[Asterisk-Users] "reason 23 (Temporary failure)" when using Dial(OH323)

[Zachary McGibbon]

I've complied the OH323 .so successfully and can easily receive calls
from my H323 gatekeeper (using 711u), however it seems that all
outgoing calls are refused and I'm getting "reason 23 (Temporary
failure)" as an error code which I can't find documented everywhere.

My H323 gatekeeper needs a 001NXXNXXXXXX to dial out to the PSTN even
if I'm in north america (Montreal)

Here is my H323 dial context:

[h323-out]
; grab any NXXNXXXXXX and add a 001 for h323 gatekeeper
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,SetVar(OH323_OUTCODEC=ulaw)
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(OH323/001${EXTEN},60,r)

; grab any 1NXXXNXXXXXX and add a 00 for h323 gatekeeper
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,SetVar(OH323_OUTCODEC=ulaw)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(OH323/00${EXTEN},60,r)

; international calls via h323 gatekeeper
exten => _011.,1,SetVar(OH323_OUTCODEC=ulaw)
exten => _011.,2,Dial(OH323/00${EXTEN})

Here is the oh323.conf:

Here is the error:

=========================================================================

 == No one is available to answer at this time (1, 0/0/0)
   -- Hungup 'IAX2/100 at 100/6'

Anyone have any clue as to what could be the error?  I was looking
along the lines that maybe the OH323 .so wasn't sending the correct
H323 ID and or E.164 id to the gatekeeper when it places a call or
that it wasn't contacting the gatekeeper at all.
