[asterisk-users] Disappearing Call Files / Two threads dealing with my call files

Thu Nov 29 09:00:36 CST 2012

Priority is a required parameter.  In your call file you are telling Asterisk to 

> Channel: DAHDI/g0/0312xxxxxxx
> MaxRetries: 0
> RetryTime: 60
> Context: asteriskgw_fax
> Extension: s
Go to context asteriskgw_fax, extension s.  Priority tells Asterisk where to start in asteriskgw_fax.  Since C would assume 0 and contexts start with 1, priority: 1 tells it to go to line 1.  Another use for this would be to tell Asterisk to start further down to skip a wait or something.

Sample:

[asteriskgw_fax]

Exten => s,1,answer()

Exten => s,n,wait(5)

Exten => s,n,playback(sending-fax)

You could use priority 1 for DAHDI to compensate for PSTN delays and priority 3 for SIP calls.

Should I use priority in call files? How the lack of priority causes this problem?

There's no priority in your call file.
