Sorry for the vague subject, but I’m having a hard time trying to describe my problem.
I’m testing out asterisk as an answering machine replacement. So the asterisk server shares the same incoming pstn line as my analog phones. I also use asterisk to send callerid information to a ‘misterhouse’ home automation program for notification. This works absolutely fantastic for incoming calls.
The problem is, when I dial out, asterisk sees the line as active and sends non-existant callerid information on an occasional basis. So when I call out I get a ‘phone call from unknown’ announcement every 5-6 minutes.
Is there any way to fix this such that asterisk can only activate when it senses a ring, and leaves outbound calls alone? I’ve searched and searched and haven’t found anything at all similar to my problem.
I’ve included entries from my extensions.conf, Zapata.conf as well as a relevant section from the log when I make an outgoing call.
thank you in advance very much for any assistance.
