I have been having a very similar problem. Has anyone here gotten a DIALSTATUS for calls started with originate?
I did some research and saw some posts that local channels are the solution to this problem. However, I could not find examples of how to use local channels with originate. I could not get it to work. I posted a topic (Using Local Channels with originate) to this list yesterday with the details about what I had tried. Maybe you will see what I missed. -Brian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Collins Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 11:18 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] API Originate Action - distinguishing betweenNoAnswer and Invalid phone number ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roi Stork Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 6:31 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] API Originate Action - distinguishing between NoAnswer and Invalid phone number On 2/1/07, Michael Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Is there a way to distinguish between a no answer and an invalid? For me, a 'failed' attempt is dialing an invalid number, and I'd like the CDRs to reflect that. I'd like a no answer to be as 'successful' as a busy. The ${DIALSTATUS} channel variable stores the result of the dial attempt: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+variable+DIALSTATUS You can store it on the CDR's userfield column using the cdr function: Set(CDR(userfield)=${DIALSTATUS}) Actually, I can't. The dialplan execution goes straight to the 'failed' extension. When it does so, the DIALSTATUS variable gets cleared out. I have this in my dialplan: exten => failed,n,Noop(Dial status is '${DIALSTATUS}') The log yields this: -- Executing NoOp("OutgoingSpoolFailed", "Dial status is ") in new stack Is there perhaps a way to make DIALSTATUS persist or get populated when the dialplan hits the failed extension? -MC _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
