Re: [Asterisk-Users] Billing inbound calls per minute

2006-02-20 Thread Darren Wiebe 
Hours of struggling later, I have found the problem.  Here is the 
correct format for those outgoing calls.


SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED]||L(54081429:6:3)|Hj

I'll try to get a patch done up one of these days.

Would you share with me how'd you do billing on a DID
(if you do), and through what Technology?
Anything that goes Local here is ANSWEREDTIME zero.

Thanks Daren,
Yes, my version of astcc is the most recent one.
Asterisk-1.2.4
I have found you patch 0004300 from 16 May 2005.
Probably it's time to reverse it back since something has changed
in Asterisk that affects this... as you said.
My observation is:
If I keep:
$dialstr = Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]{path}|30|HL/n( . ($maxtime * 60 * 1000) . 
:6:3);
Either the billseconds is empty(when dial out through Local), either there is 
aZOMBIE when dialing in. 
I put back the dialstring to:
Local/$phone/$res-{path}|30|HL/n( . ($maxtime * 60 * 1000) . 
:6:3);

The only difference that it looks only for is a default context.

extensions.conf
[inbound]
; 10 digits DID = _XX = cardnumber
; 
exten = _XX ,1,Answer()

exten = _XX ,n,Set(DB(RCID/${CALLERIDNUM})=${CALLERIDNUM})
exten = _XX ,n,Set(realcid=${DB(RCID/${CALLERIDNUM})})
exten = _XX ,n,Noop(${REALCID})
;exten = _XX ,n,Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=4)
exten = _XX ,n,Set(CALLERID(number)=${EXTEN})
exten = _XX ,n,Set(CALLERID(name)= ${REALCID})
;exten = t,3,Goto(h|1)
;exten = _XX 2,Goto(s|1)
;exten = s,1,Wait,1 ; is this preventing HUP?
exten = h,1,DeadAGI(astcc.agi,${CALLERIDNUM},${CALLERIDNUM},4) 
; must be h,1 as per Michiel van Baak note(above).

exten = h,2,Hangup
[internal]
; i.e. 360 1234567 = DID = card
exten = 3601234567,1,Macro(stdexten,3601234567,sip/did_owner)
[default]
include = internal
[personal]
exten = t,1,Hangup
include = inbound

Result:
- ANSWEREDTIME is OK
- inbound call billed on the callee
- there is CALLERID(name) for callerid in the cdrs(kind of)
There is still a small but looong problem - Timeout about 10 
secs long while the IAX2/incoming Hangup in personal,t,1.

But CDR is updated after that and the call is billed as expected.

Sorry for the long explanation.
What do you think? Is there something suspicious in
that solution?
Thanks,
benchev

 That probably explains it.
 IIRC, from when I was still testing ASTCC, when calling a Local channel,
 the AGI suffers from short term memory loss and forgets the values of
 channel variables even if /n is used in the dial string.
 I checked my test server logs and while I can verify that ASTCC's CDR
 does have blank duration and billsec fields for the Local calls, *'s CDR
 records them.
Similar here, and I read the patch from Darren May, 2005
where Local/$phone/$res-{path}|30|HL/n was changed to
Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]{path}|30|HL/n

snip
 I do billing based on account number so clients are free to call from
 any phone. I don't check callerid.
 Since each account is based on the phone number registered by the
 client, I can just chop off the 2 digit prefix and set their callerid
 with the result.
Yes, I do that also with another instance of astcc, I call astcc-disa.agi
to allow clients from outside to enter * and do things.
 [makecall]
 exten = s,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=${CARDNO:2})
 exten = s,n,DeadAGI(astcc.agi,${CARDNO})
 exten = s,n,Goto(nf2xsubmenu,s,1)

 All my calls are routed to IAX2 or SIP or Zap.
And this is my problem because my target is to use Local, but
please follow my answer, within that thread, to Darren.

Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks, tried that several ways but no help since ${EXTEN}=h.
Probably will try with CHANISAVAIL or ${CHANNEL} or something...

Sure ASTCC works, but I am talking about inbound calls
where 1122334455 is a DID as well as a card number being
charged for the incoming calls.  Thus ${EXTEN}=DID=card i.e.
exten = 1122334455,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=${EXTEN})

Mayby I should not assosiate DID from card(user) and create a separate
peer for the DID on a different port.

Any other ideas? Thanks.
