[asterisk-gui] Using mISDN-Trunk for new user (ISDN phone) currently not possible

[Pari Nannapaneni]

 chan_misdn does not parse users.conf,
 So you have to setup ISDN phones outside the gui for the time being.

 we might address this issue at some point in future if enough people ask for it.
 You can however use the gui to manage BRI trunks.

Subject: [asterisk-gui] Using mISDN-Trunk for new user (ISDN phone) currently not possible

GUI-version : SVN-branch-2.0-r3691
Browser: FF3, IE6

Asterisk GUI does include the menu required for setting up the mISDN Trunks
("mISDN Config"), fine! Using a mISDN Trunk for "Outgoing Calling Rules" is
now fine with mISDN! 

Whilst adding a new user extension I may select SIP, IAX and Analog
"Technology". But "mISDN" is not an option that may be selected. Is the only
way to add a ISDN phone (user) attached to a NT-type trunk by means of mISDN
to make the required changes manually within the coresponding conf files?

Changes required (from a users perspective): one additional radio button for
mISDN plus a selectionfield that allows selection between those mISDN-trunks
previously defined within the mISDN-trunk setup. Of course only the NT-type
ones may "ring" ISDN phones, whilst the TE-type ones are required for
dialing to the outside world. So if it is to be made dummy-proof, that might
be an additional check to include in the code. Within the table, the column
named "Port" could perhaps be used for that. My expectation (I don´t know)
is that it is normally used for the analog ports.

My mISDN setup displays (which is absolutely correct):
----------
Card/Port	Mode	
1/1		NT-Mode, PTMP	
1/2		TE-Mode, PTMP	
----------

Thus a selection of port "1/1" would point to the correct port to be used
(because it is setup for NT-mode which is required for ringing an ISDN
phone). Port "1/2" should not be selectable for ringing a users phone, as it
uses the TE-mode.

Perhaps the existing possibility to select an "Analog Station:" could do the
job if the fieldname is changed to "Analog/mISDN Station" and if the
selection list following (which normally displays "none") would include the
possible mISDN ports (only the NT-mode ones!). Bare in mind that up to 8
different msns (MultipleSubscriberNumberS) may be assigned to one ISDN
NT-trunk. That may be 8 phones, each of them with a different msn
(phonenumber) or just 1 phone with 8 different msns (phone numbers) assigned
to it, and of course anything between those two.


Or might there be something in terms of configuration I didn´t understand
yet? I´m yet by far not an expert in Asterisk.


Best regards,

Klaus
