Asterisk Dials But vicidial wont..

Postby djarum » Wed Aug 26, 2009 11:07 am

Hi
I am using vicidialnow-ce-1.2_final on a dell poweredge 4400 with 3 gigs of ram and a digium 212 2 pri card card. I do not have a sound card in it so i am getting dsp errors in the trace below but i know how to resolve that and that is not my real problem.Tha calls from asterisk dial out and connect, but the dial that vicidial uses tries to dial out a sip or iax trunk from what i can see and doesn't use the extension.conf that asterisk uses....i cant find where vicidial is bypassing my zap trunks....I have all carriers inactive in vicidial, so i would think that it would use the only default trunks left to asterisk, but it doesn't seem to get that far in the dial progress.
Thanks in advance for any direction you can point me in.

I can dial out from asterisk and here is a trace of that..it connects to my phone no problem. No sound card...so i get dsp error...i will resolve that latter.

How can i make vicidial use the same medium to dial out that asterisk uses....
I am doing a straight broadcast box with a pri... no sip or iax at all on the box...I want it to dial out and leave a message...and for me that is legal, I don't have to worry about telemarketing rules and dnc lists

1) in your zapata.conf you will want to change the context to "trunkinbound" (you'll need it when you GET a call)

2) in your extensions.conf, which you posted, there is a certain amount of weirdness. Right about here:
; extensions if using a T1 channelbank
exten => _19XX,1,Dial(Zap/${EXTEN:2},30,o)
exten => _19XX,2,Hangup
exten => _9XXXXXXXXXX,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log),Macro(trunkdial,${trunk}/${EXTEN:1},${trunk_cid})


For starters, each "exten" is a little program. The lines of the program are "held together" by the actual extension. In this case the extension is "_19XX". Adding "_9XXXXXXXXXX" to this little group does not in any way "connect it" to the "_19XX" extension program, which is good because if I recall it is for another purpose anyway.

Also, you seem to have modified the dial plan to run in "local" instead of "default". This is not advisable until you have some experience with a working vicidial, so you can see what happens when you make changes to the extensions.conf (which you do NOT want to do ... really ... unless instructed and then MINOR changes ...!)

So, revert to the ORIGINAL extensions.conf file (or follow this and see if you can fix the one you have!), and you will find:
Code: Select all
; dial a long distance outbound number
;This 'o' Dial flag is VERY important for VICIDIAL on outbound cal
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(${TRUNKX}/${EXTEN:1},,To)
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,3,Hangup


Now you need to EITHER change "TRUNKX" to "TRUNK" (which will point to ZAP/g1) or just change TRUNKX=ZAP/g2 to TRUNKX=ZAP/g1 in the [GLOBALS] at the beginning of the file.

This is how it will THEN work:
1) You dail "91{AREA}{PHONE}" (total 12 digits)
2) this will match the "pattern" (so defined by the _ in front of it) 91NXXNXXXXXX, so this three line program will be used to "route" your call
3) on line 1, it will activate the Vicidial system to monitor the call
4) on line two it will dial the call and use "TRUNKX" ...
5) The variable TRUNKX (in globals) will be translated to "Zap/g1"
6) The call will then be made through group 1 of your T1 (defined in zapata.conf).
Note: If you need to remove the "1" because they are local calls, make ANOTHER three line program, just like this one, for EACH AREA CODE that is local. But in each of these three, there will be a minor difference: Let us say your area code is "608":
Code: Select all
; dial a long distance outbound number
;This 'o' Dial flag is VERY important for VICIDIAL on outbound cal
exten => _91608NXXXXXX,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten => _91608NXXXXXX,2,Dial(${TRUNKX}/${EXTEN:2},,To)
exten => _91608NXXXXXX,3,Hangup

The obvious difference is the "608" which will be a closer "pattern" match and catch the 608 area code calls automatically. Then the not-so-obvious change of "EXTEN:2" will drop the "1" before sending the call to the carrier.

The reason for this is to allow the calls to be treated the SAME in vicidial, but allow asterisk to strip the "1". You don't have to change the campaign to "local dialing" or enter the leads with the "1" missing. This way Vicidial neither knows nor cares that they are local, but the calls have the 1 removed IF going out through this carrier. If you have another carrier for VOIP (dial 8?), the call would be dialed the same by Vicidial, but NOT have the "1" stripped because there would be no "_81608NXXXXXX" dial plan to catch them and strip the 1. So that call would succeed as well, with NO changes in Vicidial or the List.

I made the changes suggested and tried a campaign and this is the reading from my cli.


I tried a test number in a variety of formats...and I think i changed the default to local in the extensions.conf the first time to try to circumvent the below problem.
I am trying to have a dialer using a pri card and just remote agents, to broadcast a series of messages out my pri trunks, and I think vicidial is still looking for sip trunks to use...all carriers are turned off in the admin pages...
TIA if anyone can point me in the right direction to get this running or if anybody has implemented this themselves and can give me a hint where to go next.
I just don't know if vicidial can do what i need it to do.

interesting, you've shown that it didn't work, with indication of why.

what it is saying is:
Code: Select all
No such extension/context 7164309360@default creating local channel
Which means that there is no match or pattern match for 7164309360 in the default context. Which causes the dial to fail.

So: In your default context, is there a _7XXXXXXXXX or similar pattern?

This information would be in extensions.conf or another file included in extensions.conf, and would be in the context "default" or in another context included in "default".
