Send session Progress (183) with ARI and Asterisk 14

Asterisk Asterisk APIs

Hi,

Is it possible to send session progress with ARI? I want the caller to send session progress (183) and then send ring (180) while he is waiting for another call. I’m using ari4java library and I used the command “ari.channels().ring(channelId);” for ring (which does “POST /channels/{channel_id}/ring”), but is there a command for session progress?

Thanks for any help!

At a system level, I’m not sure that it is always possible to back down from early media states, so end to end a change from 183 to 180 may prove ineffective, even if it appears to work over one hop.

Thank you for replying. I’m not sure I got you, could you please extend your answer?

If I remember correctly, ISDN does not allow Alerting to be used once in band call progress has been selected.

There is no route for progress as seen on the documentation[1]. Some will do progress if you haven’t answered the channel, but that’s it.

So you mean that it is only possible to play ring tone to the caller (by using channels.ring command) while he is waiting to another call ?
What I want to do is to send 183 and then 180 and when the other call enters the application (I get Stasis Start event), I answer both channels and connect both of them to a bridge. Is that possible to do it that way or am I missing something?

Thanks for helping!

You can’t send a 183 like you can a 180 in ARI. Only other routes (like when playing back a file) will cause progress to get sent.

I thought a bit more about your answer and I’m not sure I understand it. Would you please extend your answer and I would love to see an example if possible.
Thanks!

I’m not sure how to extend it. There is no explicit way to send Progress. It is only as a side effect of other things does it occur - like telling it to play a sound file without answering.

Ok… I asked because I read that in ARI and Asterisk 14 there is a message event called PROGRESS, which comes after channel originate method I assume. I will try to test that…
Here is where I saw that: https://github.com/greenfieldtech-nirs/phpari/issues/60

Thank you for your quick reply!
