[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Manager API - multi "Originate" cal ls

[mattf]

Well, I'm not sure about the current release as I have not tested this, but
on older releases for RBS T1s you would get a manager event showing a RING
state. As for PRI, SIP and IAX2 I'm not sure, this is an inconsistent
feature that differes depending on what kind of trunk you are using and what
network the person you are calling is on. The only sure thing you can tell
is a call pickup in all cases, ringing is much harder to detect.

cal ls


Hi Matt, in your experience is there a 100% reliable
way to know that the callee phone is ringing? In my
situation I don't need to know if they pick up or not,
I need to know (as reliably as possible) if the calee
phone number is ringing.

Thanks, Tom
