If I missed out the async mode from the dial plan I am not able to get the events from it. Here is my Perl script. # Create a conenction with Event socket library. my $conn = new ESL::ESLconnection($fd); # Getting the connection informations and values of the variables. my $info = $conn->getInfo(); # Getting the caller id and print the statement. my $caller_id =$info->getHeader("caller-caller-id-number"); printf "Connected from %s\n", $caller_id; # Receive the events from only in this switch. $conn->sendRecv("myevents"); # Answer the call. $conn->execute("answer"); # playback the welcome message. $conn->execute("playback",$sound_path."ivr/ivr-welcome_to_freeswitch.wav"); $conn->execute("playback",$sound_path."ivr/ivr-this_ivr_will_let_you_test_features.wav"); $conn->execute("playback",$sound_path."ivr/ivr-you_may_exit_by_hanging_up.wav"); $conn->execute("sleep", "1000"); # Until the connection get disconnected while($conn->connected()){ # Receive the event my $event = $conn->recvEvent(); # Check the event is received if($event){ # Get the event name and print it. my $name = $event->getHeader("event-name"); print "EVENT:[$name]\n"; # If the event name is DTMF then print the enterted digit. if($name eq 'DTMF'){ my $digit = $event->getHeader("dtmf-digit"); my $duration = $event->getHeader("dtmf-duration"); # And duration. print "DTMF digit $digit ($duration)\n"; } } } If I specified data field in the dial plan as <127.0.0.1:5000 full> All the voice files are played in order.But I am not able to get the EVENTS in the while loop. If I specified data field in the dial plan as <127.0.0.1:5000 async full>.The voice files are not played in order.But I am able to get the events in the while loop. I need to receive EVENS.Then I check the event name if it is DTMF based on the DTMF input I processed that option. In the case of $conn->setEventLock("true") , where can I reset this value to false. Please Help Me....... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Thangappan.M <thangappan143@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 12:42 PM Subject: IVR Problem To: freeswitch-users <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Dear all, I am in the process of implementing an IVR using event outbound socket. In the dial plan I used the following statement. <action application="socket" data="127.0.0.1:5000 async full"/> I implemented a Perl script which is listening on the dial plan specified IP address and PORT ( In this case 127.0.0.1 and 5000). Whenever the caller is calling 5000 I executed the above dial plan. Before dialing to the number I executed the Perl script. In my Perl script, first I did the following steps. * Accepting the client connection * Fork a process * Connect with Event Socket Library * Finally send and receive the events to that channel. In the sending part, at first I am sending ($conn->sendRecv("myevents") ) myevents to the freeswitch.It means receive the events from this channel only. I answer for that call ( $conn->execute("answer") ) Then I play back three files as $conn->execute("playback",$sound_path."ivr/ivr-welcome_to_freeswitch.wav"); $conn->execute("playback",$sound_path."ivr/ivr-this_ivr_will_let_you_test_features.wav"); $conn->execute("playback",$sound_path."ivr/ivr-you_may_exit_by_hanging_up.wav"); Here the sound path is /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/callie/ But it is not play backed the sound in order. Why? I know that it is a problem in mode(async, full). Can you please clarify these two keywords? I have studied from the wiki page. But I was not able to get it. I also specified the lock mode after every play back as $conn->SetEventBlock("true"); But is not working. Could you please solve this issue? -- Regards, Thangappan.M -- Regards, Thangappan.M
