Hi I am trying to use ChanIsAvail to decide if a particular extension is available in the sip channel I am using MySQL to hold my SIP friends. and wy cvs version shows Asterisk CVS-08/02/04 my intention is, that if the extension is not available in Sip channel, I will send the call somewhere else my extensions file contains the...

Hi all, I am having a problem with ChanIsAvail. It always returns the same result, regardless of whether an extension is available or not. It always returns 0 Unknown Status. This is my dialplan. exten => _2XX,1,ChanIsAvail(SIP/winsor_${EXTEN}|s) exten => _2XX,2,Verbose(0, ${AVAILSTATUS}) exten => _2XX,3,GoToIf($[${AVAILSTAT...

Guys. Anybody doing ChanisAvail on IAX2 channels?

The channels is defined as peer and Ialso tried doing a register on iax.conf for that ch...

Hi, So I've done my research on Chanisavail, read the wiki, checked the archive but can't seem to find anything to suit my scenario. I've played around with it a lot, but I'm still scratching my head on what I need to do. What I need is to be able to accept a call by SIP and ring all telephones that are not in use (which just s...

In 1.4.43 I would see things from "core show channels" like DAHDI/18/xxxxx for line 18 in Asterisk 11 its DAHDI/i4/xxxx How do I get the line number back? Jerry

I have 3 analog trunks zap/1, zap/4 and zap/5. zap/5 is the least used line. Would the following work for 911 calls? [e911] exten => 911,1,ChanIsAvail(Zap/1) exten => 911,2,Dial(Zap/1/911) exten => 911,3,Hangup() exten => 911,102,ChanIsAvail(Zap/4) exten => 911,103,Dial(Zap/4/911) exten => 911,104,Hangup() exten => 911,203,ChanIsAvail(Zap/5) exten => 911,204,Dial(Zap/5/911) exten => 911,205,Hangup() exten => 911,304,...

Here's my situation. I have two receptionists that answer incoming lines. Each has a 7960G with 5 incoming lines each. I'm trying to set this up so each line on each phone doesn't utilize call waiting. My problem seems to be that ChanisAvail(Sip/cisco1&Sip/cisco2&Sip/cisco3&Sip/cisco4&Sip/cisco5) always returns cisco1. Here are the sip.conf entries: (mind you, there are entries for frontdesk1-10 and each phone logs in with 1-5 and 6-10 respectively) [frontdesk10] type=friend ;Theresa Sprocket username=fron...

Hello all. Has anyone had any success using ChanIsAvail with only SIP channels? Is there another, better way to check if an extension is busy without dialing it? Thanks, B.

hello, Although my previous posts in this forum have not received satisfying answers, here is another question from me. my question is can i use ChanIsAvail function to get the status of a user in the format SPI/user-id if i provide user in sip uri like this ChanIsAvail(SIP/user at 153.18.x.x:5062) calling user with this sip uri works fine. I once tried but status returned was "unknow host 153.18.x.x". what is wrong here? thanks Nasir Jav...

Hi, I'm trying to use ChanIsAvail to build a resilient 'dialout' macro. The logic is simple; try Zap/g1 (a group of two E1s), and if that fails, try locating a channel via DUNDi. Here's a massively cut down version to illustrate the problem I'm having. macro dialout ( dest ) { ChanIsAvail(Zap/g1); n...

Hi list: I'm having the next problem, it appear that the application ChanIsAvail is not working on Asterisk 1.4.5 always return me 0 in AVAILSTATUS. I add my dialplan and the output to the cli. THanks. In the example i'm dialing from extension SIP/112 My DialPlan Secction: [macro-callonlyiffree] exten => s,1,ChanIsAvail(${ARG1}|s) exten => s,n,NoOp(${AVAILCH...

I'm testing ChanIsAvail context and it is not working for me. exten => 55,1,ChanIsAvail(SIP/11&SIP/21) exten => 55,2,Cut(theChannel=AVAILCHAN,,1) exten => 55,3,Dial(${theChannel},r) exten => 55,4,Hangup exten => 55,102,Goto(s,4) It is not dialing SIP/21 when I'm talking on SIP/11, it execute Hangu...

Curious whether the ChanIsAvail command is thread safe. By that I mean, if I use ChanIsAvail to determine which channel to use, can I be sure that it will still be available when I go to Dial it on the next line? It occurs to me that there's a possibility the channel could get used by a competing thread AFTER my thread ha...

I'm trying to add an emergency dial to my context. However, when I try to dial it, I get caught in an endless loop. For debugging, I have pared out nearly all the control flow and just have ChanIsAvail() and Dial() called. Using two different extensions to call teh same number, I get two different actions by *. Here is the vvverbose output: -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/3-1' -- Executing Dial("Zap/3-1", "Zap/1/5932336||T") in new stack -- Called 1/59...

I sent this earlier under "Editting variable contents" but no-one has responded. So, the subject is now more to the problem, instead of the solution I was trying to implement. ChanIsAvail returns the channel ID plus "-<session>". How can I edit ${AVAILCHAN} to remove this session ID, so I can use its contents in a subsequent Dial statement? Dialing on Zap just gives a warning about unknown option "-", but dialing a SIP channel completely errors out. ----...

Hello I am trying to setup ChanIsAvail function in the extensions.conf file so that user should use the available channel to call out, but immediately after the function like, zap channel hangup. Here is the copy of my extensions.conf file and messages display on consol while making the call. Please help me to fingure out this issue....

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ChanIsAvail does not work with MGCP channels, as said in the wiki. But other applications works simular, like Queue and Dial. What's really the problem with ChanIsAvail? Is it possible to use Queue and Dial to make a working ChanIsAvail? I will take a better look in the source when back at work on monday,...

Hey, we're running an asterisk system connected to another telco system using qsig. I'm currently trying to use ChanIsAvailable to get the current phone status out of the foreign system. ChanIsAvailable always return "0" - UNKNOWN. The Qsig protocoll itself supports the feature to query the status of a given phone. Is there any other way beside to use "ChanIsAvailable"? Thanks in advance! Greet...

Hello everybody, i have two gsm line (extra channels) and i'd like to schedule the outgoing calls with a round-robin strategy. If all the gsm lines are busy, the call must be sent to the pri lines with a linear strategy. here is the dialplan: exten => gsm,ChanIsAvail(EXTRA/r2&DAHDI/g1) same => n,GotoIf($["${AVAILORIGCHAN}" = ""]?unavail,1) same => n,Dial(${AVAILORIGCHAN}/${CALLEDNUMBER}) The problem is that the ChanIsAvail function is breaking the round robin strategy. When this function is executed i can see in the console this...
