asterisk users - Sep 2006 - SOLVED: ringback on box with E1 and premicell

Hi,

I had been struggling with this, and I thought I will post the solution.


I am running Asterisk 1.2.7.1, with a Sangoma A101 card in it.  I also have 2
Digium FXO cards, and
I have premicells connected to the FXO's .  Calls come in off the Sangoma E1
cards, from a Philips
PABX.  The problem I have is that the user, when he dials from his desk phone,
does not get any
ringtone when he dials  a cell phone, which goes over the premicells.  So the
cell phone will ring,
but the user wont hear anything until the cell perosn answers, then
everything's fine.  But when I
try to debug it, I used a sip phone to dial a cell number, that you get
ringtone.

Yet other calls from the PBX, non cell calls, have ringtone.  So when a call
uses the E1 anf FXO, I
get no ringtone.

This is true *only* when in zapata.conf with

answeronpolarityswitch=yes.
The ZAP device (a premicell),  sends polarityswitches when the call starts and
when the
call ends.

in zapata.conf with

answeronpolarityswitch=yes

then when  the phone starts to ring, you dont hear it ring, only when the person
answers the phone
do you start to hear him talk.

So therefore I do not hear the phone ring when answeronpolarityswitch=yes

SOLUTION:

in zaptel.conf
loadzone=za
in zapata.conf
callprogress=yes
progzone=za
priindication=outofband
