[asterisk-users] How to use TRUNK only if IAX fails?

[Ashwin Surendran]

Hi Matt,

I was a bit concerned on the delay if there might  be any when my iax link is down?
It would be two dial steps right when my iax link is down.
But I’m more than happy to try.

Many Thanks,
Ashwin.

The command he gave you was in Asterisk. Why do you not want to call it to try it?

Then you can fail over to the other trunk if the IAX link is down.

Kind regards,


Matt

Many Thanks Carlos, I was hoping to check whether the remote server is
available before I issue the dial in my dial plan.

Is there a better way to do it in asterisk without using unix commands?


Many Thanks,
Ashwin

Hi,
I have multiple Asterisk servers in various parts of the world all
connected using dedicated VPN¹s.

Each of these servers have iax and dahdi TRUNK configured on them.

Occasionally the VPN¹s fail.

What I want to be able to do is on my dial plan, use IAX if the asterisk
server can reach the remote server using the internet OR, use TRUNK only
if it can¹t use IAX.

Any ideas on how this can be implemented on the dial plan?


   Check the DIALSTATUS variable to see if the IAX trunk failed and
then dial via DAHDI.
