I really like the idea. I will try to ask. I don't know if they will be able to do that easily though. They ask a week or two for any changes to the hunt programming. Thanks, Bruce On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 3:29 PM, Edo edo.eku...@gmail.com wrote: Hello.. maybe you can just have the telco do an

Ok... They normally do it here within a few hours.. This will not be a change to the hunt group just a forward immediately from one number to another. If the number was functional you could even have done it yourself using the forward code. On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 6:04 AM, bruce bruce

Thanks guys for all the input. I have just noticed that the solution doesn't work for me because the 20 lines are in a hunt. And the line in problem is actually the 4th line and not the 1st. So, for incoming calls, if I have more than 3 calls the 4th one will keep ringing for ever and it won't go

In your zapata.conf, under group 0 do: channel = 1-3,5-20. It works for PRI but haven't tried it for FXO. Have you tried disabling this line in zaptel.conf? Maybe that'll help. Zeeshan A Zakaria -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. On 2010-04-08 8:29 AM, bruce bruce bruceb...@gmail.com

I am not sure if unplugging line from card would work as it's still in a hunt and calls will keep coming through that number and won't fall over to next line unless there is a BUSY on the line. There is no timeout; it's a hunt on BUSY. Plus, I don't have site access for two days :-) For calls out

Thanks for the input. Yep, a busy feature on zaptel is an absolute necessary. See, this is a sort of problem that comes back to everyone and goes away quickly, hence the feature wasn't developed probably. But it will make a great addition and will help people in situations like this. On Thu,

Indeed the telco has no interest in changing the cable, and by the time they send someone to look at the cable it's a sunny day and everything dried out. Hence the order for PRI. Can't wait to fire it up tomorrow. But, taking this number out of hunt is not so much of an option now as it will cost

Hi Guys, Currently, I have a Sangoma A400 installed with 20 ZAP PSTN analogue lines. The first line is giving me problems due to rain (probably coroded line). My server using FreePBX dials out with g0 (group 0 which includes all 20 lines) and it happens that the bad line is the very first line.

Since this is hopefully a temporary problem, it would be simpler to simply do zap destroy channel 1 from a CLI prompt. But yes, the ; in the conf will comment these lines until you undo it. -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com
