[asterisk-users] Paging in Asterisk

[bu at westnet.com.au]

Hi All,

I've been trying to send a message to the list for the past 3 days, but 
I neither get bounces nor the message appearing in the list, so someone 
on IRC sugested I reply to an existing message.

My subject is related to this message, although slightly different.

Apologies if my actual messages appear in the list. Here's a paste of 
one of my past messages:
--------------------------------------
I'm playing with a PA-type setup, where people can dial a number, and 
Asterisk would place a call file to get another phone to dial in (auto 
answering) and play to it a sound.

It's woking, but I'm getting some errors, as I'll paste below.

So, my setup:
    Asterisk 1.4.13
    Debian GNU/Linux 4.0
    Linux Kernel 2.6.18-5-686

SIP client:
    snom360 5.3 soft-phone
    SIP/pa at from-sip

My call file:
    Channel: Local/pa at localtest/n
    Extension: 6600

extensions.conf:

    [from-sip]
    exten => 6600,1,Answer
    exten => 6600,n,Wait(1)
    exten => 6600,n,Playback(demo-thanks)
    exten => 6600,n,Hangup
   
    [localtest]
    exten => pa,1,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info:<sip:asterisk>\;answer-after=0)
    exten => pa,n,Dial(SIP/pa)


The Console (-rvvv):

  -- Attempting call on Local/pa at localtest/n for 6600 at default:1 (Retry 1)
  -- Executing [pa at localtest:1] 
SIPAddHeader("Local/pa at localtest-f5d9,2", 
"Call-Info:<sip:asterisk>;answer-after=0") in new stack
  -- Executing [pa at localtest:2] Dial("Local/pa at localtest-f5d9,2", 
"SIP/pa") in new stack
  -- Called pa
  -- SIP/pa-081ddd30 is ringing
  -- SIP/pa-081ddd30 answered Local/pa at localtest-f5d9,2
== Starting Local/pa at localtest-f5d9,1 at default,6600,1 failed so 
falling back to exten 's'
  -- Executing [s at default:1] Wait("Local/pa at localtest-f5d9,1", "1") in 
new stack

And it keeps going, really fast, indefinately, until hung up.

Any ideas? How about the 's' error above?

Thanks,
bu
