[asterisk-users] POTS supervision with DAHDI in 1.4 releases

Greetings,

               This may be a dumb question, but here goes.  When I was on
1.4.21.2 using Zaptel, I had (at least as far as I could tell) access to
line supervision on my POTS lines using a TDM400P/TDM410P.   Since upgrading
to the DAHDI branches of 1.4 (SVN and 1.4.26.1), I've only been able to
duplicate the success of the 1.4.21 functionality once.   To test what I'm
talking about, copy this call.file to your  /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing,
changing 5551212 to the number you want to call - 

Channel: DAHDI/1/ww5551212

CallerID: SIP/104

MaxRetries: 1

WaitTime: 60

retryTime: 5

Application: background

Data: demo-instruct

 

In my shop, I lose about 10-15 seconds of the message waiting on a TELCO
connection (if there is no answer, Asterisk just plays the message and hangs
up).    I'd be happy to do this with AMI instead of a call file, but if
Asterisk doesn't know if the line has actually been answered, it makes no
difference.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, helpful or otherwise.

 

Danny Nicholas
