[asterisk-users] Tracking T1/PRI channel status - inbound vs. outbound
I need to monitor the states of my T1/PRI Zap channels. Specifically, I need to be able to programmatically determine whether a channel is unused, carrying an inbound call, or carrying an outbound call. Using the manager interface, I can easily tell whether a Zap channel is used or not by looking at the results of: Action: Command Command: zap show channel x Or: Action: Status However, nothing in those results seems to reliably indicate whether the channel received an incoming call or was used to make an outgoing call. I can make educated guesses based on the value of Caller ID or Calling TON or the combination of Channel and Link, but none of these heuristics seem robust. I've even tried GetVar-ing various channel functions, to no avail. This seems like a case where a simple flag should be set somewhere, but I haven't found one. What's the most elegant way to do this? Thanks. -- Kevin DeGraaf ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
