Hi all,
I thought that perhaps this problem will go away if I just upgrade to
the latest Asterisk, but it did not.
Zaptel 1.4.7.1
libpri 1.4.3
Asterisk 1.4.16.2
Zaptel.conf marks all FXO lines as "FXSKS".
There are several problems, but I haven't had a chance to test them all
since I upgraded, so I'll start with the one most burning.
The problem is that when an incoming call hangs up, the FXO line does
not get "disconnected". If the called arrived at a human, this is not a
big deal. When the human (usually on a FXS line) hangs up, Asterisk also
hangs up the FXO side. If the call gets routed to voice mail and the
person leaves a message, this is also typically not so bad. The voice
mail auto-terminates after five seconds of silence.
The real problem is if the person has hung up during the office wide
greeting. In such a case, by the time the timeout kicks in and the
phones in the office actually ring, anyone picking up gets to hear a
"busy" signal. Worse, if no one is at the office, and the call gets
redirected to voice mail, the voice mail is going to record the entire
"busy" signal, until it turns into that reminder that the phone is off
the hook (faster and louder), and only once the Bezeq system gives up
and starts producing silence does the voicemail hang up and free the
line. The result is a series of approx. 4:30 seconds messages in my
voice mail.
If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem, it would be much
appreciated.
The other two problems (unconfirmed with latest versions) are:
1. Asterisk does not receive the caller ID from Bezeq.
2. I cannot define a call group for outgoing calls (Zap/g1).
The hardware are a couple Digium TDM cards bought from Atellis. If you
tell me the cards are defective, I will simply replace them under warranty.
Thanks
Shachar
