Setting un Instant Messaging in Asterisk

[jjacquesmuller]

Hello everyone,
I am now using Asterisk 16.19.1 since a month and I am very happy to got it working.
I am looking to install instant messaging in MicroSIP.
Currently when I send a message from 1067 to 1092, the 1092’s MicroSIP is ringing as anonymous with no sound.
Here is my extension.conf :

[Aucun] ; No plan
exten => _.,1,PlayBack(/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/custom/noforfait)

[get-callerid]
exten => 800,1,set(callerid=${CALLERID(num)})
same = n,agi(googletts.agi,"Votre numéro est le "${callerid} ". Bonne journée.",fr,any,1.5)
same = n,Hangup()

[soundtest]
exten => 802,1,Answer()
same = n,agi(googletts.agi,"Test de connexion réussi. Testez votre voix en parlant maintenant.",fr,any,1.5)
same = n,echo()
same = n,Hangup()

[get-time]
exten => 801,1,set(currentTime=${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},GMT-2,%H:%M)})
same = n,agi(googletts.agi,"Il est actuellement " ${currentTime},fr,any,1.5)
same = n,Hangup()

[ippi]
exten => s,1,PlayBack(custom/welcome)
same = n,Ringing
same = n,Dial(PJSIP/1067&PJSIP/1092,60,tTm(predecrochage))
same = n,PlayBack(custom/noagent)
same = n,HangUp()

[DialEndpoints] ; Internal calls - The extension I want to install Instant Messaging
exten => _10.,1,Ringing
same = n,Dial(PJSIP/${EXTEN},30,tTm(predecrochage))
same = n,PlayBack(custom/agentunavailable)
same = n,HangUp()

[live]
exten => 805,1,ConfBridge(confLive,live,user_live)

[unallowed]
exten => _.,1,PlayBack(/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/custom/forbidden)

What should I change / install in Asterisk ?
Thanks for your help!

You’ll need a message context to be set for all users or those who will have this feature enabled.

Take a look in this context sample: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23110898/879613

[jjacquesmuller]

Thanks!
I can’t use the sample because the author didn’t show us the chatplan.php file, which is required for this dialplan.

[david551]

There is is a version of the dialplan, in that thread, with the AGI call commented out.

In any case, I think the intent was to show the use of the context, not to give you a canned solution. For example, that dialplan seems to do more than is is stricly necessary. You need understand it, not just copy it.

[jjacquesmuller]

Thanks for your answer. Got it working! Just another interrogation, is it possible to use the same endpoint number to dial / IM ?
Here is my dialplan :

[instant-message]
exten => _#1067,1,Set(DEVSTATE=${DEVICE_STATE(PJSIP/1067)})
 same => n,GotoIf($["${DEVSTATE}" = "UNAVAILABLE"]?errormsg1)
 same => n,GotoIf($["${DEVSTATE}" = "INVALID"]?errormsg2)
 same => n,GotoIf($["${DEVSTATE}" = "UNKNOWN"]?errormsg2)
 same => n,MessageSend(pjsip:1067,${MESSAGE(from)})
 same => n,System(curl --data "from=${MESSAGE(from)}" --data "to=${EXTEN}" --data-urlencode "message=${MESSAGE(body)}" 127.0.0.1/messagelog-internal.php?)
 same => n,Hangup()
 same => n(errormsg1),Log(NOTICE,Extension is ${DEVSTATE})
 same => n,Gosub(msg-error1,s,1(${MESSAGE(from)},${EXTEN},${DEVSTATE}))
 same => n(errormsg2),Log(NOTICE,Extension is ${DEVSTATE})
 same => n,Gosub(msg-error2,s,1(${MESSAGE(from)},${EXTEN},${DEVSTATE}))

But i have also :

exten => 1067,Dial(PJSIP/${EXTEN},30,tTm(predecrochage))

I want to use the IM without putting “#”. Is it possible ?
Thanks!

[david551]

Extension numbers are qualified by the context, so 1067 in the instant-message context is a completely different extension from extension 1067 in the “also” context.

Also, there is no point in having _ if there are no wild cards in the pattern.

[jjacquesmuller]

Ok so I can’t call and send messages with the same endpoint/account registered on microsip, I have to re-create endpoints, right?

[david551]

I’m not aware of any such limitation. Endpoint names are unrelated to extension names.

[jjacquesmuller]

I am really sorry but I don’t see how I should use the dialplan for this.
I have my internal dialplan for calls :

[DialEndpoints] ; Internal calls
exten => _10.,1,set(CALLERID(num)=${CHANNEL(endpoint)})
same = n,Ringing
same = n,Dial(PJSIP/${EXTEN},30,tTm(predecrochage))
same = n,PlayBack(custom/agentunavailable)
same = n,HangUp()

And my instant message dialplan :

[instant-message] ; Internal messages 
exten => _#10.,1,Set(number=${EXTEN:1})
same = n,MessageSend(pjsip:${number},${MESSAGE(from)})
same = n,Hangup()

They are both included in my final context.

If I do :

[instant-message] ; Internal messages 
exten => _10.,1,MessageSend(pjsip:${EXTEN},${MESSAGE(from)})
same = n,Hangup()

the endpoint rings and the message fails.
I would love to keep the same endpoint number to call and to send messages.
Sorry again for my basic questions but I really don’t see how I can do that.

[jjacquesmuller]

Found the solution : I just had to set message_context = instant-message for each endpoint, thanks for the help!
