Re: [asterisk-users] BLF functionality
Thanks Everyone for all of the help. We got the lamps working on a test 1.4 server. We will now try to port the changes over to our production 1.2 server. Just like Sean wrote our 'general' section lines were not in the 'general' section. Now they are.

The BLF lights only seem to operate for phones that are RECEIVING calls and not MAKING them. It all depends on the version of Asterisk you are using. In Asterisk 1.4, there's an option called limitonpeers that will make sure that both incoming and outgoing calls are accounted for. The subscription only checks the peer part of a SIP type=friend. With limitonpeers set, Asterisk only uses the peer call counter for both incoming and outgoing calls. In Asterisk 1.6.0 beta, there's an additional setting for setting a busy level, allowing for a few more calls while still busy - in order to allow call transfers while on the phone. In Asterisk SVN trunk the user object is removed and the problem doesn't exist any more. /O smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] BLF functionality
There is no BLF state for 'off hook' (at least in Asterisk) - so what you have here is what you are going to get. regards, PaulH Dan Peters wrote: We have had Asterisk up and running for a while now and it works very well.

The BLF lights only seem to operate for phones that are RECEIVING calls and not MAKING them. Asterisk can only detect when a call has been placed. Once the call has been made and the other end is ringing, is the calling extension showing up? If not, I've seen this problem before with Asterisk 1.4. You need to ensure that the following configuration items are set in sip.conf:- * call-limit must be set for every extension. Usually set this to a large arbitrary number such as 100. (or 1 if you don't want another call to be received when the extension is on the phone) * notifyringing should be set to yes. * If you're using RealTime, ensure you have both rtcachefriends and rtupdate set to yes. * limitonpeers must be set to yes if you're using type=peer. (this is the most likely culprit since it's missing from the default config files) ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
