RE: Zaptel

Thanks Simpson,

 

I do have the options you’ve specificed in my Zapata.conf file. ; You mention the extenions.conf file for outbound, does that also affect inbound?  Outbound callerid is fine, it’s the inbound caller id that’;s not working.  I tested to see if caller id information was being sent (and not being blocked) by our phone provider by calling from one phone to another, then calling from that same phone into the asterisk pbx, but when it gets into the pbx, it displays “unknown”.

 

Regarding fixing my original problem, I think most of the issue had to do with not having zaptel_enable=”YES” in my rc.conf file. ; Installing asterisk from the FreeBSD ports installed everything I needed included the .ko modules. Once I enabled zaptel in rc.conf, then I took a little more time going through the zapatel.conf, and zaptel.conf files to figure out how to configure.  This biggest hang up was the rc.conf file because I was getting errors where documentation was saying I shouldn217;t.

 

Thanks again,

 

 

Hi,

Please check your zapata.conf file and make sure it has these fields below [channels]:
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
usecallingpres=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes

Try to see if that works. If not, you might have to check how you setup your outbound dialing in extensions.conf.

Let me know.

Simpson

P.S. If you can, please update the BSD list to let the community know how you were able to resolve your problem. It might be beneficial to future users. Thanks again!
