[Asterisk-Users] t1 won't dial outbound

[Joe Dennick]

I haven't tried breaking up the channels into different groups (mainly because
I haven't had a need to), but the examples I've seen looked more like:

   [channels]
   signalling=em_w
   switchtype=5ess
   group=1
   context=uti-mainst
   channel => 1-3
   group=2
   context=sales
   channel => 4-6
   group=3
   etc...........

In this example, the signalling and switchtype don't change (because they are
all on the same trunk), but you can change the context in each group
definition.  Anything specified ABOVE the channel statement will be applied to
those channels.  So, you only need to specify the changes inbetween your
channel => statements.  

As such, all of the other statements before the channel => 6 statement will
also be applied to that channel.  If you specified a parameter (like
callretrun=yes or callprogress=yes) that the LEC (Carrier) didn't like, it
would not accept the call.  If group 5 works correctly for outbound calls, I
would model group 3's defninitions after group 5.

 Thanks for the reply.
 
 I didn't include my entire zapata.conf...just the portion that applied
 to this call (i.e. group #3)
 
 Please correct me if I have misunderstood how this all works together.
 When I see:
 
 -- Executing Dial("SIP/mark-2d08", "Zap/g3/2550559") in new stack
      -- Called g3/2550559
      -- Hungup 'Zap/6-1'
 
 I'm interpreting that this is dialing out on Zap group 3 (which happens
 to begin on channel 6).  Please correct me if I'm wrong here...
 
 I'm attaching my entire zapata.conf just to defer any confusion...and to
 see if you can see anything.
 
 Also, I'm going to take your suggestion and create another zapata.conf
 which will be simplified just to see if there is a conflict somewhere in
 there.
 
 Thanks for your help!

 It looks like your channel and group statements in the zapata.conf are
 the problem.  Notice that when it tries to dial out it does so on
 Zap/6-1.  You have the T-1 defined as 'Span 1,' but you are trying to
 send the calls to span 6.  It ain't gonna work!  I don't see anywhere
 where you've assigned the rest of the channels on that T-1, either.  I
 would recommend either grouping them all together (that's the easiest),
 or at least making sure you've got all of the channels assigned to
 groups.  My zapata.conf is much simpler:
      signalling=pri_net
      group=1
      channel => 1-23
 
 When it dials, then you will see the calls going out on Zap/1-1 or
 Zap/1-2, etc.
 
 Good luck; and have fun!

  I've posted this problem a couple of times before with little or no
 response.  Basically I have a T100P in my * box.  Incoming calls are
 working great.  However outgoing calls are not working at all.  I've
 copied a previous post into this message which should have all the
 necessary info.  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 Thanks.

  OK...I've got an * box with a T100P in it.  For the most part incoming
 calls are going through just fine.  Outgoing calls, however, I'm having
 some more trouble with.  Whenever I make an outgoing call, the call
 begins, however after the dialing process all I hear is dead air.
 Here's the output from my * console:
   
  -- Executing Dial("SIP/mark-2d08", "Zap/g3/2550559") in new stack
      -- Called g3/2550559
      -- Hungup 'Zap/6-1'
    == Spawn extension (uti-mainst, 2550559, 1) exited non-zero on
 'SIP/mark-2d08'
   
  I've checked with the switch guy...and whatever channel I'm trying to
 dial out on is coming up as "blocked" on his switch.  We've compared as
 many settings as we can think of and they all seem to be set the same.
 I'll post the entries from my zaptel.conf and my zapata.conf in
 here...if you have any ideas please send them my way...

  span=1,1,0,d4,ami
