Hi There;

I just updated to asterisk 1.8 which resolved most of the issues I was having with FOP2, however, I can't get the dial button or the dial box to work properly. If I select another extension and press the dial button, nothing happens; it does not ring my phone to initiate the connection and no commands are sent to asterisk. This is the same if I enter a number in the dial box. The dial box does work for transferring, ie. if I'm on a call, enter a number in the dial box and hit enter, it transfers the call to that number so the problem seems to be with just originating a new call to my phone.

I have my fop2admin AMI user setup for "all" read/write permissions and I have tried adding in "originate" and "dial" in addition to "all" to see if it makes a difference, but it doesn't.

The FOP2 user I am using has "all" rights and all other functions seem to work properly.

This isn't a huge deal as most of the users don't use FOP2 to operate their phones, however I would like to get this working in the event the users decide to make use of this feature.

Thanks,

Hi There,

As I had previously stated, I had tried that to no effect. My FOP2admin user (I'm not using the default AMI admin) currently has read/write permissions of "originate, dial, all".

Full User info the manager.conf file:

[fop2admin]
secret = secret
permit = 172.16.0.0/255.255.255.0
read = originate, dial, all
write = originate, dial, all
writetimeout = 1000
eventfilter = !Event: RTCPSent
eventfilter = !Event: RTCPReceived
eventfilter = !Event: VarSet
eventfilter = !Event: Cdr
eventfilter = !Event: ExtensionStatus
eventfilter = !Event: ChannelUpdate

AMI info in my fop2.cfg file is:

manager_host=localhost
manager_port=5038
manager_user=fop2admin
manager_secret=secret

And it is definitely logging in OK with that user considering everything else works.

I fired up logging in fop2 and this is what I get when I try to run the dial command:

DIAL
Action: Originate
Channel: local
Exten: XX
Context: from-internal
Priority: 1
CallerID: TV01 Test <9998>
Async: True

127.0.0.1       -> Async: True

** MAIN End of block from localhost

127.0.0.1       <- Response: Error
127.0.0.1       <- Message: Invalid channel
127.0.0.1       <- Server: 0

** MAIN AMI event received...
** MAIN No 'Event' nor 'End'. Erasing block...

Response: Error
Message: Invalid channel
Server: 0

So I'm not sure what it is referring to with "Error Invalid Channel". It is the same with internal extension or external numbers.

Thanks,

Hi,

The problem was that I hadn't configured anything. With the FreePBX FOP2 admin module, if you don't configure anything specifically for the originate channel in the buttons, what it generates is what I posted in the logs. I manually entered in the originate channel for each extension in the FreePBX admin as local/xxxx@from-internal and this resolved the issue.

Thanks,
