Asterisk PBX Integration Zimlet for ZCS 6

[jimbo]

I've followed the instructions at the top of this thread and deployed the zimlet per the INSTALL.txt but

I keep getting "hostname cannot be null" in the mailboxd.log file.

I've modified the hostname in the ch_bnc_asterisk_config.xml file before running:

zmzimletctl configure /tmp/ch_bnc_asterisk_config.xml

Then after restarting zimbra and logging the Zimbra client off. It still doesn't appear that ZCS 6.01 is using the proper config directive values.

Any ideas what I need to do to force the zimlet to accept the configuration?

Have you put fqdn or host ip address? Only worked for me using fqdn

[jimbo]

I used a fqn, however it appears that none of the other config directives are set either. It complains that the asterisk management port is null as well and says it will use 5038. I've set the port number in the directive as 5038 so it should not complain that it is null.

So I'm thinking it's not reconfiguring the zimlet when I run the zmzimletctl configure command.

[typiquement]

can you show the ch_bnc_asterisk_config.xml file ?

Thanks for helping with this, much appreciated!

Here's the contents of my config file:

did you change something in this part ?

<host name="mail.mydomain.com">
<property name="astManagerIp">pbx.mydomain.com</property>
<property name="astManagerPort">5038</property>
<property name="astManagerUser">zimbra</property>
<property name="astManagerSecret">mysecretpassword</property>

[jimbo]

Yes, I changed them to reflect my environment settings...
hostname points to my Zimbra mail server domain
astManagerIP points to my Asterisk server
astManagerUser points to the user I setup in Asterisk for connecting
astManagerSecret is the password I setup for the Asterisk user

The values in my previous post are bogus as I did not want to post them in a public forum.

[typiquement]

what about the asterisk server configuration ?

Can you show these files: manager.conf, sip.conf and extensions.conf

is it the same context used in these files and in your *.xml file ?

[bluefisher80]

First I follow this The five minute Asterisk setup and VoIP intro - Roboguys.com - Where sh#! tends to happen.
to setup to user admin & user2.
and I can use "admin" to dial 9999 using X-Lite client.
But I can not call through the zimlet.
The CLI error message is :
chan_sip.c 4940 create_addr: No such host: 123456.
In that error, 123456 is the phone number for admin.

Please helps, thanks.

the zimlet uses the manager.conf. You have to enable and configurate it.


example:

[general]
enabled = yes

port = 5038


bindaddr = server IP address

allowmultiplelogin = yes ; IF set to no, rejects manager logins that are already in use.

[admin]
secret = mysecret
;deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit= network class (ex: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0)

displayconnects = yes ; Display on CLI user login/logoff

read = all
write = all
