[RESOLVED] CallerID sometimes works in The Netherlands

Hi folks,

CallerID sometimes works with my TDM11b card. The line is a KPN line. My analog DECT phone receives the CallerID every time, flawlessly, so it seems to be transmitted reliably. Here is my zapata.conf:

[channels]
usecallerid=yes
cidsignalling=dtmf
cidstart=polarity
relaxdtmf=yes

busydetect=yes
busycount=3
echocancel=yes

signalling=fxs_ks
context=vastelijn-in
callerid=asreceived
rxgain=10
channel => 1

signalling=fxo_ks
context=thuistelefoon
callerid="Telefoon" <40>
cancallforward=yes
rxgain=0
flash=300
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
channel => 2

Does any of you have an idea on how to improve? I’ve already tried “cidstart=polarity” and “cidstart=ring”, with and without “relaxdtmf=yes”, all with unsatisfactory results.

Hi

Try ring, and drop the rxgain to see if this is distorting the signaling.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t improve anything. If anything, CallerID detection got worse. This is what I see on the console with “ring”:

*CLI>     -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1'
Mar 26 15:07:36 NOTICE[11797]: chan_zap.c:6063 ss_thread: Got event 18 (Ring Begin)...
Mar 26 15:07:37 NOTICE[11797]: chan_zap.c:6063 ss_thread: Got event 2 (Ring/Answered)...
Mar 26 15:07:41 NOTICE[11797]: chan_zap.c:6063 ss_thread: Got event 18 (Ring Begin)...
    -- Executing AGI("Zap/1-1", "jabber.agi|myjabber@address Inkomend gesprek van .") in new stack

This is what I see on the console, when put things back to “polarity”:

  == Starting post polarity CID detection on channel 1
    -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1'
    -- Executing AGI("Zap/1-1", "jabber.agi|myjabber@address Inkomend gesprek van .") in new stack

The CallerID number should be between “inkomend gesprek van” and the period after it.

After the changes in zapata.conf, I issued a “restart when convenient” command to reload everything.

I also tried “cidstart=ring” and “cidstart=polarity” with “immediate=yes”, but that didn’t work either.

For those that are interested, I fixed the issue. The reason was that the signal was too low, so setting rxgain=14 solved it.
