The command works successfully but does not return any DIALSTATUS such as BUSY,ANSWER,NOANSWER as in case of command DIAL when used from the dial plan. Can some one guide me how to get the vaue of $DIALSTUATUS on originate or is there some other way to trap the status both on SIP and ZAP.

Indeed this response to a originate manager command is not what you
may have expected. You can listen to the events provided by the
manager interface and wait for something like this:

Event: Newstate
Channel: SIP/201-....
State: Up

----------------------------------


If you are using Async and the action ID for some reason the Event:
Newstate doesn't respond with the ActionID, but only a automatically
generated "Uniqueid".

Any ideas on how to determine which ActionID is being returned?

Thanks,
