similar to: LookupCIDName on outgoing calls

Hello When using LookupCIDName, Asterisk 1.4 says that it's deprecated, and we should use "${DB(cidname/${CALLERID(num)})}" instead, but I don't know how to use it: ;DEPRECATED exten => s,1,LookupCIDName ;ERROR exten => s,1,${DB(cidname/${CALLERID(num)})} I guess I should use this as a parameter to a function, but which one? Thank you.

Is it possible in any way to use an Outlook contacts database as the source for the internal Asterisk database that is used for callerid lookups? Thanks!

Hi list! Running Asterisk 20.0.0 on CentOS 7, logging CDRs using cdr_adaptive_odbc to mariadb-server-5.5.68 (via mariadb-connector-odbc-3.1.7-ga-rhel7) Using chan_sip. I'm facing the problem when there is a sudden spike of calls, some of the calls that are being made during those spikes hang forever basically. This looks like this: [root at voip]# asterisk -rx 'core show channels

Hello! I have been doing some tests with call transfers and I have been looking at the CDRs that Asterisk generates. Scenario 1: A calls B B answers and does a blind transfer to C (using # key) C answers and talks with A Scenario 2: A calls B B answers and does an attended transfer do C (using the phone's transfer key) C answers, B hangs up, and C talks with A For scenario 1, the CDR shows

When you use a product which version number is 11 or even 12, you might go with the assumption all big bugs are fixed and then you find there is a huge, important, expensive bug still running in the code we are relaying upon... The problem is simple. If you transfer a call, that dialing will be not reported in the CDR, so no billing will happen. This is a simple example: Extension 100 calls

Hello I want to setup an Asterisk in several offices with 4 BRI ISDN. I am looking for recommendations on hardware. Criteria would be ease of setup, reliability and cost. The Eicon 4 BRI cards seem fairly pricey. Shame Digium don't do a ISDN BRI card. Angus -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello, Sometimes, when a call comes in from the PSTN through our VoIP gateway, the information that is sent to our web page that logs calls includes the original CID name instead of the one that is we expect to be rewritten on the fly using Asterisk's LookupCIDName: ================= ;extensions.conf [internal] exten => group,1,LookupCIDName exten =>

Hello, all. I see that I can use the C flag in Dial() to reset the CDRs and plan to use this for outbound calling since our carrier does not bill us until the call is answered. We'd like to do this for inbound calls from the PSTN since we pay for inbound and outbound minutes. However, it doesn't seem to make sense to do this with Dial() because we have an automated attendant which

Hello, I have a rather odd problem with Asterisk detecting faxes. I have two POTS lines coming into the box (TDM400P). Line 1 is for voice, Line 2 is fof fax. When I set them up with channel => 1-2 in zapata.conf, all is fine, but as soon as I have two channel => definitions, Asterisk is unable to detect faxes. The fax line is not supposed to ring local phones, so the most obvious

Hello, When I bridge an incoming and outgoing call (attempting to simulate call-forwarding) I'm only getting one CDR -- that of the outgoing call. A (PSTN) calls B (residing on Asterisk) and the Asterisk calls C (cell phone on PSTN) and bridges the call. The only CDR created is from B to C. I have even tried using Answer() and ForkCDR() to get two CDRs, but to no avail. I am starting to

Hi list! I'm trying to get PrivacyManager working but for some reason it always thinks that CallerID is present (when it isn't). I get this on the console: == Primary D-Channel on span 1 up -- Accepting voice call from '' to '0711234567' on channel 0/2, span 1 -- Executing Ringing("Zap/2-1", "") in new stack -- Executing

Because i want a ringing signal while people are in a waiting queue i've created a wav file containing our local ringing indication If I make an inside call to the queue, the correct sound is played, but when i make an external call, no signal is heard. everything else looks ok, and all other functions are ok.... Can somebody point me out what i could have done wrong? my musiconhold.conf

In order to bill some of my customers I am trying to convince * to write a full set of cdrs. I found that * does not log cdrs outgoing calls on a zap pri channel when incoming and outgoing calls share the same span. So far I tried to play around with the 'C' option for the dial application and tried to set overlapdialing to 'no'. Interesting enough calls coming in on IAX2 or SIP

So, in the end looks like this setuptools 36 was deleted from pypi. There is an issue [1] open on setuptools. I can confirm by trying to force to install this version: $ pip install setuptools==36.0.0 Collecting setuptools==36.0.0 Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement setuptools==36.0.0 (from versions:<many version numbers>) No matching distribution found for

Hello, I'm working on some dialplan rules to pull multiple users into a conference call. I have some fairly straightforward rules which start up a new MeetMe conference, allow escape with the * key to invite more users, then use a features.conf sequence to bring the new user into the conference with ChannelRedirect. The problem I'm running into is the time in the MeetMe conference

Hi, as far as I know my problem is not a bug but wanted behaviour. Let's assume the following dialplan: exten => 123,1,Answer exten => 123,n,Dial(DAHDI/g0/00492112233,20,g) [...] exten => 123,n,Hangup I do an dial-in with my SIP-Client (or phone). The Dial-Application starts the outdial and I get connected with my partner. After hangup, only 1 CDR is generated. But I(!) need 2

Greetings list, Before I go and write something from scratch, are there any kind souls here who already have a nice code fragment that works our charging for calls split across charging zones? There are essentially 4 possibilities for a call: 1) call is completely within one zone, so it's nice and simple. 2) call starts in peak and finishes in the immediately following cheap zone. 3) call

I have created an asterisk.org blog entry: http://www.asterisk.org/node/48358 to describe what I will shortly be committing to trunk to correct the weaknesses of CDRs, that asterisk users and developers have been complaining about for quite some time. Highlights: Restructuring the code and philosophy of CDRs. Plans to eliminate the ForkCDR() application Plans to create

Hello, I have an application that needs to record outgoing calls. It's running on Asterisk 1.4.18, with CDR data stored in MySQL. Outgoing calls are recorded based on their uniqueid. When outgoing calls are placed, there is a line like this on my extensions.conf: exten => _.,n,MixMonitor(/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/${UNIQUEID}.gsm) For regular outgoing calls, this works fine. The
