[Asterisk-Users] Two FXO: How to dial a number when a RING comes in?

[Noah Miller]

Hi Vincent -

Several things:

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

ONE:
You should answer an incoming zap line before doing anything with it,
so do this:

exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Dial(Zap/2/014XXXXXX)

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

TWO:
Are there any console messages?  Can you dial into the system and get
internal extensions?  Maybe you could try a testing dialplan like
this:

exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Waitexten(10)

exten => 100,Dial(Zap/2/014XXXXXX)

Then call in and after you're connected, dial 100 to see if it will
dial out on ZAP/2

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

THREE:
According to your config, all incoming calls on either zap line will
try to dial out on ZAP/2.  This will cause problems when the incoming
call is coming in on ZAP/2.  One way to fix this would be to have the
lines go to different contexts, and the have an incoming call zap
channel 1 goto a different context where it can dial out on zap
channel 2.  A (shortened) config might look like this:

zapata.conf:

context=cherbourg1
channel => 1

context=cherbourg2
channel => 2

[cherbourg1]
exten => s,1,Goto(cherbourg2,dialout,1)

[cherbourg2]
exten => dialout,1,Dial(Zap/2/014XXXXXX)

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

FOUR:
Also, just to clarify, in the config you have posted the following
lines don't do anything:

> ;Changed from TRUNK=Zap/g2               ; Trunk interface
> TRUNK=Zap/1               ; Trunk interface

You're setting the variable TRUNK, but you're not using it anywhere.
You would have to invoke it some way - maybe like this:  exten =>
100,1,Dial(${TRUNK})
