Asterisk

If you’re a frequent visitor to this blog, you had most probably already learned that over the past 5 years, my main Open Source passion is a project called Asterisk – The Open Source PBX. This section in the blog is dedicated to my thoughts about Asterisk, its current status, where is was, where it is and where it going to.

My aim is to share my thoughts, rants and desires about Asterisk, and especially, where I would like to see it going in the next 12, 18 and 24 months period of time.

    Hello Sir,

    I have a problem with the following code (took from your book). It
    doesnot make a beep sound and takes ainput. I am using Zoiper soft
    phone to test it with an IAX2 account.
    $result = agi->get_data(“beep”, 3000, 20);
    say_digits() also not working.

    My code looks like…

    1. #!/usr/bin/php -q
    2. answer();
    10.
    11. $agi->stream_file(“demo-congrats”,”#”);
    12. do
    13. {
    14. $agi->stream_file(“enter-some-digits”,”#”);
    15. $result = $agi->get_data(‘beep’, 3000, 20);
    $keys = $result['result'];
    16.
    17. $agi->stream_file(“you-entered”,”#”);
    18. $agi->say_digits($keys);
    19. } while($keys != ’111′);
    20. $agi->hangup();
    21. ?>

    asterisk out put….

    No other hardware is attached for PSTN line. I have tested the examples

    Hi Rajib,

    Well, if you copy pasted your AGI script as is, you have a small mistake with your ANSWER directive.

    1. #!/usr/bin/php -q
    2. answer();
    10.
    11. $agi->stream_file(”demo-congrats”,”#”);
    12. do
    13. {
    14. $agi->stream_file(”enter-some-digits”,”#”);
    15. $result = $agi->get_data(’beep’, 3000, 20);
    $keys = $result['result'];
    16.
    17. $agi->stream_file(”you-entered”,”#”);
    18. $agi->say_digits($keys);
    19. } while($keys != ‘111′);
    20. $agi->hangup();
    21. ?>

    In addition, it would appear that you didn’t even construct the AGI object correctly. If you refer to page 105 of my book, you would notice that lines 3 through 7 are missing from your script.

    Try also to increase your console debug level via the /etc/asterisk/logger.conf file, that may shed some more information in regards to what breaks your script.

    Cheers,
    Nir

    Hi Sir,
    thanks for your promptly response. I am a newbie to asterisk. I have a intel dual core pc with 1 GB ram. I have installed Asterisk 1.6.0.5 and configured with Zoiper Soft phone. I want to connect my PSTN line to it and some other phones to the extensions so, what hardware I need to attach PSTN line to my asterisk server. Please let me know.

    Thanks and Regards
    Rajib Deka
