I have installed [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.0 which uses Asterisk 1.2.
Everything appears to be running great with two exceptions:
1) On outbound dialing it appears that about 50% of the time the
leading dial digit is lost by the phone company. I have 8 analog
lines connected into two digium TDM400P cards.
I think Asterisk is dialing the number before the carrier (SBC)
is ready. Is there a way to create a delay in the dialing to allow
SBC to be ready to take the dialing? Kind of like the "w" command
in modem dialing. If so, what do I need to put and in which
configuration
file?
You are absolutely correct.
Asterisk does NOT listen for dialtone, and no one seems able or
cares to fix that problem
IF, and only IF, you are dialing with DTMF, you can insert a series
of "w" into the dial string.
Search the list archives for exactly where, then you will have to
struggle with [EMAIL PROTECTED] to make the change and keep it from being
overwritten.
If, on the other hand, one uses pulse dial, then the "w" in the
dialstring will not work.
As someone else mentioned, open AMP, configure your ZAP Trunk and put
the 'w' in there. Works like a charm.
2) Is there a way to increase the volume of received vmail in
email? I've
tried listening to them on 2 different PCs and a laptop. Even
with volume
turned up all the way, they are very faint.
Another chronic Asterisk problem.
I am not sure there has been a fix to this either. Seems to only be
there with the TDM400, or perhaps the TDM400 and the X100 cards..
You might want to consider looking at your ZAP txgain and rxgain
settings. Be careful, because messing with them and setting them
improperly can result in echo problems. However, it is possible that
the ZAP channel rxgain needs to be boosted. You don't notice on
normal telephone calls because you have your phone's volume control
turned up to compensate. The Voicemail app, however, isn't able to
compensate in the same way.
