[Asterisk-Users] Possible for Asterisk to output CLID to invoke 3rdparty app?

[Michael Collins]

Seri,

 

I think you might just need to find the right variable and pass it to
your script.  Also, you'll probably need to read up on AGI - I'm
assuming that's how you would launch your Perl scripts.  Here's the list
of variables on the wiki:

 

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+variables

 

Most likely you're looking for the variable referred to as
${CALLERID(num)}

 

If you haven't already done so, you might check out the O'Reilly book:
Asterisk - The Future Of Telephony, or TFOT for short.  It has good
information for beginners, including some basics on getting up and
running with AGI.

 

Try this: http://www.speakup.nl/en/opensource/asterisktfot/

The AGI stuff is in chapter 9.  Definitely read the first few pages - it
will help you understand how Asterisk communicates with Perl (or pretty
much any other programming language/shell script) using STDIN, STDOUT,
and STDERR.

 

Also, don't forget this obvious one:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI

 

Happy programming!  Oh, and welcome the wild and crazy (but VERY cool)
world of Asterisk!

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Possible for Asterisk to output CLID to invoke
3rdparty app?

 

Hi all, please forgive me relative lack of knowledge with Asterisk, but
I've not played with PBX systems for a while and I'm just re-finding my
feet.

I've set up my first Asterisk server, I have it configured with a Digium
X100P Analogue pots board, I have my Called ID working and everything is
hunky dorey with the server itself.

 

But... (and there's always a but) I want to pass inbound CLID
information out from Asterisk to other applications for display. Is
there an easy way to do this? I have some simple command line perl
scripts that will take a number as an argument when called and then do
what I want with them (display the caller information on my Squeezebox)
but after trawling documentation and mailing lists I can't find any way
of doing this.

 

I'm probably missing something simple, but any pointers would be a great
help.

 

TIA

 

Seri
