[Asterisk-Users] Call file misbehaviour

[Chris Blake]

Greetings *`s,

I am manually creating call files and dropping them into
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing to be picked up by *.

Presently, when I use local/internal parameters using SIP it works..ie I
make an internal call from device to device.

However, when I try dial an outside number which I have set up in a
custom conf file, it bombs out with the following message :

=============================
-- Attempting call on ZAP/4/6007 for 6007 at clients:1 (Retry 1)
    -- Executing Macro("Zap/4-1", "dialout-default|0827751492") in new

    -- Executing GotoIf("Zap/4-1", "1?4") in new stack
    -- Goto (macro-dialout-default,s,4)
    -- Executing GotoIf("Zap/4-1", "1?6") in new stack
    -- Goto (macro-dialout-default,s,6)
    -- Executing Dial("Zap/4-1", "ZAP/g0/0827751492") in new stack

    -- Executing Wait("Zap/4-1", "5") in new stack
    -- Executing Hangup("Zap/4-1", "") in new stack
=======================

Here is the call file that is getting dropped in
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing :

Channel: ZAP/4/6007
MaxRetries: 0
RetryTime: 60
WaitTime: 15
Context: clients
Extension: 6007
Priority: 1

And here is how my custom file looks :
[clients]
exten => _6001,1,Macro(dialout-default,0111111111)  
exten => _6001,2,Congestion
exten => _6002,1,Macro(dialout-default,0112222222)  
exten => _6002,2,Congestion
exten => _6003,1,Macro(dialout-default,0113333333)  
exten => _6003,2,Congestion
exten => _6004,1,Macro(dialout-default,0114444444)  
exten => _6004,2,Congestion
exten => _6005,1,Macro(dialout-default,0115555555)  
exten => _6005,2,Congestion
exten => _6006,1,SetVar(CALLFILENAME=${EXTEN}-${TIMESTAMP})
exten => _6006,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLFILENAME},m) 
exten => _6006,3,Macro(dialout-default,0893459635)  
exten => _6006,4,Congestion
exten => _6007,1,Macro(dialout-default,0827751492)   
exten => _6007,2,Congestion

I have tried and changed many things in these files but it keeps going
straight to telling me that all lines are busy.

Any ideas/pointers/links muchly appreciated.

The late rebellion in Massachusetts has given more alarm than I think it
should have done. Calculate that one rebellion in 13 states in the
course of 11 years, is but one for each state in a century and a half.
No country should be so long without one. -- Thomas Jefferson in letter
to James Madison, 20 December 1787
