[Asterisk-bsd] RE: Zaptel

Hi Simpson,

I've tried it both ways, with callerid = asreceived and without, both to no
avail.

I started asterisk as you suggested below and called into the pbx, but did
not see any caller id information in the cli.  Should I be?

Also regarding my last message on how I fixed it the lines, I remembered one
additional item that was causing problems, I had the following set in my
/etc/rc.conf file:

kern_securelevel_enable="YES"

kern_securelevel="1"

And had to disable this to allow the device to load properly, then I
re-enabled it.

Thanks again,

John

John,

Depending on how the extensions.conf is configured, your callerID will or
will not be displayed. Without doing any troubleshooting, I can't say this
with certainty.

see if adding this string in your zapata.conf will help:

callerid = asreceived

To troubleshoot - login to the asterisk cli with higher verbosity
"asterisk -rvvvvvvvvvvvvc"

Make and inbound call and see if the Calling Party number is displayed. You
can trace it from there and see which context it was sent to and how it is
being manipulated before it reaches your extension.

Of course we're also talking about caller id delivery on FXO, I'll have to
look into this a little more as my experience is primarily with FXS on
PRI/CAS trunks.

Eitherways, do let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
Simpson

Thanks Simpson,

I do have the options you've specificed in my Zapata.conf file.  You mention
the extenions.conf file for outbound, does that also affect inbound?
Outbound callerid is fine, it's the inbound caller id that's not working.  I
tested to see if caller id information was being sent (and not being
blocked) by our phone provider by calling from one phone to another, then
calling from that same phone into the asterisk pbx, but when it gets into
the pbx, it displays "unknown".

Regarding fixing my original problem, I think most of the issue had to do
with not having zaptel_enable="YES" in my rc.conf file.  Installing asterisk
from the FreeBSD ports installed everything I needed included the .ko
modules. Once I enabled zaptel in rc.conf, then I took a little more time
going through the zapatel.conf, and zaptel.conf files to figure out how to
configure.  This biggest hang up was the rc.conf file because I was getting
errors where documentation was saying I shouldn't.

Thanks again,

John

Hi,

Please check your zapata.conf file and make sure it has these fields below
[channels]:
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
usecallingpres=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes

Try to see if that works. If not, you might have to check how you setup your
outbound dialing in extensions.conf.

Let me know.

Simpson

P.S. If you can, please update the BSD list to let the community know how
you were able to resolve your problem. It might be beneficial to future
users. Thanks again!

Thank you for your help.  I was able to get everything working both inbound
and outbound, and I've got one last question (for now), how do I enable
inbound caller ID?  All inbound calls show up as unknown, yet all phone that
I tested allow caller ID to be sent.

Thanks again,

John

John,

Forgot one more thing, once you ztcfg -vvvvvvvv, you need to login to the
Asterisk CLI (asterisk -rvvvvvvvc) and do a "restart gracefully" to reload
the zap channels.

It should be working now.

In the CLI - a "zap show channels" should show you the status of the
channels.

Let me know how it goes.

Simpson
