Are you sure you read the SCRATCH_INSTALL:

### start up asterisk
/home/cron/start_asterisk_boot.pl


If it does not start then you should start it manually and post the errors:
asterisk -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvgc

Looks like there is a problem with your zaptel driver. What zaptel card are you using?

If none, what are you using for your zaptel timer?

What kernel are you running on?

Hi,
I am not using any zaptel device, i don't know where is to set zaptel timmer, please tell me details where and what to change.
regarding your question for kernel

Linux version 2.6.9-34.EL (buildcentos@build-i386) (gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2))

Then you must be using ztdummy. What are you using for your ztdummy timer? the USB driver or the kernel timer?

I am not an expert on ztdummy(we recommend getting at least an x100p card for timing), but here is the voip-info.org page on the subject:

Just compile Zaptel and use the ztdummy kernel module

after compiled (make clean, make, make install) run modprobe ztdummy

pretty sure thats all that needs to be done.

Mflorell says hire consultants.. well we did..

Postby mmerani » Tue Jun 27, 2006 2:40 pm

btw.. for those venturing into the wild beyond a fair warning...

I had contacted everyone on the page mflorell recommended, only one contacted me back, we hired this firm, they installed a complex environment for us and when they could not make it work.. they abandoned us after thousands of dollars of expense. We are limping along with the vicidialer and trying to get our sysadmin up to speed so we are back to doing it the hard way.

If there are any REAL consultants monitoring these boards.. please contact us.. we need an experienced person to make this environment work. :)

Please let me know which company you worked with off-forum.

As for the companies on the list, I have talked with them recently and they are all very busy. I am guessing they they may be picking their favorite or most profitable clients to take work from and dropping the rest.

It is difficult to find quality consultants for Asterisk right now since we are all very much in demand and, if they are like me, they have a few enterprise-level clients that demand our attention and pay very well for that attention at a moment's notice. This means that the smaller clients do get pushed aside from time to time.

I currently am only taking a few new small clients that will work with my schedule. I do consulting for $200/hour if you are interested, and since I wrote almost all of VICIDIAL I can usually get things running rather well for most of my clients.

If there are any consultants out there that would like to be added to the consultants list please contact me off-forum.

Hello,
I have reconfigured my PBX and VICIDIALER. I think it is running 90% correctly as when webclient logins with his UID/pwd,Phoneno/pwd there is one incoming ring to my SIP softphone atteched with pbx. But when i try to make call manual then it shows waiting for ring for 50 sec and then call get disconnected showing server time out. But when click on Call Agent Again link then it rings my softphone.
I am using this link http://MYIP/agc/vicidial.php I think some thing more required to make calls. I am not using any TDM400P card, i am using H323 codec means VOIP to directly transfer calls from my PBX.
Please help me soon.
With regards,
Nitin Srivastava

VICIDIAL does not work with H323.

VICIDIAL only works with Zap, IAX or SIP channels.

hi,
My PBX is working on SIP channel, But i think that there is little problem somwhere in the Config. files because it is waiting for ring on the webform.

That is not Asterisk CLI output.

I need to see the Asterisk CLI output from the "asterisk -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvgc" command while you are trying to dial.

Are you using freepbx?

It's going to take you some work to get that working with all of this callerID altering that you are going to have to delete from your dialplans.

The problem seems to be that you don't have the 8600051-8600100 extens in your default context. Can you confirm that they are in there?

Your issue is with the dialplan. That messge means that Asterisk is not finding the 8600051 exten in the [default] context.

I ask you again, are you using freepbx?

[default]
include => ext-local
exten => s,1,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => s,2,Macro(hangupcall)

what to be added here please specify in detail.

Postby mflorell » Thu Jun 29, 2006 9:07 am

freepbx creates a mess of dialplan rules that cause all sorts of problems for VICIDIAL. The biggest one is the callerID issue where freepbx overrides the callerID set by VICIDIAL unless you setup several special rules in freepbx so that it will not mess with callerID on VICIDIAL calls. The issue you are having with it is unrelated to the callerID issue and I do not know how to fix that either within freepbx.

We are working on testing freepbx with VICIDIAL but we still haven't gotten it to work. When we do, we will post our results on this forum. Until then I suggest you remove freepbx and use basic conf files.

Hi,
then let me know how to make vicidialer work, without FREEPBX (Asteriak) Version 2.0.1 . what changes are required to make it run without any PBX or some other PBX. If it works with some other pbx then let me know that which PBX i must install to make it run.
My Asterisk version is 1.2.7.1
There must be some solution to make VICIDAILER active at this stage too. please reply.
with regards,

All I can suggest is to follow the SCRATCH_INSTALL document. If you follow it your system will work.

It would probably be much easier and faster for you to hire a consultant to install VICIDIAL for you on your system.

i have told what errors and outputs are coming there. I want to know that will it work by doing some entries in some config files or it will not work at all. Since i am folliowing ur scratch_insatll file from begining, i have done all the changes u have suggested me, but it really not started. But why there is one call to my SIP softphone when Agent logins to web form using user id/ pwd, phone_no/pwd. It is amazing that call is coming from web form to my Softphone but when trying to make out calls by manual dialing or auto dialing then it is waiting for ring and finally ring time outs. Where is the basic problem here, is it in PBX Configuartion or VICIDAILER configuration.
reoply soon.

If you have followed the SCRATCH_INSTALL I would like to know where on that document it says to install freepbx?

Your problem is with your dialplan(extensions.conf). You need to delete it and all other freepbx files that you installed and start again from PHASE 5 in the SCRATCH_INSTALL document.

According to you what should i do. I have earlier told you that i am not a linux guy, so tell me what and how to do all changes required to make successfull run of this VICIDIALER.

ic thats why.... i guess ur using aah or trixbox
go to macro-dialout-trunk look for

exten => s,15,Dial(${OUT_${ARG1}}/${OUTNUM}) ; Regular Trunk Dial


and change it to
exten => s,15,Dial(${OUT_${ARG1}}/${OUTNUM},55,to) ; Regular Trunk Dial


and add those extensions in extension_custom.conf

You need Asterisk Consultant FOR SURE

Postby enterux » Fri Jun 30, 2006 11:39 am

Hey Nitin,

I read through your entire post and figured that you didnt install astGUIClient / Vicidial from scratch.

And now that the entire thing has become lot more complicated :)

If you still care, do write to me, I provide professional consulting on setting up Vicidial and also we are official Digium Hardware Reseller and can help you with the stuff.

Thanks & Regards,
