Hi there dear users and dear developers of Asterisk!
I've got a maybe strange idea, let's see if you laugh or think it's reasonable J
I'm using Asterisk with Digium TDM800P cards with 24 lines (as an answering
machine).
Each analog line can be reached through a phonenumber, since they are each
connected to my telephone provider. Yes expensive I know J
The challenge:
I'd like to somehow verify that my 1) TDM800P cards and 2) the analog lines,
and 3) my operator is alive and working, and I have an Idea which I wonder if
will/could work.
My first idea was to ask the zap-driver if it could detect if the line was ok,
but no function existed to do that, what I could find. Anyone knows about one?
My second idea, was to try calling simply, to know if things were ok. But, I
couldn't just call any number, I had to know the number was in use, and not
disturbing anyone.
So, I called myself, or I called another of my phonelines.
So,
I'd like to use the asterisk manager interface in java to originate a call from
one ZAP-channel, calling out to my telephone provider,
And then they will direct the call back to my, but into another ZAP-channel
(since I'm calling that channel's number).
So: I'm making ZAP/1 calling out to no 323121321 - telephone company, Ok:
323121321 belongs to this guy - redirecting me to my ZAP/2 channel, which
answers the call.
Then I have a connection, and ZAP/2 will answer and do some DTMF.
My first ZAP/1 is run through my java program, and I'd like to listen for
certain DTMF-tones, to know I have a working circuit.
The goal for all of this, is to verify things are working, so my provider is
not down, or one of my ZAP-lines are dead.
So far, I've tried calling and got some half-success, but not sure what is
going on doing all the right way.
For ex: why am I calling with Zap1, to Zap 3, and then Zap 7 is answering? 3
channels used for one outgoing and one incoming call? Something must be very
wrong J
Please educate me, dear experts.
Input?
Sincerely,
Johan Sandgren
