I would probably set the "calling" server with a specific callerID, match on that caller ID on the recipient server and then log to a database or trigger a script to import my data. By doing that I can confirm the carrier side of things are up and that my server is actually processing calls. With some carriers providing a false ring, I don't rely on hearing ringing as the line is actually doing anything.
Thank you, Rebecca Robinson Telecom Administrator Office: 913.648.5858 ext. 291 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Aurimas Skirgaila Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2012 8:36 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] checking if a phone number is UP hi, We have a phone number from third party provider which is used for inbound calls. How could I monitor if this phone number is reachable? the initial idea doesn't sound elegant: - on my SIP server I set couple seconds of ringing before Answer(). - the monitoring server calls to that phone number for few seconds, checks if it "hears" the ringing and hangs up the call. ** I use Nagios to check if my services are UP using check_sip, but it this situation I'm more concerned about my DID provider than my server. It's just like pinging a phone number.
