Hello experts,
In an Asterisk box, we have one TDM401 card with 3FXO modules. When receiving an incoming call through any of those three ports, I want to use the channel number (1,2 or 3) in the dialplan. I have checked FUNC_CHANNEL, but it doesn’t seem to return channel number or name.
I can solve this by using separate context for each channel, but that becomes a problem when using more channels.
Any help?
Generally this is a trace for incoming call:
-- Starting simple switch on 'DAHDI/2-1'
-- Executing [s@entrada:1] Wait("DAHDI/2-1", "2") in new stack
-- Executing [s@entrada:2] Answer("DAHDI/2-1", "") in new stack
What do you want to do in the dialplan you can catch the ID with AMI maybe.
Recent additions to func_channel included in 1.8.5.0,
exten => _5XXX,1,NoOp(Channel-${CHANNEL(dahdi_channel)})
exten => _5XXX,n,NoOp(Span----${CHANNEL(dahdi_span)})
exten => _5XXX,n,NoOp(Type----${CHANNEL(dahdi_type)})
I’ve used the patch in earlier 1.8 releases and it’s worked fine, new AMI events too.
Thank you for the great news. I think that I have to upgrade to 1.8 soon.
BTW, I have solved it in 1.6.2 by using setvar=LINENO=1 (or the channel number) in dahdi-channels.conf, then in the dialplan, I used ${LINENO} to return the channel number.
