Re: [asterisk-users] [HELP]: Auto-answering calls placed from call files

2014-01-29 Thread Ioan Indreias 
Hello Steve,

Have you tried to send the automated call to your dialplan instead of the
phone?

For example, instead of calling SIP/aastra_phone call
Local/aastra_phone@auto-answer-context and tweak auto-answer-context from
your dialplan as needed.

HTH,
Ioan

Re: [asterisk-users] [HELP]: Auto-answering calls placed from call files

2014-01-28 Thread Tech Support 
Although I haven't tried this for this particular example, instead of
using a .call file, you could probably originate a call using Ryan Bullock's
Asterisk::AMI PERL module
http://search.cpan.org/~greenbean/Asterisk-AMI-v0.2.8. It's one of the most
valuable tools that I have and I've written literally hundreds of PERL
scripts using it. You should check it out. It's got good documentation and
examples to go along with it. I also use the AGISpeedy FastAGI package
written in PERL and there's also an AGISpeedy package written in php that is
also a valuable tool.
Regards;
John

This isn't a development question, as it doesn't relate to the actual
Asterisk source code itself. Cross-posting across the -dev and -users lists
isn't helpful either, as pretty much everyone who is subscribed to the
asterisk-dev list is also subscribed to the asterisk-users list.

As SIPAddHeader is a dialplan application and not a dialplan function, it
cannot be used from a call file. One approach to performing an outbound call
that requires SIPAddHeader - and that doesn't rely on undocumented behaviour
- is to use the call file to create a Local channel in the dialplan that
dials the SIP channel, and use SIPAddHeader from there. A quick Google
indicates others have used a similar approach in the past as well [1].

I'm trying to have an automated call to an Aastra SIP phone and have

call. I am able to apply the SIP headers manually and get that working 
(using SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: info=alert-autoanswer) in the

the sip headers - there is only basic customizations allowed to setup

Does anyone know how I could place automated outgoing calls that would 
have the proper sip headers added to it that would allow the call to 
be auto-answered?

Many thanks,

So I take it in the call file you have it set to call Dial(SIP/something) ?
If rather than dialling the sip destination immediately you dialled a 
local channel then it could add the custom header and then initiate the 
dial to the sip destination.

[asterisk-users] [HELP]: Auto-answering calls placed from call files

2014-01-28 Thread Steve McCann 
Hello All,

I've asked this on the asterisk-dev list, so sorry for cross-posting. So
far I'm not sure how to accomplish this without looking at the source code
or looking at some other way to get around this issue.

I'm trying to have an automated call to an Aastra SIP phone and have the
call auto-answeredby the phone. I know that a SIP call placed to the phone
can be auto-answered if a certain SIP header is added to the call. I am
able to apply the SIP headers manually and get that working (using
SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: info=alert-autoanswer) in the dialplan, but for
call files, I don't seem to be able to edit any of the sip headers - there
is only basic customizations allowed to setup the calls.

Does anyone know how I could place automated outgoing calls that would have
the proper sip headers added to it that would allow the call to be
auto-answered?
