===========================================================================
None yet - you will be welcome here :-)
(...and all the others that have been forgotten...) :-)
No support for Asterisk 1.0.x any more, you need at least
Asterisk 1.2.x
What is Q.SIG
=============
Q.SIG is an protocoll extension for ISDN.
It is mainly used on connecting PBXs of different PBX vendors, which allows
better interoperability.
As example there can be a name of an extension transferred between different
PBXs, which is with standard ISDN not possible.
These extensions will be transmitted as encoded facility information elements.
To use Q.SIG with asterisk, you'll need a card like Eicon DIVA Server
(BRI like PRI), which supports QSIG. Maybe others do also work, let me now.
The QSIG support includes:
==========================
- Name presentation on Call SETUP incoming like outgoing
Future Targets:
===============
- better name handling - there are still some case which are wrongly handled
- check code for buffer overflows
- Path Replacement
- CCBS
- AOC
- ...
How to use:
===========
simply enable Q.SIG with following line in your capi.conf interface:
qsig=on
Take care that you enable this only for interfaces, where the other end
understands the Q.SIG protocoll. If not, then these switches may reject the
entire call, because of wrong facility contents.
Later this will change to qsig=off or qsig=1..x where we can support some
pbx manufacturer specific operations.
