18:59.46plarsenSigh :(
19:00.59jsmithYeah, pretty darn hot
19:03.19jsmithplarsen: Do you know what version of FreePBX your friend is running?
19:06.16jsmithplarsen: (and which version of Asterisk?)
19:06.22plarsenjsmith, sorry no. I can find out though.
19:06.47jsmithplarsen: Please do... I've got the FreePBX maintainer interested (in a private message)
19:07.45plarsenjsmith, not sure I'll get an immediate answer. Hang on - let me try go expedite it :)
19:07.58jsmithplarsen: No worries... just trying to strike while the iron is hot
19:09.29plarsenTrixbox / FreePBX ...
19:09.32plarsenHow can he tell the version?
19:10.31plarsenDownloaded it about 1-2 month ago.
19:10.43plarsenIt's a "trix box" - he doesn't know how to tell the version :(
19:10.51plarsen2.5 - 2.5.2 ?
19:11.02plarsenjsmith,
19:11.05jsmithThat sounds right
19:11.12plarsencore is 5.5.2.4 ... not sure what core means here
19:11.48jsmithYeah, not sure what that is either... 2.5.2 is what I needed
19:12.01jsmithDo you know if it's running Asterisk 1.4.x or 1.6.x.y?
19:12.39plarsenHow can he tell, jsmith ?
19:12.50plarsenhe doesn't know the command/way to tell
19:12.56jsmithasterisk -rx 'core show version'
19:13.06jsmithfrom the command-line interface
19:13.11jsmith(as root)
19:13.30plarsen1.6.0.1.0
19:14.51jsmithOK... next question... is there a line near the bottom of /etc/asterisk/sip.conf that says #include sip_custom_post.conf?
19:16.08jsmithIf so, add the following two lines to sip_custom_post.conf:
19:16.32jsmith[the-name-of-the-sip-device-from-sip.conf](+)
19:16.35jsmithcall-limit=99
19:17.20jsmithYou'll need those two lines for each SIP device, unfortunately
19:17.57plarsenhe says it's empy
19:18.44plarsenTrying to get him to assertain what the sip device name is ;)
19:19.28jsmithIn sip.conf, there should be some sections that look something like:
19:19.30jsmith[bob]
19:19.33jsmithtype=friend
19:19.36jsmithsecret=donuts
19:19.43jsmithhost=dynamic
19:19.46jsmithetc, etc.
19:20.15jsmithIn this case, you'd need to add the following to sip_custom_post to get the SIP device state tracking to work for that device
19:20.17plarsenbob = device
19:20.21plarsen?
19:20.22jsmith[bob](+)
19:20.25jsmithcall-limit=99
19:20.28jsmithCorrect!
19:20.34plarsenhe says he only sees [general] ?
19:20.53jsmithOK, it may be in one of the other files that starts with sip_
19:20.56jsmithsip_nat.conf
19:21.02jsmithsip_<something>.conf
19:21.18jsmithI'm not a big FreePBX user, so I don't remember exactly which file those get stuck in
19:21.26plarsenahh
19:23.09plarsensip_additional.conf  sip_custom.conf              sip_general_custom.conf  sip_registrations.conf
19:23.09plarsensip.conf             sip_custom_post.conf         sip_nat.conf             sip_registrations_custom.conf
19:23.09plarsensip.conf.0           sip_general_additional.conf  sip_notify.conf
19:23.13plarsenwhich one? :)
19:25.25plarsensip_additional has "call_limit=50"
19:27.16plarsenseems "sip_additional" lists all his extensions so the setting is per extension
19:30.48jsmithCorrect
19:31.26jsmithIt is per device
19:34.17plarsenHow does he reload without killing connections after changing the files?
19:34.28jsmith"sip reload" from the Asterisk CLI
19:34.40jsmithor 'asterisk -rx "sip reload"' from the Linux CLI
19:35.19plarsenIt's parsing ... :)
19:37.50plarsenout of curriosity - what does the (+)  indicate?
19:38.14plarsenHe's testing after changing per extension for a few numbers. Unable to figure out what "device name" to use for now.
19:42.28plarsenthanks for your help; hopefully this will work. Guess if he sends me a dump of the above *.conf files I can make an educated guess of what the device name is ;)
19:45.13plarsenjsmith, He says there's still a problem. The "sip_additional" already contained a call_limit=50 - he changed that to call_limit=99 for 3 extensions.  He then had an active call on one, did a intercom call to the busy number, and it put his active call on hold
19:55.55jsmithplarsen: It means "Add these settings to a device previously defined"
21:17.12plarsenThis sat is Fredlug day right?
21:17.22plarsenWell, at least Fredlug morning :)
