[asterisk-users] Hints stopped working suddently

[Mike]

Just to follow-up, because this may one day be found by someone with the
same issue, I fixed this:

 

My problem was that my sip peers did not have a call-limit setup.  For some
(unknown to me) reason, hints only work for peers with a call-limit defined
(if using realtime, that would mean something numerical, and not NULL).

Yes I did.  Nothing changes, really.  And it all looks good.

 

What I don't get is why the status "unavailable" appears when the phone is
disconnected, but the status "inuse" doesn't when on a call.  That
"unavailable" works fine is some sort of proof that everything is setup
properly

Have you tried doing “core show hints” and “sip show peers” before and after
asterisk restart to see what if anything changes?

Not at all, I do everything with vi

Do you use the Asterisk GUI?  Changes from it can mess with contexts in the
dialplan (extensions.conf) and the hints need to remain in the [internal]
context.

Hello,

 

I've had Asterisk and Polycom phones work perfectly with hints for the last
6 months.  Suddently, I realize they've stopped working in the last few
days.  I haven't changed the configuration in any way.

 

I have hints setup (CLI "show hints" does show the hints, and they seem
correct).  But when I do dial using one of the SIP registrations, I don't
see those hints being changed in the CLI (at verbose) like I used to.  My
hints keep on showing "idle", even though I am making a call.

 

Making this even weirder, if a phone falls off the grid I do get the
subscription become "unavailable".  It's just the "on call" hint that does
not seem to work.  So it seems not to be a firewall/routing issue.

 

I don't think it's the phones, since Asterisk doesn't seem to update it's
internal hint (show hints command) when I dial out or get a call.

 

Using Asterisk 1.4.22 and Polycom 3.1.1 firmware (latest). And I restarted
asterisk just in case, no help.

 

Regards,

 

 

 

Mike
