Hello, I'm configuring an Asterisk PBX to use as an answering machine. I have a FXO card connected to the line, and other analog telephones connected to the same line. The PBX answers and redirects you to the voicemail after a delay.
The problem is that even if I pickup any analog phone in the line before the PBX does, it answers after the delay anyway. And I couldn't find how to prevent this, or even if this is supposed to happen. My FXO card is a cheap X100P (source of problems, I know), and I'm using the Asterisk version included in Debian Squeeze (1.6.2.9). My dial plan looks like this: [incoming] exten => s,1,Wait(8) exten => s,2,Answer exten => s,3,BackGround(wellcome-message) exten => s,4,Voicemail(1234) exten => #,1,Hangup I don't know if this is related, but I'm in Spain and I had to add: hanguponpolarityswitch=yes to the chan_dahdi.conf file so that asterisk detects the remote hangup. I also added: answeronpolarityswitch=yes but this didn't help. It seems to be used just to detect the answer when you are calling, not when receiving a call. I'd appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks! -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
