Hi,<br>
I am not making the *.call files in the outgoing directory, they are
being created elsewhere then moved to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing with
the "mv" command. I put channel 1 into a group 1, and created a *.call
file that looks like this:<br>
Channel: Zap/g1/2609944<br>
Callerid: Nagios<br>
MaxRetries: 1<br>
RetryTime: 60<br>
WaitTime: 30<br>
Context: alert<br>
Extension: 4<br>
Priority: 1<br>
This should connect with extension 4 of the "alert" context in
extensions.conf which looks like this:<br>
[alert]<br>
<br>
exten => 4,1,Wait(1)<br>
exten => 4,2,Answer<br>
exten => 4,3,Wait(2)<br>
exten => 4,4,Playback(tt-somethingwrong)<br>
exten => 4,5,Playback(vm-goodbye)<br>
exten => 4,6,Hangup<br>
I've incorporated a the hints people have given me into trying to solve
this but it still won't dialout on the analog phoneline plugged into
the back of the X100P card. If you guys have any more ideas of how to
solve this that would be very much appreciated. Thanks.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I'm trying to get asterisk to auto-dail out. I created a *.call file
with the the top of it being "Channel: Zap/1/2609944", which should have
connected to Zap channel 1 and dial out to 2609944, but It did not do
so, asterisk would say a call was completed to Zap/1/2609944 but I never
heard that phone ring. So I tried just putting "Channel: Zap/1" at the
top of the call file so it would connect to Zap channel 1, then in the
*.call file connect it to an "outgoing" context in extensions.conf which
looked like:

First, don't call out on specific channels. Put the channels in a group
and then use the group. Even if right now you only have one channel, it
will help you out later.
The first type of call file would be like this below
##############
Channel: Zap/g1/2609944
MaxRetries: 2
RetryTime: 60
WaitTime: 30
# now to a context/extension/priority that does what you want.
Context: AutoAnswer
Extension: 4
Priority: 1

This would never work since the dial would connect out and not return
till the call hungup.
