Background / Timeout extension (this should really work!) 1

[nauliv]

Hello All,


Maybe it's because it's 1AM... I can't have the "t" extension work with Background()...

The particular context is super simple:

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

[mainmenu]
exten => s,1,ResponseTimeout(3)
exten => s,2,Background(mainmenu)

exten => t,1,Playback(invalid)
exten => t,2,Goto(mainmenu,s,1)

exten => 2,1,Goto(contact,s,1)

exten => 3,1,Goto(hoursdir,s,1)

exten => _1ZZ,1,SayDigits(${EXTEN})
exten => _1ZZ,n,Goto(s,1)

exten => i,1,Playback(invalid)
exten => i,2,Goto(s,1)

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

When dialing the number, i hear the main menu playback,
all options work fine.. But if i don't enter any option,
the call is being hanged up, and asterisk consoles
indicates:
-- Playing 'mainmenu' (language 'en')
== Auto fallthrough, channel 'Zap/1-1' status is 'UNKNOWN'
-- Hungup 'Zap/1-1'

I really can't see why the "t" extension doesn't work...
Tried with/without ReponseTimeout().. no luck.
This is Asterisk 1.2.12

Thanks much !

Try starting this part of the dialplan with:

exten=> s,1,Answer()

and then reply on the default 10 second timeout to see if this works. You can tweak the timeout after you have established that it works.

Victor, Lee,


Still the exact same problem, even including this:
exten=> s,1,Answer()
exten=> t,1,Answer()


I still don't get what the problem can be....

Have a look in your extensions.conf file. If autofallthrough=yes in there then set it to "no" otherwise Asterisk will ignore the t extension and fall through the the h extension instead.
