Hi, our carrier passes any invalid number back as congestion which isnt ideal for dialling.....


Is it possible via a macro to reclassify all congested calls as DC?

there is a script from correcting the hangup cause here (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Aste ... angupcause)

Which variables should I alter to get vicidial to disposition the call as a DC rather than just timing out as a NA?


Thanks

Kenny

ask this a asterisk forum.. like forums.digium.com

Hi, I have got the script working just unsure exaclty what vicidial is wanting to see for a DC.

I have tried setting the PRI_CAUSE/HANGUP/RC but vici just picks it up as a NA.

Just looking for a little help

Thanks

Putting a dial status on your dialplan might help. Something like:

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(${Trunk}/${EXTEN},30,o)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)

exten => s-CONGESTION,1,Congestion
exten => s-CONGESTION,2,Hangup

I'm just not sure what kind of STATUS Asterisk needs to send to Vici in order for it to be tagged as DC.

For ViciDial you would need to alter the FastAGI_log script to have it classify these calls differently. The problem is that real network congestion happens as well, meaning that the call can come back as CONGESTION and then 5 minutes later you could make the same call without issues.

Hi,

Thank you all for your responses

ok will look at the fastAGI for this as I will retry the DC's I would just like to split out the real ring outs from the bad numbers.

I believe that being able to retry real NA far more than the bad numbers out weights the negative of real congestion being lumped in as a bad number. And from a analysis a DC would only be a real DC after say 3 separate attempts.
