[Asterisk-Users] Calls not going through

2006-02-23 Thread duane . pudenz

When a call is placed out the Zap interface there is a long pause followed
by an error message from the telco that the call can not be placed as
dialed.

We have a tdm2413e with 11 1FB (POTS) lines.  The number being dialed is a
working local number, all dialed numbers get the same error.

What should we be looking for ?

I had a similar problem, basically asterisk would be sending dialled
digits before the telco was ready to pick them up, in my case some
numbers would work but most wouldn't and i'd get messages from the telco
like you described, the solution I'm using: put a delay before dialing
the number:
from my extensions.conf:
PAUSE=w
[trunklocal]
exten = _NXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${PAUSE}${EXTEN},${TIMEOUT},W)
exten = _NXX,2,Congestion

similar for the long distance and international calls
basically dial a w before sending the actual number.

Asterisk is probably dialing to quickly and the CO is yet ready to receive
dtmf digits. Rather common problem. Insert a w in your dial string
just before the $EXTN (or whatever you're using for a string).

The w is not really documented in the 'show application dial', but it
does insert a delay of about 250 milliseconds. If that doesn't work, then
try multiple w's (as in www).
