Re: [asterisk-users] BLF and call-limit in 1.8
It seems I only assumed a call-limit value of 1 in the DB would make call waiting not work. I tested it now, and because that sets the value in Asterisk to INT_MAX, a call-limit value of 1 in the DB does allow for call waiting. The same value in sip.conf does not. -Pan - Original Message - From: Pan B.

Re: [asterisk-users] BLF and call-limit in 1.8
I finally found the real culprit. The call-limit DB field was mapped to both call-limit and callcounter in the view asterisk uses. The latter is what caused the strange behaviour. Removed both and everything works as expected now. -Pan - Original Message - From: Pan B.

Re: [asterisk-users] BLF and call-limit in 1.8
But Asterisk doesn't send ANY notification regarding change of state (like ringing) unless call-limit is 1. In my opinion, ringing status (and probably several others) shouldn't take into consideration at what point a device is considered as busy. This worked fine in 1.4 (we skipped 1.6) and seems broken in 1.8. Busy-level is 1 in both configurations. After some more investigation, I may have found a clue. When I type sip show peer peer, the following values are reported: With DB value 4 or 3 or 2 or 0: Call limit : 0 With DB value 1: Call limit : 2147483647 This doesn't look correct to me... -Pan - Original Message - From: Olle E.
