DAHDI and ZAP extension monitoring help.

I am having some trouble showing any monitoring whatsoever.

I started reading some posts but I didn't get much further than a DAHDI truck parameter.

I am using the latest and greatest stable version of FreePBX (everything updated, configured and working) followed but and installation of the latest FOP2 server and module.

You mentioned,
If its DAHDI, you must configure the channel number range in the fop2 buttons page in freepbx fop2admin, like 1-30
.

I set up my DAHDI trunks with the channel it was assigned. This indicated to me that I have to set up my ZAP channels (extensions) to something similar. Is this correct? I cannot find much on anything other than SIP.


Thanks!

  • Not sure if I understand exactly what you did with your DAHDI setup, but if you want to monitor a dahdi trunk you must go to the FOP2 BUTTONS page in Fop2Admin freepbx module, in that button list, down the bottom, you will see the Trunks sections, and the DAHDI/Zap trunks, and there you have a field where you must complete the channel range, like: "1-30"
  • Oh ok. I'll take another look.

    What about channels? None of my zap channels (extensions) show any activity either. Nothing seems to be monitored. I'm sure I'm missing a simple setting but if you could point me in the right direction, that would be great!

    In a perfect world, I could see if someone is on a certain phone at any time.

    Thanks!

    PS: Fantastic project! Keep up the good work.
  • NOTHING SHOWS? or just Dahdi? Do you have sip extensions? Do you see any activity for them? IF nothing shows, you most probably have problems with your asterisk manager settings.

    /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --test

    That will test the manager connection. Also be sure you have all permissions in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf

    I see buttons of my extensions but no activity at all. I do not have any sip extensions. I do have some fake extensions that I am using for forwarding to cell phones using follow me but they are simple.



    Here is my manager.conf (user/pass changed).
    [general]
    enabled = yes
    port = 5038
    bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
    displayconnects=no ;only effects 1.6+

    [admin]
    secret = ******
    deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
    permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
    read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config,command,dtmf,reporting,cdr,dialplan,originate
    write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config,command,dtmf,reporting,cdr,dialplan,originate

    #include manager_additional.conf
    #include manager_custom.conf

    There is nothing in manager_additional.conf and manager_custom.conf.


    For u/p comparison, here is my fop2.cfg

  • Did you run

    /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --test

    ??

    What is the output of one of your extension buttons when you run

    /usr/local/fop2/autoconfig-buttons-freepbx.sh ?

    Fop2 monitors based on channel names reported by asterisk, you can see the names by doing a "core show channels" in the asterisk cli while you have some calls up.

    Those names must match the button configuration device (between brackets in the buttons.cfg file).

    Best regards,
  • Oh sorry. Yes I ran /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --test and got a result of "Connection to manager OK!"

    When I ran /usr/local/fop2/autoconfig-buttons-freepbx.sh, I get:

    I'm sure I'm bloody close. It must be something simple by this point.

    Thanks for your help so far.
  • Ok, the misunderstanding is that you are using DAHDI extensions and I assumed you were talking about trunks.

    As you see, the buttons are named Zap/X, but most probably Asterisk reports them as DAHDI/X, so what you need to do is go to the fop2 buttons page, and in the channel field (that you mentioned earlier), write:

    DAHDI/2

    DAHDI/3

    etc..

    matching the number you see on the channel name.

    Best regards,
  • How exiting!

    I set it up as shown below.
