I already wrote this in the "forum" section here, but can't be
wrong to answer you here as well, in case you don't check
there:
'd be interested in hearing some specifics on setting up
AstTapi for incoming calls. I'm a bit confused as to how to
configure the 'Incoming Chan' field (is it the same as the user
channel?) and how I might use the regex expressions (if I
need to do so).
I've tried using it with both the WindowsXP Dialer and
IdentaPop Pro to no avail. The IdentaPop pro has a Tapi
debugger and i saw good response when dailing with Tapi,
but no response from incoming calls. AstTapi doesn't seem
to have problems logging into the manager and parsing data,
but nothing is triggering it when dialing the users extension.
I've been struggling with the inbound calls with AstTapi and
IdentaPop Pro ( http://www.identafone.com/cidpop.html ) for
over a week - unfortunately there were no hints how to set
this up anywhere on the AstTapi side - the IdentaPop Pro
side was easy, so I googled a lot and found a lot of people
asking how to do this, but no one ever had a solution or
explained how they did it.
So this is how I did it, I used the same for "inbound channel"
as for "user channel", in my case it is extension 4317978 that
is dialed on each inbound call (to my Sipura-2000) as well as
used for all outbound calls. So I put "SIP/4317978" as "User
Channel" and the same "SIP/4317978" as "Inbound Channel"
in the AstTapi setup.
This wasn't working for some reason though, the popup
wasn't working and IdentaPop Pro log never showed anything
and I was near to giving up, when I finally thought of the
reason: since my Sipura-2000 is behind a router and my
Asterisk is running on a server hosted at a providers side, I
had to add portforwarding for port 5038 (port used for the
manager api) for the signalling to go back through to my PC
to signal the call ! Duh !
After I had set up the portforwarding all went well and I can
only recommend this nice piece of software by
Identafone.com , without it you can't get the popups, with
AstTapi alone it won't work.
Oh and one more thing, you don't need to check "reg
expression" checkbox, if you use SIP calls like me.
Hope this helps someone being in the same situation. Feel
free to contact me, if I was unclear with anything.
