[Asterisk-Users] Help on chan_misdn and MSN's

[Cosmin Prund]

I've got my MSN's going, I'll just share how I did it below:

My initial assumption was wrong. I'm supposed to have one section per ISDN
channel listing all the MSN's chan_misdn is responsible for. When one of
those MSN's is detected chan_misdn is supposed to jump into the dialplan in
the specified context at the extension specified in the MSN.

What I did was fairly simple. First of all I had to set "immediate=yes".
Unless I had that option chan_misdn would not pick up incoming ISDN calls.

With that option set to "yes" chan_misdn did exactly what the documentation
sad: It jumped in the specified context at the "s" extension. So my dialplan
would receive no info on the called MSN.

Next I entered the directory where I had the sources for chan_misdn and
griped for "Starting Ast ctx". It only appears in one file. Three lines
lower in the source file is a line that changes the extension to "s". I
simply commented out that line, rebuilt chan_misdn and voila: I've got my
MSN's in the dialplan!

Finally I'm not sure I found a small compatibility problem between
chan_misdn and the Romanian implementation of ISDN or I simply solved a
configuration problem with a huge hammer but I'm happy it works!
