[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Indications

[Christopher Lee]

For the benefit of anyone with the same questions or searching the archives,
I've solved my problem to the below.

 

The Cisco 7940 (and other SIP devices) generate their own indication tones
of ring etc., I found by placing an Answer before a dial, then Asterisk will
answer the call and be able to provide indications.conf tones down the line.

 

Eg:

 

exten => 931,1,Answer

exten => 931,2,Dial(SIP/931,20)

exten => 931,3,Voicemail(u931)

exten => 931,102,Voicemail(b931)

exten => 931,103,Hangup

 

Also, I found the ringing tone for Australia included in indications.conf
doesn't sound quite like I expected. I've done a little toying with it, and
found the following sounds a little bit closer to what you'd expect, but
it's still not quite right:

 

for [au] context in indications.conf

==============================

ring = 400+420/400,0/200,400+420/400,0/2000

 

The original indications has 400+17/400, but I find that sounds more like
two beeps (which could possibly be confused with the Australian
congestion/busy tones).

Hi,

 

Just wondering if someone could better explain how the indications.conf file
actually affects Asterisk?

 

I am using a Cisco 7940 from my Asterisk system, and have set in
indications.conf "country=au" thinking that this would make the
dialtones/call progress sound like the familiar Australian tones?

 

However when I call another extension on my system, it still sounds like the
American ring tone. Does the indications perhaps only effect Analog FXS
cards and not SIP phones?

 

Also, when loading the Asterisk configs as shown below, it displays a
message about "Removed default indication country 'au' and at the end
proceeds to set default indication country to 'au'. the Removed part has me
thinking it's forgotten all about the particular indications for au?
