[Asterisk-Users] Manager Interface "Action: Originate" changed

[Tony Wasson]

I have recently noticed that the "Action: Originate" options in asterisk 
        1.0 CVS has changed sometime between 2/23 and 3/18.

I have a 2/23/04 CVS installation (cvs checkout -r v1-0_stable asterisk 
) that allows me to make calls like this using the Manager Interface on 
port 5038.

   action: login
   login: admin
   secret: mypass

   action: originate
   exten: 200
   context: stations
   channel: SIP/agent007

I have a 3/18/04 CVS installation that does NOT work the same way. 
Entering the same information in spits out....

   Response: Error
   Message: Originate with 'Exten' requires 'Context' and 'Priority'

So I've tried adding a priority of 1, like this:

   action: originate
   exten: 200
   context: stations
   channel: SIP/agent007
   priority: 1

I simply get:

   Response: Error
   Message: Originate failed

Obviously, something in the Manager code has changed. With the newer 
code I am unable to originate calls. Can anyone shed additional light on 
how to originate calls under the new 1.0 style Manager Interface?
