttyI1
=====In extensions.conf:
=====[incoming_teles]
exten => s,1,Goto(spiriimpuls,s,1)
exten => 4029111101,1,Goto(context1,s,1)
exten => 4029111102,1,Goto(context2,s,1)
=====
With the ZAPHFC driver it seems that it reacts on every MSN number on
that line and it always goes to the  's' extension in the specified
context, it does not make use of the MSN id.

How to get the same results with the ZAPHFC / zapata.conf /
zaptel.conf and/or other config files, or is it not possible due to
the nature of  'zap'?

Thanks in advance for your contributions.

Michel Koenen

ZapHFC is configured in zapata.conf, not in modem.conf, right?

Yes, I know but I gave the modem.conf example to show you how it is
working with the Teles card. The question was how to get the same
thing working with zaphfc.

In the mean time I spent some more time to experiment and I found out
that with zaphfc I can make use of DID to get the same results. This
page gave the solution:
http://voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+tips+did
I just had to set  immediate=no and overlapdial=yes to get it working.

There is only one tiny issue left:
the MSN via modem.conf is delivered as extension  4029111101 to the
dial plan, while the MSN via zapata.conf is delivered with an extra 0
prepended so 04029111101. This means that I cannot make use of the
same context when using both cards.

Does anybody know how to preprocess the extension before it is send to
the dialplan context so that the MSN is always presented the same
regardless of via which channel it is coming in?

Best regards,
Michel
