similar to: ChanIsAvail not working

Hi, all. I'm making my first foray into AEL. I'm starting with a simple macro, but I've already encountered an odd behaviour. I'm wondering if someone can shed some insight: Asterisk 1.2.9.1 macro newPlaceCallPSTN { s => { TIMEOUT(absolute)=7200; NoOp(Analog Out List: ${ANALOGOUT}); ChanIsAvail(${ANALOGOUT}); NoOp(Available Out List:

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. Thanks Deepak Extension.conf : exten =>

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 so happen to be on Zap interfaces, but might be SIP

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,

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

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); noop(Value of AVAILCHAN is ${AVAILCHAN});

A call comes in and goes into the queue, the queue dials a sip channel using a macro. The macro plays a set of options to the callee and if the callee presses 3 it sets MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE and the macro ends. For some reason the caller goes back into the queue rather than continueing on in the dial plan. Why is this, i could have sworn in 1.2 if i set MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE that the

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(${ARG1}|s) exten => s,n,NoOp(${AVAILCHAN}) exten

I am trouble finding a configuration that works for ChanIsAvail and SIP. My two providers are Voxee and Teliax. I have these lines in a macro exten => s,n,ChanIsAvail(SIP/teliax&SIP/voxee) exten => s,n,Cut(CH=AVAILCHAN,-,1) exten => s,n,NoOp(AVAILCHAN= ${CH}) ; Dial the available Channel exten => s,n,Dial(${CH}/${ARG1},60,t) Looking at the execution, I can see what the AVAILCHAN

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

Some progress to report: I had to run asterisk as the user logged in - actually not even that. I could not "su user -c " to that user - I had to run it as that user. Then I did a test and got audio! Great... But when I do a second test. Asterisk HANGS on ChanIsAvail() Then I thought lets SKIP that - and just let it do the Dial() - I stopped everything - got it running again. - and

I have a USB to serial converter attached to my box. pl2303: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver if I login to the box and send/receive serial commands over this unit it works without error EVERY time. however, if I run the same command set from with-in the extensions.conf with System() I get errors in dmesg like "pl2303 ttyUSB0: pl2303_open - failed submitting read urb, error

Hi Guys, This article was posted few days back. I thought i can get more info here. I am trying to bridge two outbound calls together. (have a program start a context, dial one party and then bridge another party) I thought that the G() flag in the dial application would work. I tried the the following test (continue down a dial plan). One station calls into a context ... in this case, dials

Hi all! I'm experimenting a strange problem in my Asterisk PBX: I've got an Asterisk pbx in the office: I dial an external number; the dialled number answers me correctly, but as soon as I press the '*' button (i.e. to navigate through the menus or to enter a password) my Asterisk box put me on hold. (CLI transcription follows: -- Executing

First, here's what I want to do / what I have: X100P and a Quicknet PhoneJack. I want to be able to pick up the analog phone (connected to the phonejack) and dial another computer (with the same hardware) or just make a regular phone call which will be decided by asterisk depending on the phone number dialed. I know that this won't be taking full advantage of asterisk, but I'm

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 am trying to construct a macro for long distance dialling. I have two internet feeds, I have all routes including Teliax on Internet A and a static route to Voxee on Internet B. I thought I could use the dialplan entry below which uses the ChanIsAvail() command to check the connection, but this returns the provider but not the username, so I don't understand how to use this for real

How I change my configuration to reduce this issue. I have this setting on my zapata.conf signalling=fxs_ks group=1 callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 channel=1 signalling=fxs_ks group=2 callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 channel=2; singalling=fxs_ks group=3 callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 channel=3; singalling=fxs_ks group=4 callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 channel=4 and for outbound calls I have this context on my

Hi, I am trying to change the dialplan to enable call recording (incoming and outgoing calls) on the "click of a button". Is it possible? All the documentation I found so far, enable recording for 'all calls' to an extension. Does this code look ok? Currently Recording "on" only for 1030 when user presses *44, start recording. *55 to stop recording

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 following: exten => _[123]XX,1,ChanIsAvail(sip/${EXTEN}) exten
