2005-11-20 16:15:33 +00:00
Permissions
===========
OpenPBX.org, by default, runs as the non-root user/group
openpbx/openpbx. You must make sure that the /dev/capi* device files
are readable by OpenPBX.org either by changing the ownership or the
permissions of the the device files or by running OpenPBX.org as root.
The Dial string
===============
Example: Dial(CAPI/g<group>/[<callerid>:]<destination>[/<params>])
Or: Dial(CAPI/contr<controller>/[<callerid>:]<destination>[/<params>])
Or: Dial(CAPI/<interface-name>/[<callerid>:]<destination>[/<params>])
'group' can be a value, comma separated list of values or a range
using '-'. The according interface is found by searching a match with
the 'group' specified in the capi.conf for each interface.
The optional <callerid> followed by an ':' can be used to set a callerid
for this dial() command, without changing the original channel's callerid.
'params' is an optional part to set special settings for this call.
The string consists of a list of characters with the following meaning:
'b' : early B3 always.
'B' : early B3 on successful calls only.
'd' : use the default caller id which is set by defaultcid= in capi.conf
'o' : use overlap sending of number.
(Useful if additional digits shall be send afterwards or together
with 'b' to get dialtone and then send the number, e.g. if otherwise
no progress tones are available)
2005-07-27 18:17:41 +00:00
If the <interface-name> is used in dialstring, be sure the name (specified
in capi.conf) does not start with 'contr' or 'g'.
CLIP/CLIR uses the calling presentation of the calling channel, which can
be modified using the SetCallerPres() application. Use
SetCallerPres(prohib_not_screened) for CLIR. That is why the msn= param in
capi.conf has been removed. The callerID is also taken from the calling channel.
2005-06-02 18:47:35 +00:00
CAPI command application
========================
chan_capi provides an additional Asterisk application
capicommand()
With this application, special capi commands and features can be used.
Call Deflection:
Forwards an unanswered call to another number.
Example:
exten => s,1,capicommand(deflect|12345678)
Fax receive:
Receive a fax using CAPI.
Example:
exten => s,1,capicommand(receivefax|/tmp/${UNIQUEID}|+49 6137 555123|Asterisk)
(more see below)
Enable/Disable echosquelch:
Enable or disable a very primitive echo suppressor.
Disable this before you start recording voicemail or your files may get choppy.
Example:
exten => s,1,capicommand(echosquelch|yes)
2005-08-14 14:57:04 +00:00
or
exten => s,1,capicommand(echosquelch|no)
Enable/Disable echocancel:
Enable or disable echo-cancel provided by CAPI driver/hardware.
You may need to disable echo-cancel when e.g. data/fax transmission handled
by non-CAPI application.
Example:
exten => s,1,capicommand(echocancel|yes)
or
exten => s,1,capicommand(echocancel|no)
2005-08-14 14:57:04 +00:00
Malicious Call Identification:
Report a call of malicious nature.
Example:
exten => s,1,capicommand(malicious)
Hold:
Puts an answered call on hold, this has nothing to do with asterisk's onhold
thingie (music et al).
An optional parameter is the name of the variable which shall be set with
the reference ID of the call on hold.
Example:
exten => s,1,capicommand(hold)
or
exten => s,1,capicommand(hold|MYHOLDVAR)
Holdtype:
Set the type of 'hold'. When Asterisk wants to put the call on hold, the specified method
will be used.
Example:
exten => s,1,capicommand(holdtype|local) ;no hold, Asterisk can play MOH
or
exten => s,1,capicommand(holdtype|hold) ;ISDN-HOLD
or
; not yet implemented
exten => s,1,capicommand(holdtype|notify) ;notify the peer only, Asterisk can play MOH
Retrieve:
Gets back the holded call. An optional parameter is the reference ID of the call
on hold.
Example:
exten => s,1,capicommand(retrieve)
or
exten => s,1,capicommand(retrieve|${MYHOLDVAR})
ECT:
Explicit call transfer of the call on hold (must put call on hold first!)
Example:
exten => s,1,capicommand(ect|${MYHOLDVAR})
or
[macro-capiect]
exten => s,1,capicommand(ect)
[default]
exten => s,1,capicommand(hold)
2005-09-16 12:38:16 +00:00
exten => s,2,Wait(1)
exten => s,3,Dial(CAPI/contr1/1234,60,M(capiect))
2005-06-02 18:47:35 +00:00
Using CLIR
==========
Use the SetCallerPres() application before you dial:
exten => _X.,1,SetCallerPres(prohib_not_screened)
exten => _X.,2,Dial(CAPI/contr1/${EXTEN})
2005-06-02 18:47:35 +00:00
Enjoying early B3 connects (inband call progress, tones and announcements)
==========================================================================
Early B3 is configurable in the dialstring parameters.
If you set a 'b', early B3 will always be used, also if the call fails,
because the number is unprovisioned, etc ...
If you set a 'B', early B3 will only be used on successful calls,
2005-06-07 04:26:12 +00:00
giving you ring indication,etc...
Don't use indications in the Dial command, your local exchange will do that for
you:
exten => _X.,1,Dial(CAPI/contr1/${EXTEN}/B,30)
2005-06-07 04:26:12 +00:00
(early B3 on success)
exten => _X.,1,Dial(CAPI/contr1/${EXTEN}/b,30)
2005-06-07 04:26:12 +00:00
(always early B3)
exten => _X.,1,Dial(CAPI/contr1/${EXTEN},30,r)
(no early B3, fake ring indication)
exten => _X.,1,Dial(CAPI/contr1/${EXTEN}/b,30,r)
2005-06-07 04:26:12 +00:00
(always early B3, fake indicatons if the exchange does not give us
indications)
exten => _X.,1,Dial(CAPI/contr1/${EXTEN}/B,30,r)
2005-06-07 04:26:12 +00:00
(early B3 on success, fake indicatons if the exchange does not give us
indications)
2005-06-02 18:47:35 +00:00
For normal PBX usage you would use the "b" option, always early B3.
