[asterisk-users] checking if a phone number is UP

[Rebecca Robinson]

I would probably set the "calling" server with a specific callerID,
match on that caller ID on the recipient server and then log to a
database or trigger a script to import my data.  By doing that I can
confirm the carrier side of things are up and that my server is actually
processing calls.  With some carriers providing a false ring, I don't
rely on hearing ringing as the line is actually doing anything.

 

 

Thank you,

Subject: [asterisk-users] checking if a phone number is UP

 

hi,

 

We have a phone number from third party provider which is used for
inbound calls. How could I monitor if this phone number is reachable?

 

the initial idea doesn't sound elegant: 

- on my SIP server I set couple seconds of ringing before Answer().

- the monitoring server calls to that phone number for few seconds,
checks if it "hears" the ringing and hangs up the call.

 

**

I use Nagios to check if my services are UP using check_sip, but it this
situation I'm more concerned about my DID provider than my server. It's
just like pinging a phone number.

 

 

 

Thank you,

Aurimas
