Ahh it turns out fibre provider wont reprovision all the ATA’s to use OOB so I am going to have to give this a go..

Endpoint 1 = Gate controller = only accepts OOB

Endpoint 2 = Standard analogue phone on ATA = only generates inband

Person uses endpoint 1 to call resident who needs to dial code to open gate so start_dtmf has to work from endpoint 2 to endpoint 1 when it is endpoint 1 that calls endpoint 2.

I’ll test it out and let you know the results!

P.S. I love freeswitch and the work you guys have done, I have never seen such a flexible simple software that is still so complex there is a way to do anything you can imagine is possible!

you put start_dtmf in the execute_on_answer variable to run it on the other leg.

Hi Nathan,

Yes, start_dtmf is one-directional as far as I am aware, that is, it only works on the sending stream of the channel on which it is set. BTW, I'm glad you got it figured out!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the response, it worked in the opposite direction, the gate controller (OOB) calls phones (Inband) kind of like the door thing on an apartment block. Start_dtmf worked if I called the gate controller from the phones, but not in the other direction which is how it will be used.

It has been resolved as it was discovered the ATA devices inbuilt to the fibre ONT have an option for OOB DTMF, enabling this on the POTS profile allowed the device to function.

I am still interested on how I could of got it to work though, is start_dtmf a one directional app?

Thanks,

Nathan

Can you show us the dialplan for sending a call to the gate controller? Also, pastebin the console debug output for a call to the gate controller where you press digits but the controller doesn't respond.

Thanks,

Hi list,

I have a gate controller that only understands RFC 2833 but it calls endpoints that can only provide inband DTMF, I can’t seem to get the digits recognised by the gate controller to trigger the relay using start_dtmf_generate, as they are coming back to the a-leg? Rather than out the b-leg.. It works fine when I call a SPA502g as it will provide RFC 2833.. is there some trickery I can achieve this? Or am I just doing it wrong?? J
