(Sorry for top-posting)
I'm making good progress. However, so as not to clutter the list I will post my solution on the wiki in the next few days. I'll send out the link as soon as I've got something substantial for you to review. -MC _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian K.

That should be "I am using analog for the proof of concept but plan to use PRI for the actual system"... _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian K. Alexander,Jr. (Vision Point Systems) Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 8:44 AM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Using Local Channels with Originate Right now I am using analog but the plan is to use PRI for the proof of concept but the actual system would use PRI. I know that the analog support is supposed to be somewhat unreliable but I have yet to get it to detect even a busy - not even once. I can only assume that I missed some setting somewhere but I can't find it. I am curious to learn more about your solution. If you post more information I might be able to help you with your R&D. In any event thanks for posting up and in advance for keeping us posted on your progress. -Brian _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Collins Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 4:21 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Using Local Channels with Originate I haven't quite gotten this working yet but I am going to update the thread with what I have learned. Maybe this will help the next guy who tries to figure this out... The trick to using the DIALSTATUS seems to be to put it in the handler for the h (hang-up extension). [outdialer] exten => 100, 1, Dial(${numberToDial}) exten => h, 1, Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1) exten => s-ANSWER,1,NoOp("Answered") exten => s-BUSY,1,NoOp("Busy") exten => s-NOANSWER,1,NoOp("Not answered") exten => s-CANCEL,1,NoOp("Cancelled") exten => s-CONGESTION,1,NoOp("Fast busy") exten => s-CHANUNAVAIL,1,NoOp("Channel unavailable") [dialerplan] exten => s,1,Background(demo-congrats) exten => s,n,WaitExten so on ... Here are the manager commands I am using: Action: login Username: test Secret: nottelling Action: originate Channel: Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/n Context: dialerplan Extension: s Priority: 1 Variable: numberToDial=ZAP/4/1234567890 Action: logoff I am always getting ANSWERED for ${DIALSTAUS} so something is not quite right. Hopefully I am getting closer. Brian, What kind of Zap hardware/telco lines are you using? I am using PRI and I am able to get a dial status in the hangup extension. The problem I run into is that I get "NO ANSWER" as the hangup cause even for invalid phone numbers... I also get cluttered CDR's. In the meantime I'm working on a solution that I hope will give the best of both worlds. I'm relying on the API events instead of local channels. I'll post more information when I've made more progress. However, I've made 2500 test calls and I haven't lost a single 'OriginateSuccess' or 'OriginateFailure' event. (I'm keying on these, specifically the 'OriginateFailure' event because it has a 'Reason' value that gets populated: 0=Invalid, 3=No Ans, 5=Busy.) Hope to have more info posted this week. -MC
