OK, what I have is the digium tdm400p 4port card with 1 FXO card in the 4th port and 1 FXS card in the first port.
I am connecting to POTS through an analog port on a traditional PBX. I have a few softphones, a few cisoc 79xx phones and I can call out with those asterisk extensions
just fine. Here is where I get confused. I created a trunk (zap/g0) created extensions (phones wouldn’t work otherwise), created in and outbound routes, and it will NOT answer
an incoming call on the zap trunk.
I noticed through the FOP that asterisk is seeing the call coming in. I can even drag and drop the call to an extension and it will answer.
I sure could use some pointing in the correct direction.
here are my conf files if they help.

OK, it now answers on the third ring but does not go anywhere (just dead air).
Outbound dialing still works just fine and I am thinking this is simply a scripting (is that the correct word??) issue on my part.
If anyone has a simple example for inbound answering exten=> …
I would sure appreciate a look.
thank you.
Make sure that you have the context set up correct for that specific ZAP channel or channels and then add the following into that context in extensions.conf
exten => s,1,Answer ;Answer the call
exten => s,2,Musiconhold ;Play the MOH music for them
exten => s,3,hangup ; When the call is done hang up
Thank you dave!
I obviously have more serious problems here.
I put in what you said under the contexxt "incoming"
It does not see it.
I’ll keep working on it.
The softphones work great and the outbound through the pots is fine. I even got the streaming music on hold to work.
If you created an “incoming” context in your extensions.conf with the Dave’s code, did you change the context in your zapata.conf file from “from-pstn” to “incoming”? Or move the code from incoming to from-pstn in your extensions.conf. Your initial post show the zap channel 4 going to context from-pstn
The output I see from sterisk shows:
starting simple switch on 'Zap/4-1’
Executing Answer(Zap/4-1)
Executing Dial(“Zap/4-1”,“SIP1000&SIP2000|5|tr”)
Hangup ‘Zap/4-1’
I thought the answer and dial with the TR would answer the incoming call, dial extensions 1000 and 2000 and transfer.
All that happens is it hangs up (within 2 seconds)
if you’re still learning how this all works, it would be much less frustrating to use a distro like asterisk@home (now trixbox), since this all “just works”.
