I can't make a conference room

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hi all, I’ve tried some tutorials about Meetme.conf and ztdummy, and the softphone cannot find the conference room. The result is 404, not found.

Someone can give me tips about this problem ?

Thanks !

I have had trouble with conference rooms to.

exten => 300,2,MeetMe(,DMs) worked for me. The D is to add dynamicaly a conference room. The M is to have moh while the only person in the conference room. It’s actually a pretty nice feature.

exten => 301,1,MeetMe(333) give a error message while I had

conf => 333,M,1234 to prepare for this conference room.

This is the cli output.
Parsing ‘/etc/asterisk/meetme.conf’: Found
– Playing ‘conf-invalid’ (language ‘en’)
== Spawn extension (astlinux, 301, 1) exited non-zero on ‘IAX2/astlinux@192.168.1.106:4569/4’
– Hungup ‘IAX2/astlinux@192.168.1.106:4569/4’

It was just for trying and testing so the first option is fine for me. I’m pretty sure that I followed the book but I give up to get the static conference room working.

I hope my contribution is of some help.

Thanks for the help, but I haven’t done yet.

I’m using the sip protocol and I do not have the zaptel card, I’m using the ztdummy.

I have tried what you did say, but the status when the softphone tries to call is:
404 not found.

When I try in CLI> Meetme, they say that: “No active conferences”.

sip.conf

[myself]
type=friend
username=myself
callerid=myself
secret=myself
context=test
host=dynamic
nat=yes

extensions.conf

[test]
exten => s,1,Wait(1)
exten => s,2,Answer()
exten => s,3,NoOp(${CALLERID})
exten => s,n,NoOp(${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,n,NoOp(${CALLERIDNAME})
exten => s,n,Wait(4)
exten => s,n,HangUP()

exten => 1234,1,Dial(SIP/myself)
exten => myself,1,Goto(1234,1)


exten => 300,2,MeetMe(,DMs)

meetme.conf

[rooms]
conf => 333,M,1234

Thanks.

What happens when you call extension 300 . You should enter an ivr that guide you through the proces of starting a conference room, f.i. room 5555 with access code 12345. When starting a conference room you will offcourse be the first to enter the room. Others can enter the conference and than you can start conferencing. When you use the D parameter you don’t need to configure meetme.conf. For conferencing you need ztdummy. You can check this with lsmod on the linux prompt. ztdummy should be in the output.

When I call extension 300 from the softphone the result is 404 not found. I have installed the ztdummy, and they are running in lsmod. But about the ivr, i never had hear about it, ca you give-me some examples ?

Regards !!!

Just add

[300]
exten => 300,2,MeetMe(,DMs)

to extension .conf and and to the default context (assuming that your softphone uses the default context)

include => 300

Instead of 300 you can use any othernumber. This should work. When calling 300 with your softphone you will entere a dialog that asks for a conference number. Because you are start a conference you can pick any number you want or like (2 will do just as 132413413414) and press the # key. Then yu are asked to enter a pincode. If this is not needed you can only press the # key.

check voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+MeetMe

run “show applications” on the cli. MeetMe should be in the list.

I hope this helps.
