[asterisk-users] Strange behaviour with Dial cmd

2007-02-14 Thread Il Neofita 

I have this simple context

I am register to an external provider and when I am not home I would like to
transfer the phone outside
The problem that the call goes in loop

I cannot understand why.

Can you figure out my error?

Thank you

I don't see any loop in records below?  What your dial plan does is what you 
told it to: ring for 5 sec, then hang up.  Because the calling party hasn't 
given up, your dial plan rings again.  Where's the error?

This is the situation

on my mobile over and over


I would like to stop it.


Well, you'll have to decide how you want to "hang up" the caller: Do you 
want him/her to be ignored, or to be told that you are not available (like 
an answering machine)?  You also need to tell  Asterisk how to determine if 
the next "invite" comes from the same caller during the same "session". 
(These are not very easy tasks but doable.)


In either case, you need to add a flag to your dial plan, set it after it 
rings your cell, and reset it once Asterisk determines that THIS caller has 
been "hung up". (Of course you can do what "Vacation" does in E-mail: set up 
a flag for each identifiable caller, and only call your mobile once until 
you reset them all.  The algorithm would be simpler but more unidentifiable 
callers will be ignored.)  Your dial plan will check this flag before 
ringing your cell, then branch accordingly.


Hope this helps.

Thank you for the answer.
Right know I solved sending after everything to the voicemail.
But I tought that hangup was suppose to close the call, however, is not the
case and a really did not catch why.

I will try to read a bit more.

But I tought that hangup was suppose to close the call, however, is not the

Now I see where the confusion comes from.  Asterisk doesn't really speak 
English - or Chinese for that matter:-)  In telephony, there is no way for 
the callee to tell the caller to stop ringing - unless you "answer" it 
first.  Once you answer, you can do a number of things, the rudest being to 
immediately hang up. (I saw live people doing this intentionally.)  Your 
only other option really is to ignore.


I just thought up this simple method to ignore: divert the dial plan to 
simply Wait() an unreasonable amount of time in hope that the caller hangs 
up.


exten => s,1,Dial(yourcell,5)
exten => s,n,Wait(300)

That's assuming your provider provides disconnect supervision.  You can also 
Play(prerecorded,noanswer) if your provider supports it. (Won't hurt to try 
even if not - but disconnect supervision is a must.)

That isn't exactly true - ISDN and IAX (SIP?) support the concept of  
rejecting a call without answering it.
The asterisk dial plan only supports this indirectly. If there is no  
extension that maps to the called number
in the relevant context then asterisk will reject the call without  
answering. I don't think this helps the OP's
situation, but for the sake of the archives I think its worth  
clarifying

Asterisk supports this directly by issuing the hangup command before
the answer command.  However, when using an analog interface like FXO
the line has no way of knowing you just hung up and will continue to
ring, which asterisk will see as a new call. in my experience even
when using a PRI if i dont give the pri cause the provider re
initiates the call.

This would only happen if you blindly run two Dial lines in sequence in

Check the value of DIALSTATUS then decide of you want to dial the 2nd 
number.  See [macro-std-exten] in extensions.conf for an example of 
checking the value of DIALSTATUS.


The only time you might want two Dial lines in a row is if you always, 
not matter what, want to dial the 2nd number.
