[asterisk-users] automon=>*, Dial(, , Ww), rfc2833, canreinvite=no, but...

[Bill Michaelson]

After much checking and puzzling, I cannot get my Polycom 601 to toggle 
call recording with my Asterisk 1.4.21.1.

Via FreePBX, I can set a user to always record, and the recording will 
show up in /var/spool/asterisk/monitor.

But if I try to start recording by toggling in-call, no luck.

I can see this in the feature*.conf file set:

automon=*1

and I can see a 'Ww' in the logged/traced call to dial().

and I can see the RFC2833 RTP packets going through Asterisk, both with 
rtp debug and with wireshark.

So my questions are:

1) How do I verify that asterisk actually saw the feature code spec upon 
restart/reload? I can't find any clues.

2) Are there any other parameters that have a bearing on this?

3) Is there anything I haven't thought of?

Finally, it might be worth noting that the packet traces show three 
RFC2833 end events for each DTMF code pressed. This might be perfectly 
normal, and I even tried fudging the automon string to ***111 just to 
compensate as an experiment, but it had no effect.

If I've done everything necessary to configure enabling the toggle 
function, then where should I see the failure/refusal to comply in any 
logs. I'm getting nothing in logs/traces.

A side question: freepbx is generating include statements with a leading 
#, a la C includes - or a la Perl/Shell/et al comments! This is OK? I've 
floundering with the suspicion that I'm overlooking something really dumb...

I would be grateful for some explicit diagnostic suggestions.
