Hello,

I'm trying to integrate this http://nerdvittles.com/index.php?p=82 into this http://nerdvittles.com/index.php?p=88

Basically, I would like to have asterisk look up the name for any callers in my Asteridex database and allow me to use the nvfaxdetect method for receiving faxes.

Where/how would the line exten => s,4,AGI(calleridname.agi) be best inserted into the following?:

[from-pstn-reghours]
exten => s,1,GotoIf($[${FAX_RX} = disabled]?from-pstn-reghours-nofax,s,1:2) ; if fax detection is disabled, then jump to from-pstn-nofax - else continue
exten => s,2,Answer
exten => s,3,Playtones(ring) ; play fake ring so caller doesn't wonder what's going on
exten => s,4,NVFaxDetect(10) ; detect faxes while playing ring sound - goes to "fax" extension if detected
exten => s,5,SetVar(intype=${INCOMING})
exten => s,6,Cut(intype=intype,-,1)
exten => s,7,GotoIf($[${intype} = EXT]?8:9) ; If INCOMING starts with EXT, then assume its an extension
exten => s,8,Goto(ext-local,${INCOMING:4},1)
exten => s,9,GotoIf($[${intype} = GRP]?10:11) ; If INCOMING starts with GRP, then assume its a ring group
exten => s,10,Goto(ext-group,${INCOMING:4},1)
exten => s,11,GotoIf($[${intype} = QUE]?12:13)
exten => s,12,Goto(ext-queues,${INCOMING:4},1)
exten => s,13,Goto(${INCOMING},s,1) ; not EXT or GR1 - it's an auto attendant
exten => fax,1,Goto(ext-fax,in_fax,1)
exten => h,1,Hangup

i tend to avoid changing the main config files directly, since i'm using AAH, and that's a recipe to get screwed. you could put both changes into extensions_custom.conf (if you're running AAH), and have your custom code jump back into from-pstn-timecheck (or somesuch - I'm not at home, so I can't post my config...) i do something similar to this...

I would put the line at the beggining of your providers stanza, as soon as you receive the call, from there you can forward the call to from-pstn if you like. for example:

;Telasip
exten => NXXXXXXXXX,1,AGI(calleridname.agi)
exten => NXXXXXXXXX,3,Goto(from-pstn,s,1)

[dswartz]

here's what i did:

;
; Special tweaks we do for incoming calls. AAH doesn't allow invocation
; of privacy manager for PSTN calls, or invocation of zapateller, so we
; "roll our own" here. Also, for inbound PSTN calls, wait 3 seconds in
; case it's a fax call (to allow nv_detect_background) to redirect the
; call to fax context if so. Also, asterisk providers seem to send odd
; strings like 'asterisk' or 'UNKNOWN' when CID is blocked - check for
; that and null out both strings if so...
;

exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,n,NoOp(${CALLERID(num)});
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" = "UNKNOWN"]?fixup_cid)
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" = "UNAVAILABLE"]?fixup_cid)
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" != "asterisk"]?check_cid)
exten => s,n(fixup_cid),SetCallerID(,)
exten => s,n(check_cid),Zapateller(nocallerid)
exten => s,n(goaway),PrivacyManager
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(name)}" = "Privacy Manager"]?timeconditions,3,1)
exten => s,n,LookupCIDName
exten => s,n,AGI(calleridname.agi)
exten => s,n,Goto(timeconditions,3,1)
exten => s,goaway+101,MusicOnHold

[from-pstn-custom]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,n,Wait(3)
exten => s,n,Zapateller(nocallerid)
exten => s,n(goaway),PrivacyManager
exten => s,n,Goto(timeconditions,3,1)
exten => s,goaway+101,MusicOnHold

Thanks for the replies.

What does the +101 do?

[dswartz]

if you are at priority X, if privacy manager fails, it will automatically jump to X+101 (if X+101 exists). so, this is where a caller goes if they did not enter a valid phone number in 3 tries...
