[asterisk-users] Virtual Phone for CDR Logging

[Philipp Roos [Inlogia GmbH]]

Hi,

I found a solution myself I want to share it.
The pjsua SIP client from http://www.pjsip.org does the trick.
You can run it parallel to the asterisk server, ring for a while and hang up then.

You just need to change one line in the source code to run it in background:
In pjsip-apps/src/pjsua/pjsua_app.c replace "console_app_main(&uri_arg);" with "while (1) {sleep(500);}"

Now "./configure" and "make dep && make clean && make" und run the sip client from pjsip-apps/bin
./pjsua-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --config-file=ringme.local.cfg

Here is my ringme.local.cfg:
--id sip:<you sip account>@<you ip>
--registrar sip:<you ip>
--realm *
--username <you sip account>
--password <your password>
--local-port=5061
--null-audio
--log-file=log.txt
--max-calls=32
--auto-answer=180
--duration=10

You need local-port to run beside asterisk.
auto-answer=180 sends a ringing responds.

Greetings
Philipp

I tried to replace the Dial(SIP/6000|30) command in the extensions table by Ringing(),Wait(5),Busy() but now no CDR entry is created. Same with Ringing(),Wait(5),Hangup(). Looks like I need a Dial() command for CDR.
