Asterisk 13.7.0 Paging Issue

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hello,

I am having issues with the Page() command. When I add the line for example exten => 450,1,Page(SIP/451) it does page the over head SIP speaker (Cyberdata), but it asks for the conference pin number. Asterisk version is 13.7.0 and DAHDI is installed for the meetme timing. Any ideas why the page will not automatically join the conference?

Thanks!

Can you share the dialplan and console output that occurs when you dial your paging extension?

The dial plan is very simple right now because I have just been trying to get it to work.

exten => 450,1,Page(SIP/451)

Below is the console output that occurs when I call 450 from my extension 802

– Called 451

Try this

exten => 450,1,Page(SIP/451,n)

Still the same result

Page(“SIP/802-00020ab1”, “SIP/451,n”) in new stack

You should check what the confbridge.conf file has inside. Try to set an empty pin there. Page uses confbridge to setup a conference with all the phones, so I guess it reads what default values are inside this file and asks for a pin. Try to modify it.

Yes that was the issue. We were previously trying out conference bridge as the replacement for meetme and we did not comment out some of the settings.
