[Asterisk-Users] Detecting a PRI failure from dialplan

2006-01-20 Thread Alessio Focardi 
Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to detect the status of a span
prior of sendig a call across it from the dialplan.

I was asked to set up an * server with 2 spans connected to the telco and use 
the second as
failover for the first.

I checked that dialing a failed span (for instance: cable disconnected or
no line) results in congestion for ${DIALSTATUS}, but message is too
generic for my use.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated, tnx!

Tnx, this is what I was fearing from the start ... :)

What about hangup codes ? I still have to understand if they can be parsed 
after dial or just by h extension ...

Have you checked what happens if you put both PRI lines in a single ZAP
group
and refer to it as a Dial(ZAP/g1/${EXTEN}) ?
I my opinion asterisk should automatically know that the first 30 B channels
are dead
and try the remaining live ones. I haven't tested it with PRI, but I'm
pretty sure it works
that way for BRI (HFC card - zaphfc module).
