[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Dial Out Issues - POTS Line

[Pat Delaney]

I'm rather new to Asterisk, but experianced a similar problem. It turned
out that I had a typo in my extension.conf file. Run the Asterisk cli
<asterisk -r> and watch the diagnostic messages. Perhaps you will see
what the problem is. If you have the vvvv option you should see the
number that is passed to the ZAP.

Just a thought

I am having dial out issues and was hoping someone could shed some
light.

The problem is Intermittent:

extensions.conf

[globals]
; Trunk Info for outbound calls via PSTN - See the zapata.conf file in
/etc/asterisk TRUNK=ZAP/G1 ;Trunk Interface ;MSD digits to strip
(usually 1 or 0), 1 = remove a leading 9 TRUNKMSD=1

; --------------------------------------------------
; [trunklocal] - Defines extension for local calls through trunk ;
--------------------------------------------------
[trunklocal]
exten => _9NXXXXXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})
exten => _9NXXXXXX,2,Congestion

exten => _9512NXXXXXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})
exten => _9512NXXXXXX,2,Congestion
; --------------------------------------------------
; END [trunklocal]
; --------------------------------------------------


Problem Description:

I have (Qty 2) 4Port FXO Digium Cards with 8 POTS lines.

When dialing local numbers (as in 95551212) I intermittently get a
message from the operator "We're sorry your call did not go through,
please hangup and try your call again".  Other times the calls go
through just fine.  It's almost as if Asterisk is not passing along all
numbers dialed (possibly dropping the first or last digit, 555-121 or
55-1212) causing the dialed number to not go through.  

Any ideas would be appreciated.  Could this be a problem with my Telco?


Regards,

Juan Staalenburg
