[asterisk-users] Integrating Asterisk with a Panasonic D500 using MFC/R2
I am trying to get my Asterisk server to talk to a Panasonic D500 PBX using an E1 connection. The card for the Panasonic uses MFC/R2 and I have installed Unicall. Calls from the Asterisk server to the Panasonic go through without a hitch and I can call any extension I want. The problem is that I cannot get any calls from the Panasonic. I have the following log from a call: Aug 9 00:27:09 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: Unicall/1 event Detected Aug 9 00:27:10 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- 3 on [2/ 2/Seize ack /Seize ack ] Aug 9 00:27:10 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 1 on -> [2/ 2/Seize ack /Seize ack ] Aug 9 00:27:10 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- 3 off [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:10 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 1 off -> [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:11 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- 3 on [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:11 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 1 on -> [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:11 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- 3 off [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:11 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 1 off -> [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:11 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- 3 on [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:11 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 1 on -> [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:12 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- 3 off [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:12 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 1 off -> [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:12 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- 3 on [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:12 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 6 on -> [2/ 2/Group A /DNIS request ] Aug 9 00:27:12 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- 3 off [2/ 2/Group C /Category req ] Aug 9 00:27:12 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 6 off -> [2/ 2/Group C /Category req ] Aug 9 00:27:13 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- 6 on [2/ 2/Group C /Category req ] Aug 9 00:27:13 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 1 on -> [2/ 2/Group C /Category req ] Aug 9 00:27:13 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- 6 off [2/ 2/Group C /ANI request ] Aug 9 00:27:13 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 1 off -> [2/ 2/Group C /ANI request ] Aug 9 00:27:13 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 <- B on [2/ 2/Group C /ANI request ] Aug 9 00:27:13 WARNING[14641] chan_unicall.c: MFC/R2 UniCall/1 R2 prot. err.

I know many people have integrated with PRI, but the card on the panasonic does not support that. -- Carlos Chavez Prats Director de Tecnolog?a Telecomunicaciones Abiertas de M?xico S.A. de C.V.

I had a similar problem with a Siemens, most probably you are specifying the wrong number of expected ANI digits. Try with "mx,0,4" as protocolvariant, that will tell Unicall to expect 0 ANI digits, but of course, in Asterisk environment you wont be able to get callerid. Play around incrementing the ANI expected digits in protocolvariant.

[asterisk-users] Integrating Asterisk with a Panasonic D500 using MFC/R2
Hi Carlos, I had the same problem and spent a lot of time studying the MFC/R2 protocol .... but the problem is in the libmfcr2 package version!! Try using the packages in: http://www.soft-switch.org/downloads/unicall/unicall-0.0.3pre7 And not in pre9. Both "pre7" and "pre9" have libmfcr2-0.0.3.tar.gz<http://www.soft-switch.org/downloads/unicall/unicall-0.0.3pre7/libmfcr2-0.0.3.tar.gz> with the same name.. but in different sizes. They are different. After that everything started do work !! Good Luck> I am trying to get my Asterisk server to talk to a Panasonic D500 > PBX > using an E1 connection.

They are different.pre9 works just fine. His problem is something completely different. His configuration does not match the requirements of the PBX. Steve

About the ANI problem, in Brazil I use the following parameter for protocolvariant. protocolvariant=br,20,16,16 I have the following configuration: Astetrisk ---- E1 ----- PBX----E1----Telco But Steve, after changing versions it really started to work without any modification in the .conf files. It was simple as that: before nothing worked and I had plenty of error messages from the MFC/R2 on the Asterisk log and after installing the different version it started to work. So I considered not to troubleshoot the problem because it had been resolved. As both files has different sizes, surely there is a difference between them.

Hi Steve, I notice that everytime I command a reload on the asterisk my unicall channels gets also reset. So all going calls got cut-off. Any suggestion that I should do avoid this problem?
