[Asterisk-Users] PRI value

The values are mutually exclusive so you can only set it once. What you want
to do is from the Asterisk console type in PRI DEBUG SPAN 1 (if you only
have 1 PRI) and place a call. PRI DEBUG will throw up everything on the
screen concerning call setup and teardown at the PRI network layer.  A good
debug looks like this:

The sections in the "important part" are going to give you clues as to
what's going on under the hood. If you can't get to this part above with a
PRI debug, for example, you have a misonconfiguration in your * setup. Post
your debug and let's look at it.

Perfect, thanks very much hth. I just set it to unknown, but it doesn't
work.

 

Have I to use also prilocaldialplan ?

 

Thanks again

Oggetto: RE: [Asterisk-Users] PRI value

 

PRI dialplan, in a nutshell, sets dialled digits from your Asterisk box to a
pattern that your telco expects. For example, if your telco expects numbers
in XXX-XXXX format ALWAYS, then you would set it to Local so the MSD of
whatever your user dials is stripped off by Asterisk, leaving only a pattern
that the PRI expects. 99% of the time, you want to set this to "unknown" and
this will allow your Asterisk box to send the digits unaltered to the PRI
which is what you want.

 

I see you are in Europe so I can't comment on the numbering pattern your
telco expects there, but I suspect that "unknown" will work fine for you
here. However, it should be explicitly set and not ignored, if only to
"unknown"

Hi group,

anyone can explain me the exact difference between pri value in zapata.conf
?

 

; PRI Dialplan:  Only RARELY used for PRI.
;
; unknown:        Unknown
; private:        Private ISDN
; local:          Local ISDN
; national:       National ISDN
; international:  International ISDN

 

If I use it, I also must use prilocaldialplan = local ?

 

Thanks

 

Giordano
