[Asterisk-Users] t1 won't dial outbound

Fri Apr 16 07:22:15 MST 2004

Joe,

Thanks for your response...if nothing else this is definitely going to
help simplify my layout.  I'm redoing my zapata file now and going to
try it out.  Thanks again.

Mark

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!

 Mark

 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...

  zaptel.conf

  span=1,1,0,d4,ami
  e&m=1-24
  fxsks=25
  loadzone=us
  defaultzone=us

  zapata.conf

  context=conference
  signalling=em
  switchtype=5ess
  group=3
  callgroup=3
  pickupgroup=3
  channel => 6
