[asterisk-users] Help! How to get ANSWEREDTIME after DIAL a ZAP channel?

[Charles Wang]

Dear Phil,

Thank you for your reply.

I have changed by extensions.conf as below.
And I also put my debug information for your reference.

It is a strange behavior. I got exited non-zero in it when I use ZAP channel.
If I use my SIP trunking gateway(outside), I got the return value is zero.

********** extensions.conf **************************************************
exten=> _00[1-9].,1,Dial(zap/g1/${EXTEN})
exten=> _00[1-9].,h,NoOP(ANSWEREDTIME=${ANSWEREDTIME})
exten=> _00[1-9].,102,Hangup
