I currently have about 50 polycom 501 phones on my asterisk setup. The dialplan is set to work with mysql (realtime), and all of the extensions for the phones route through the same macro (stdexten). This all works fine until I tried to set up notify status.

On voip-info, they say do something like...

4444,hint,SIP/4444
4444,1,Dial(SIP/4444)
blah blah blah

This functionality works fine. But what if you have a macro
s,hint,SIP/${ARG1}
s,1,Dial(SIP/${ARG1}

this adds a "s" hint which obviously doesn't work, instead of a hint for 4444 as it should.
Yes. Put in the correct hint. There is no reason that "4444,hint,SIP/4444" would not work in a macro.

So, if I understand you correctly, my macro would look something vaguely like...

[macro-stdexten]
${ARG1},hint,SIP/${ARG1}
s,1,Dial(${ARG1})?

This will work? My understand was that by going into a macro, you were going to be using the "s" extension. I'm not sure how that hint would get called if its not inside the s extension.
I have no idea, but as I understand it, Hints are separate from extensions.

I guess you could do something like:

[macro-stdexten]
exten => s,1,Goto(${MACRO_EXTEN},1)

exten => _XXXX,hint,SIP/${ARG1}
exten => _XXXX,1,Dial(${ARG1})

I do this sort of thing in many of my macros that Dial somewhere. I seem to remember something about hints not working for pattern matching. or working weirdly.

Hints do not have to be part of the steps in a dialplan, and if you want devices to be listeners, they shouldn't be. Also you had stated you where using realtime, and the hint priority doesnt work in realtime, I submitted a bug about this and it was rejected as won't fix, but was explained as, not going to be fixed anytime soon.

At an rate make a hint context that has devices mapped to extensions,
[hint-context]
4444,hint,Sip/4444
4445,hint,Sip/4445

and the like, then add that context in sip.conf for all devices both monitored and listeners,
subscribecontext=hint-context

Then ast will send update notifications about these devices to watchers properly.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Anthony,

I didn't realize you could do hints like that. This will be very interesting if I can make it work....

In extensions.conf, I added

[hint-context]
4444,hint,SIP/4444
5053,hint,SIP/5053

I think added an include to my main context (internal). I'm assuming these need to be included.

In sip.conf, I added:
subscribecontext = hint-context
notifyringing = yes

and in the phone directories, I added: <bw>#</bw> to the corresponding entries.

However, the phones show as "offline" and using "show hints" from the cli also says no hints.

Any ideas?