Overlap sending (a.k.a. real dialtone)
======================================
2005-06-07 04:26:12 +00:00
When you dial an empty number, and have early B3 enabled, with:
Dial(CAPI/g1//b)
2005-06-07 04:26:12 +00:00
The channel will come up at once and give you the dialtone it gets from the
local exchange.
At this point the channel is like a legacy phone, now you can send DTMF digits
to dial.
2005-06-02 18:47:35 +00:00
Example context for incoming calls on MSN 12345678:
===================================================
[capi-in]
exten => 12345678,1,Dial(SIP/phone1)
exten => 12345678,2,Hangup
Short HOWTO of capicommand(receivefax|<filename>[|<stationid>|<headline>]):
==========================================================================
2005-06-07 04:26:12 +00:00
For those of you who have a CAPI card with an on-board DSP (like some Eicon and
DIVA Server), this patch allows you to receive faxes.
If you want to answer a channel in fax mode, use capicommand(receivefax|...)
instead of Answer()
2005-06-07 04:26:12 +00:00
If you use Answer(), you will be in voice mode. If the hardware DSP detects
fax tone, you can switch from voice to fax mode by calling capicommand(receivefax|...).
The parameter <filename> is mandatory and the parameters <stationid> and
<headline> are optional.
2006-05-27 12:52:28 +00:00
To enable fax tone detection and redirect to extension 'fax', use config variable
'faxdetect' in capi.conf.
Example of use :
line number 123, play something, if a fax tone is detected, handle it
line number 124, answer directly in fax mode
[incoming]
exten => 123,1,Answer()
exten => 123,2,BackGround(jpop)
exten => 124,1,Goto(handle_fax,s,1)
exten => fax,1,Goto(handle_fax,s,1)
[handle_fax]
exten => s,1,capicommand(receivefax|/tmp/${UNIQUEID}[|<stationid>|<headline>])
exten => s,2,Hangup()
exten => h,1,deadagi,fax.php // Run sfftobmp and mail it.
The output of capicommand(receivefax|...) is a SFF file.
Use sfftobmp to convert it.
2005-06-07 04:26:12 +00:00
With a DIVA Server, following features are provided:
- fax up to 33600
- high resolution
- Color Fax
- JPEG Compression is disabled (not tested yet)
2005-06-02 18:47:35 +00:00
2005-12-29 16:38:40 +00:00
After successful receive of a fax, the following variables will be set for that channel:
FAXRATE : The baud rate of the fax connection
FAXRESOLUTION : 0 = standard, 1 = high
FAXFORMAT : 0 = SFF
FAXPAGES : Number of pages received
FAXID : The ID of the remote fax maschine
2005-08-25 17:35:21 +00:00
CLI command "capi show channels"
================================
This CLI command shows detailed info on all CAPI channels.
Column description:
Line-Name : the name of the interface as defined in capi.conf
NTmode : is the line in NT mode instead fo TE mode
state : the state of the channel, like 'Conn', 'Disc', 'Dial', ...
i/o : incoming or outgoing line
bproto : protocol on CAPI ('fax', 'trans' or 'rtp')
isdnstate : a string which may consists of the following characters
* = PBX is active
G = Line-Interconnect (CAPI bridge) active
B = b-channel is up
b = b-channel is requested
P = Progress was signaled
H = this line is on hold
T = this line is in transfer (ECT) mode
S = SETUP[_ACK] was signaled
ton : type of number value
number : the caller-number and destination-number
2005-08-25 17:35:21 +00:00
Asterisk variables used/set by chan_capi
========================================
BCHANNELINFO
On incomming call, this variable is set with the B-channel information value:
'0' : B-channel is used (default)
'1' : D-channel is used (not implemented yet)
'2' : neither B nor D channel is used (e.g. call waiting)
Call-Waiting: an incoming call with BCHANNELINFO not '0' cannot be accepted.
Another connection must be dropped before accepting or use
capicommand(deflect|<number>) to initiate call deflection to another destination.
2005-08-25 17:35:21 +00:00
CALLEDTON
The 'type of number' value of the called number is saved in this variable on
incomming call.
_CALLERHOLDID
If a call is put on hold (ISDN-HOLD), the reference id is saved in this variable.
This variable is inherited as CALLERHOLDID to the dialed channel and will be used
if e.g. capicommand(ect) is used to transfer the held call.
CALLINGSUBADDRESS
If set on dial(), the calling subaddress will be set to the content.
CALLEDSUBADDRESS
If set on dial(), the called subaddress will be set to the content.
2005-08-25 17:35:21 +00:00
CONNECTEDNUMBER
Can be set before answering and if set, the content is used for
IE 'Connected Number' on answering.
FAXEXTEN
If chan_capi sends the call to extensions 'fax', the original extension number
is saved in this variable.
PRI_CAUSE
If set, this value will be used as hangup cause on hangup.
REDIRECTINGNUMBER
On incoming call, if the call was redirected to you by someone, the
number of the redirecting party is saved in this variable.
RDNIS is set as well.
2005-08-25 17:35:21 +00:00
REDIRECTREASON
If the incoming call was redirected to you, this variable is set
with the reason value.
