QUESTION Why does PIAF/Asterisk say this trunk is down....

[lrosenman]

but it works (It's a hairpin for my Obi202 to get CID.

defaultuser=OBI202
type=friend
secret=<correct password>
context=custom-from-Obihai
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833
canreinvite=no
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=192.168.200.0/255.255.255.0

Any ideas here? Need more info?

I can supply whatever you need, but I'm still too new to know what to send by default.

I see Obi in your message. I have an Obi110 connected and followed Ward's article and it works just fine. Seems to me, you are missing a few pieces.

So, if you are using an Obi for POTS interface, follow this http://nerdvittles.com/?p=8563

If you are not, post what provider you are referring to. If this is connected as an extension, that definition would apply.

Setup:
1) OBI 202 with 2 Google Voice Numbers and Vitelity trunk, and the Asterisk Extension.
2) PIAF running on a RPI
3) the Asterisk extension is used to look up Google Voice numbers to get Caller ID NAME.

It WORKS, but the PIAF dashboard shows it as DOWN.

 

[lrosenman]

any other ideas?

qualify=yes

 

[lrosenman]

didn't change anything that I can tell

 

[lrosenman]

Ok, I blew away that trunk and re-did it, and now it shows as "Unmonitored", which I guess is expected, for this use.

so, we can call this "Probable User Error", as my old IBM Messages & Codes manuals would say

Thanks all,, I still need to learn more on this....
Eventual config will add some Cisco 79xx IP Phones that I have being driven off PIAF to use the Google Voice and Vitelity trunks for normal calls and e911 calls.

qualify=yes will get rid of "Unmonitored"

 

[lrosenman]

And that changes it to "DOWN". so... It's either "Down" or "Unmonitored".

but the graph isn't red anymore, so...
