[asterisk-users] Can't detect remote answer

[Eric Wieling]

I think the default DTMF tone duration is 100ms, if you are dialing 10 digits, that ends up being 1 second delay just to dial the DTMF, not including inter-digit delays.   Try setting toneduration=50 in chan_dahdi.conf and see what happens.   If you make it too low your telco will miss some digits, you'll need to experiment.   You may need to increase it.   If the telco switch is busy, like in the middle of the day your minimum workable tone duration may be higher than in the middle of the night.

I finally got an answer on IRC, turns out the problem was callprogress=yes (a.k.a. screwupmycalls=yes).  Changing it to no and dropping the r seemed to work.  I'd like the feature to work properly, but it's more important that I'm able to actually make calls :)

I *am* now stuck with a long pause before I hear the outgoing ringing though. Not sure if there's anything I can do to tackle that one.

	Hey,
	
	Just quickly glanced over your data... one problem you have is that you're passing the 'r' flag in your Dial() statement in extensions.conf.  That would definitely cause you to have never ending ringback from the analog line (since answer supervision is often not present).  You might try removing that and retry your outbound call test.
	
	Hope that helps a bit.

		I forgot to add, cat /proc/dahdi/* yields:
		
		Span 1: WCTDM/4 "Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F Board 5" (MASTER)
		
		   1 WCTDM/4/0 FXSKS (In use) (EC: MG2 - INACTIVE)
		   2 WCTDM/4/1 FXOKS (EC: MG2 - INACTIVE)
		   3 WCTDM/4/2 Reserved
		   4 WCTDM/4/3 Reserved
		
		
		I'm not sure if that (in use) is correct when I'm not actively in a call.

		    I'm attempting to place an outgoing call over POTS/DAHDI, it dials

		    So far I've attempted:
		
		
		      * Searching on google
		      * Enabling full and verbose logging (including the debug option of

		        the DAHDI module) - showing NO event at the time I answer on the
		        remote phone a.k.a "my mobile"
		
		      * Using another phone on the same line - it works
		      * Receiving a call on that line - no problem
		      * Logging DTMF - it shows digits dialled on my mobile, after I've

		        answered, even whilst it seems to still be ringing locally
		
		      * Looking on the wiki
		      * Asking on IRC


		    So far, I've found nothing that helps.
		
		    A sample log output is here: http://pastebin.com/cprZSy9i
		    And my chan_dahdi.conf: http://pastebin.com/L7mBJ66Y
		    And dahdi system.conf: http://pastebin.com/6UQPVC9x
		    also in modprobe.d/dahdi.conf: http://pastebin.com/5ZqtcZdj
		
		    *any* advice/suggestions at this point would be very much appreciated!
