Hello
We need to know if a channel is not in use and can be used to dial a number
etc..
I have tried the ChanIsAvail function with different parameters.
ie ChanIsAvail(DAHDI/1&DAHDI/2) ,ChanIsAvail(DAHDI/1,s) etc
no matter the channel is busy or not it always return 0 .
Please suggest
FYI
ChanIsAvail(Technology/resource[&Technology2/resource2...][,options]):
This application will check to see if any of the specified channels are
available.
Options:
a - Check for all available channels, not only the first one.
s - Consider the channel unavailable if the channel is in use at all.
t - Simply checks if specified channels exist in the channel list
(implies option s).
This application sets the following channel variable upon completion:
AVAILCHAN - the name of the available channel, if one exists
AVAILORIGCHAN - the canonical channel name that was used to create the
channel
AVAILSTATUS - the status code for the available channel

Best Regards

What version of Asterisk are you using?
I think this might be related to an issue that was resolved in version 1.4.27
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases/asterisk-1.4.27-summary.html
- look in the list of Closed Items, second one down.
https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=14426 - link to the issue
Hope that helps.
