[Asterisk-Users] [Release] Skinny Support in cvs

[Dan Austin]

I've been poking at the Skinny channel driver since yesterday and
noticed a few things.

There doesn't seem to be inbound audio to the 79[46]0 phones.  The
status display shows a 0ms packet size.  This was for calls to and from
Zap, SIP and another skinny phone.  One clue was that a skinny to skinny
call reported the on hook event before the answered event, and the
answered event was generated by app_dial.  The skinny_answer does not
seem to get triggered.

I tried to set callerid in skinny.conf, but upon answering a call from
another skinny phone, Asterisk seg-faults. (Maybe bug 264?)  I found a
sure-fire way to cause a segfault, and that
is to dial the phone I am calling from.  I know, not a real world
example, but I found it
by mistake and is 100% reproducable.

I also noticed that the skinny.conf was not re-read by the reload
command.  I see bug 261 is resolved, does the status change to closed
once commited to CVS, or should a CVS update from today have the fix
already?

I tried sending this to the dev list, but it seems to have been dropped
by the moderator.
Let me know if this information is not usefull.  

Thanks, Dan

If you have been paying attention, you already know this, but this 
weekend I have spent time ironing out the various details with my 
chan_skinny code that has been out there, if you knew where to look.   I

believe I now have all basic features operational and am going to be 
working on getting the class 5 (hold, transfers, call waiting and 
caller*id, etc) operational in the comming week(s). 

I have personally tested this code on 7910 and 12SP+'s and will soon 
dive into a 7960.  There currently may be issues with 7920s and ATAs, 
but with some proper debug information and/or the acutal device in my 
grubby mitts I am sure I can get around any nuances.

If you have an issue with this code please use http://bugs.digium.com.  
Patches are absolutely apprecaited, however you should check with me 
before spending time as it may be a feature I have already played with 
locally and haven't gotten around to intergrating it into the mainline 
CVS code.

I would like to thank miro_ for his patience and fnancial support, along

with [Sim], klasstek, bkw_,  PavelL,  theo and ManxPower for willingly 
diving into nearly untested code and debuging.

Lastly, we cannot forget Mark Spencer for this absolutely amazing piece 
of software!


A quick sample config:


skinny.conf:

; Typical config for a 7910
[jeremy]                                 ; Device name
device=SEP0007EB363201                   ; Offical identifier  (SEP+<mac

adress>)
context=default
line => 500


extensions.conf:

exten => 1234,1,Dial,SKINNY/500 at jeremy|25|r
