Dahdi - Trunk no audio on out bound

[womble1]

I have an Openvox card x400p
wctdm24xxp
seemingly set up OK but on outgoing calls there is no audio … not even a dial tone, incoming is fine….

not sure if the log below is relevant ?

Most likely, your installation has a trunk g0 in it. I believe that this is installed by default in PIAF. Go ahead and add 4 dahdi trunks and in the identifier field, put the trunk number 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Now set up a dial 9 outbound route with the dial pattern of

9|

and point it to Dahdi trunk 1. When you dial 9, you should hear dial-tone. Repeat this test with Dahdi 2,3 and 4. This will tell you if the TDM card is configured correctly. If you don't hear any dial tone, then post you chan-dahdi.conf file for us to look at.

Are you in Europe or North America?

I only have one FXO module on the card

 

[womble1]

I a in the UK

 

[reconwireless]

I believe the default codec provisioned by dahdi is ulaw you will need to override that to use alaw in the UK, I think you can add "A-law override:alaw" to your /etc/asterisk/chan-dahdi.conf file, but then again I don't get many customers from your neighborhood.

Isn't the Openvox 4 channel card usually on wctdm driver? All of mine are..

I don't use DAHDI (still on Zaptel) but if you are making an outbound call the signalling looks a bit odd TBH, you shouldn't be getting a "ring begin" on outbound call.

On Zaptel I've always set my codecs at the extension/endpoint level to alaw and its worked fine...

Is the DAHDI channel shown as available and not in alarm?

apparently DAHDI does now check for -48V on the line (to the point where earlier versions choked on the Openreach line test and locked out the channel!) whereas Zaptel would happily dial out into an unconnected copper pair

try also using Zapbarge to monitor the relevant Zap channel and checking what audio is actually going through, and/ or if you have a 340 test set or other test phone with high impedance monitor, listen to the line at the BT socket or any other convenient places..

 

[womble1]

calls come in fine…
an inbound call on the Dahdi Trunk is fine but outgoing you can see the call go out, but no sound….
the phone rings you can pick it up (so I can ring my mobile for instance from the Dahadi trunk) but no sound….
so sound in bound not outbound.
also UK caller ID not working …
Thanks...

This is your problem. You are using the wrong codec G.711 ulaw (North America only) and you should be using g.711 alaw (Europe and England). In your trunk config, allow=alaw

 

[womble1]

I have done that

Thanks..

This line is wrong:

include chan_dahdi_additional.conf

It is a directive and requires a "#" sign in front. A # is not a comment symbol. The correct line should be:

#include chan_dahdi_additional.conf

 

[reconwireless]

I myself don't use the dahdi module in freepbx, I remove it an manually config, or use scripts supplied by the card vendor for PIAF. That module seemed to cause me more problems more than solutions, maybe it's different for people using cards direct from digium...

 

[womble1]

where do I do that ?
I already have alaw set in the dahdi module…
That must write to a text file…, obviously it is not writing properly….

 

[blanchae]

You should manually configure /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf to include the chan_dahdi_additional.conf. This file contains your extension settings. If it is not included, your extensions won't work properly.

 

[womble1]

I have done,
however I do not seem to have a chan_dahdi_additional.conf on my system… or I can't see it in config edit...

 

[blanchae]

from the Asterisk CLI>" dahdi restart" then "dahdi show channels"

 

[blanchae]

Show us the contents of:

/etc/dahdi/system.conf
/etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf
/etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi_general.conf
/etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi_groups.conf

also from the Linux command prompt:

grep chan_dahdi.c /var/log/asterisk/full

Resolved this worked… Thanks...

This is your problem. You are using the wrong codec G.711 ulaw (North America only) and you should be using g.711 alaw (Europe and England). In your trunk config, allow=alaw

nope this did not work, it's already set to this….
