Hello This is a fun one for the list... Twice now, the Police have contacted us to say they have had a silent call then hangup from our landline number to the 999 service. As a matter of course, they follow up these calls in case someone is in distress. Nobody here was in distress - well, no more than normal! The Police aren't hugely happy when we tell them it must be a mistake. Thing

I'm trying to keep the DND status of my Snom phones and the astdb in line but I'm stuck on integrating my gui DND button which talks to * using the manager interface (actually it uses Astmanproxy as the gui host is on a different network to asterisk and can't see the Snom's across the network). All's working fine in my Dialplan; when someone dials the code for DND-on or

Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent receptionists phone? Aastra? Grandstream? Something with (potentially) lots of BLFs, large(ish) screen, headset and most importantly the ability to transfer calls? I've installed five Snom 370s that seemed ideal but my client is very very unhappy as the Snom 370 can't transfer a call correctly if there's another call coming in (details

I've just started deploying these (well the T28P model) after years of Snom issues and they look pretty good (although the documentation is execrable; if you thought the Snom stuff was obtuse Yealink have got them knocked into a cocked hat!). Anyway, for provisioning I use HTTP with a DHCP entry like:- # # Yealink Phones # group { #

Obvious comment really but given LEG based CDR, one can determine the 'Simple' data but you can't work it the other way. I'd therefore find LEG based CDR more useful as the granularity (time on Hold, in Queue, Waiting on pre-xfer ring

I have two Asterisk systems that can route to each other via a VPN with firewalls disabled for testing purposes. Each Server can see (tested via nmap) UDP port 5060 on the other. So... I thought that I could simply use a Dial command in Server A's config to place a SIP call to Server B... but it doesn't seem to work. Server A (192.168.1.33) has: exten => *136,1,Dial(SIP/90 at

Is there a SIP header I can set (for Snom and Yealink phones if that's relevant) or any other mechanism to tell a phone to ignore a particular call from it's missed call list? I have bits of the dialplan that ring groups of phones eg: exten => 200,1,Dial(Sip/112&SIP/113&SIP/114) and I don't want such calls being recorded by the phone as a missed call. Calls to the

I'd like to be able to generate a Manager Event from the dialplan but can't seem to find a way to do it. Alternatively, trigger and Event when a record in AstDB gets changed. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. By way of explanation, I've a app that connects to astmanproxy and I'd like it to know when a call group gets put into Nightservice.

Hi, I am trying to implement the callback feature of our old phone system. This feature may go by a different name in asterisk? It worked as follows. If phone A called phone B and it was BUSY, you press a button to enable a callback. User A is free to continue work or make other calls. What this meant is that when both phones became free, phone A would ring, on answer it would call phone B

This is concerning an Asterisk 1.4.18 server. We have approximately 70 DID numbers. Incoming calls are placed into the "incoming" context (by zapata.conf) and are routed based on the dialed number. I want to do some manipulation (CallerID name override) to all incoming calls before they are routed. I would prefer to avoid duplicating the necessary code in each DID extension stanza,

Hi I have a situation where I want to be able to count how many times a caller goes round a loop of "Please hold...", "please continue to hold". I have found an example on voip-info but I can't get it to work. Not sure if I've got some syntax wrong somewhere? All that happens at the moment, is I hit is the playback of "som-debug" at 9999. Any ideas would

Hello Looking for some help with a rather odd problem. We have Asterisk 1.4.10 running on a Linux box, within our Windows domain. Our Domain Controller is a Windows 2003 server, providing the normal Windows domain functions, such as DHCP and DNS. When we lose either our Domain Controller (for a reboot/maintenance) or external ADSL access, Asterisk drops all SIP registrations - even internal
