Hi all. I've got a question regarding usages with a TDM400. In results from the command $ asterisk -rx 'zap show channels [n]' I've noticed a change that may have been made somewhere between ver 1.2.9.1 and 1.2.11. In the older versions, the line "Real:" seemed to contain the text 'Linear' if the person on the zap channel was on hold. This feature seems to have been eliminated in 1.2.11. Now the results of the above command seem identicle no matter the zap line is put on hold or not. I used to rely on this fact when checking weather a person on the zap channel was on hold or not with scripts and am facing some inconveniences now. I was hoping someone could give me some input on 1. What the text "Linear" really meant. 2. If the feature is gone, if so, for what reason. 3. Any other work arounds on checking if a zap channel is currently on hold from the command line. Thank you. -- David Shimamoto david@pspunch.com
I'm reporting that I've solved a problem to a question I (believe) got no reply to, hoping it would help others. Following are my work around on finding which zap channels are currently on hold from the command line. Among the results from, $ asterisk -rx "zap show channels [n]" the line "Real:" seems to indicate if a line is connected to "music on hold" by adding the word "Linear". By parsing the text for this keyword, you can check if a zap channel is on hold or not. My previous post was to ask why this feature was gone in the new version, which turned out to be just me failing to setup MOH on the reinstalled server. -- David Shimamoto
