Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dial ZAP with group (g2) erroneously says call answered when it is still ringing - workaround
Hi folks,
This is what I am doing at this time :
exten => _,1,TrySystem(..command that sends a jabber message..)
exten => _,2,Set(calling=${EXTEN:0:4})
exten => _,3,ChanIsAvail(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten => _,4,Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],15,tr)
exten => _,5,Goto(_-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => _,104,Dial(Zap/g2/${calling},15,tr)
exten => _,105,Goto(_-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => _-NOANSWER,1,Voicemail(u${calling})
exten => _-NOANSWER,2,Hangup
exten => _-CHANUNAVAIL,1,Voicemail(u${calling})
exten => _-CHANUNAVAIL,2,Hangup
exten => _-CONGESTION,1,Voicemail(u${calling})
exten => _-CONGESTION,2,Hangup
exten => _-BUSY,1,Voicemail(b${calling})
exten => _-BUSY,2,Hangup
exten => _-CANCEL,1,Voicemail(u${calling})
exten => _-CANCEL,2,Hangup
Long story short, Asterisk lets me know if the SIP users has their SIP
phone on. If it is, I call it. Otherwise I call their POTS.
Probably should consider calling the POTS if SIP does not answer in
timeout time, but that's for another day :).
Thanks everyone for helping out along the way,
JES

Not of course as cute as what I had hoped for when I see the local telco
can do something like "Dial(ZAP/g2/&SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED])" and have it wait
'til the correct phone is answered :(. Thanks to C F for the "c" option
but my goal was to just have the 4 digit number call folks with and
without SIP. I would not expect users to know to press #. I don't think
dvlinedetect will quite cut it either. callprogress looked promising,
but, alas, as many others have found, it hangs up after timeout seconds.
I'll keep digging :).
Thanks again everyone,

Hi C F,

My setup is really typical. Bought the digium card with 4 ports. 2 fxs
/ 2 fxo. The 2 fxo's are connected directly to phones, belong to group
1 according to zapata.conf, and exist as "fxoks=1-2" in /etc/zaptel.conf.
The 2 fxs ports are connected to the telco, belong to group 2
according to zapata.conf, and are setup as "fxsks=3-4" in zaptel.conf.
Dial(Zap/1/&SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],15,r) works as expected,
Dial(Zap/2/&SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],15,r) works as expected
but:
Dial(Zap/g2/&SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],15,r) Rings once and reports answered
to Asterisk.
Does this support what you are explaining? I'm honestly confused by
how an fxs module operates as an fxo module?
Thanks for any more direction you might have,

wrong.
Zap FXO modules will consider themselfs answered as soon as it goes of
hook (as this is realy called answered, since all the signalling is
done inband), as will FXS modules, but FXOs are meant to call ppl
using in band signalling, and that is what tells you (the caller) if
the person answers or not, but because it uses in band signalling it
is actualy answred as soon as you pick up the phone (just like your
ananlog handset that is plugged into an FXS module *answers* the line
as soon as it goes off hook, even though it is just trying to make a
phone call). The only way to work this around is if you use c in the
dial command for the zap channel, but then the called person has to
press # to connect the call.
Hope this helps.

Hi Folks,
Took some effort to even realize what was happening and I did not find
anything obvious in the archives or FAQs to explain it.
Simply put, if I have a dial plan that dials to a specific ZAP line (ie
exten => _,n,Dial(Zap/2/${calling}&SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],15,tr))
then both the SIP and the ZAP are called and ZAP keeps reporting
"ringing" until they are answered or a timeout occurs. This is the
correct expectation as I understand it.
But... When I change the ZAP channel to use a group (ie exten =>
_,n,Dial(Zap/g2/${calling}&SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],15,tr)) then I
always get something like :
-- SIP/8438-37ca is ringing
-- Zap/3-1 answered SIP/8438-be27
Even though the Zap channel is _not_ answered. The phone does keep
ringing and I can complete the call if I pick up the phone.
So using single channels (either of the 2 I use) works, but together in
a group gives me these results. I am using the latest CVS of everything.
Any explanation, workaround greatly appreciated :),
