The manager interface is event driven and designed to be useful for driving gui applications. Also included is a small bug fix to agilib for channel names that had a : as part of the name... most notably IAX channels. Docs for agilib are complete and available using pydoc.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Hook Flash INFO messages
On Fri, 2003-07-11 at 22:12, Sean P. Robertson wrote: Here is a question that needs a few opinions... Recently we installed a couple of FXS gateways into a site with a SIP Proxy/Softswitch other than Asterisk. One of the things that the users on this site need to do is receive calls on single line phones on the FXS gateways and then hookflash and transfer them to other SIP users. We found that the FXS units, true to their nature as VoIP gateways, saw the hookflash and passed a SIP INFO (event hookflash) back to the Proxy. The Proxy sent this message on to the calling SIP phone which replied that this feature is not implemented. The gateway manufacturer says that the Proxy should process the INFO packet, place the calling endpoint on hold (as a PBX would), stream dialtone to the gateway prompting the user to dial the digits indicating the destination to whom the calling party should be transferred, and then do a transfer. The Proxy manufacturer says that the gateway should see the hookflash, Hold the caller locally (as a SIP phone would), and give new dialtone to the single line phone prompting the user to dial the digits digits indicating the destination to whom the calling party should be transferred, and then send a complete transfer sequence to the Proxy. My question is, how would Asterisk handle a situation like this? Are there any opinions as to how this scenario should be handled? Asterisk currently only handles dtmf INFO messages. --Karl Sean -- Karl Putland [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

This I am finding to be a problem.. switches are actually searched after the local dialplan. The problem is that _90027. is a can_match not exact_match so * continues to search the switch for an exact match until the digit timeout or until you're done dialing at which point it uses the local match of _90027.. After dialing take a look at iax2 show cache to see the results of the lookups against the switch. --Karl My setup.. UA1--[AST1]--{IAX}--[AST2]--UA2 | | PSTN1 PSTN2 I use switch on AST1 to connect to AST2... As you can see I have PSTN connections on both and also the IAX connection is not permanent.. I have wildcard extensions that define which PSTN line to use when dialing out.. For example I have the following on AST1 in extensions.conf.. [extensions] switch = IAX2/user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/extensions and my local extensions are in this context.. [dialout-uk] exten = _90044[1-9].,1,Dial(IAX2/user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) [dialout-int] exten = _90027.,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN}) and some other country definitions.. What is happeneing is that when I break the IAX connection(this way I can see the errors) and I dial 9002731555 from UA1, AST1 tries to look for extension 9 on AST2 via switch and times out then tries extention 90 on AST2 then 900 then 9002 then 90027 etc... you get the idea.. Only once it has tried every number will it move to the _90027. definition and use the PSTN line attached to AST1 as it is supposed to.. This whole sequence takes a while to run through and by then you would have hung up the phone and tried again.. I have tried moving things around in the extensions.conf file but it seems that switch has a higher priority than local wildcard extension definitions.. Surely ALL local definitions (static or wildcard) should take priority over switching to the remote Asterisk box?? so switch should be the last thing to try when all else has failed... or am I missing somthing??

On Fri, 2003-06-13 at 16:07, John Todd wrote: Hmm... this gets quickly back to my long-standing desire to have more comprehensive call completion codes being handed back by the channels to the dialplan. Just a couple of comments. I agree with jtodd about the call completion codes, but I'd like to put this out for some thought as well. Why is it that Dial is the thing that waits for the call to be completed? Why not have dial just dial, then have applications like WaitForAnswer, WaitForDisconnect etc...? This would give more granularity to the call flow control and allow someone to get brave and write a WaitForHuman or whatever. Or for that matter... since extensions.conf is starting to look like a scripting language, Why not embed a perl or Python interpreter into Asterisk to allow for programming extension logic in whatever your favorite language is. Just some food for though. --Karl The current method of throwing certain replies into a big bucket called Busy and others into a big bucket called Error and auto-jumping to certain priorities based on those two results is probably getting towards the end of it's useful life as people get more sophisticated with their dialing plans and error control. Perhaps a method of selectably moving to a new method of error handling is in order. Instead of building a million little exception cases, why not hand some values back to the dialplan logic and let the person building the IVR create their own GotoIf tree? See my post on the topic: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2003-April/009797.html JT There's not really a way to do that that right now, although we could add something like AST_CONTROL_INUSE which could represent that the channel is in use actually.
