Hello,

I am using the following settings…

Manager Api Command:

Action: Originate  
Channel: Local/@tutorial  
Exten: s  
Context: ast  
Priority: 1

extensions.conf settings

[ast]  
exten =\> s,1,DeadAgi(approve-credit)

[tutorial]  
exten =\> \_X.,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN})  
exten =\> \_X.,n,Background(demo-congrats)  
exten =\> \_X.,n,Hangup()

but the above configuration can’t dial the number… here, i am posting the logs…

```
-- Executing Dial("Local/457@tutorial-6683,2", "Zap/1/457") in new stack

```

If i try to dial the same no using the soft phone registered with asterisk, it dials the same number successfully…

Please guide me, Where the things go wrong…

Thanking You,

Jigar Thakkar.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply…

The diff b/w two situation is… if i tried to call using soft phone… the manger command will be like …

Action: Originate  
Channel: SIP/ivan  
Context: ast  
Exten: s  
Priority: 1

While if i tried to using local channel, instead of SIP/ivan… like Local/@tutorial, it gives the problem… And couldn’t dial a call, saying the Differing Call… As the log shows i posted above…

Please guide me regarding this…

Thanks & Regards,

Jigar Thakkar.
