Hi, I am receiving the inbound call and i am bridging that call with some other number. But i need to know whether the bridged call (dial out call) has been ringing or answering. I am using the ESL connection method to communicate with the Freeswitch. Here is the snapshot of my code. Receiving inbound call : @sd = s @con = ESL::ESLconnection.new(s.to_i) @con.execute("linger") @con.setEventLock("true") @con.sendRecv("myevents") @con.execute("answer") ... .... After that i am playing and receiving input from the caller then i am bridging the call with some other number. Bridge Call: @con.execute("bridge", "sofia/gateway/junctionnetworks//#{@destination_number}") and waiting for the bridge event WaitForBridgeEvent: def waitForBridge while @con.connected e = @con.recvEvent() next if e == nil printEventData(e) handleHangup if hangupOccurred(e) if e.getHeader("Event-Name") == "CHANNEL_BRIDGE" && e.getHeader("Channel-State") == "CS_EXECUTE" answer_state = e.getHeader("Answer-State") if answer_state == "answered" call_answer_time = e.getHeader("answered_time") end_point_disp = e.getHeader("endpoint_disposition") var_end_point_disp = e.getHeader("var_endpoint_dispoisition") return call_answer_time, end_point_disp, var_end_point_disp end end end end In this code the answer_state is always returning the answered. Also there is always no value for call_answer_time, end_point_disp, var_end_point_disp. Bridging is happening and i have no problem with bridging the call. Please let me know whether the answer-state is returned in this case is for the inbound call or outbound call. (because i am wondering how it is always answered?). Also please help me to get the bridged call status (whether answered, ringing or others) Thanks and Regards, Thirupathi
