Cannot Make Outbound Call

Postby albertgacute » Fri Dec 21, 2018 3:14 am

Hello everyone,

I am new to Vicidial, and currently trying to set up a new one. I have used the vicibox server and was able to install it but in a problem right now regarding the calls. There seem no ring or activity when doing manual dial

the first problem we have was the no conference error but we have fixed that by adding the some ports needed on the firewall. but now that we have logged in on agent, we are experiencing this error after hearing the Ring and Conference notice on the agent interface

Please see below information

Your logs clearly shows, no rtp traffic on the call established. So it is clear you have some kind of firewall issue, rtp ports by default are 10K-20K UDP

I dont see any call atttemp on your logs

Re: Cannot Make Outbound Call

1) Welcome to the Party! 8-)

2) As you are obviously new here, I have some suggestions to help us all help you:

When you post, please post your entire configuration including (but not limited to) your installation method (7.X.X?) and vicidial version with build (VERSION: 2.X-XXXx ... BUILD: #####-####).

This IS a requirement for posting along with reading the stickies (at the top of each forum) and the manager's manual (available on EFLO.net, both free and paid versions)

You should also post: Asterisk version, telephony hardware (model number is helpful here), cluster information if you have one, and whether any other software is installed in the box. If your installation method is "manual/from scratch" you must post your operating system with version (and the .iso version from which you installed your original operating system) plus a link to the installation instructions you used. If your installation is "Hosted" list the site name of the host.

If this is a "Cloud" or "Virtual" server, please note the technology involved along with the version of that techology (ie: VMware Server Version 2.0.2). If it is not, merely stating the Motherboard model # and CPU would be helpful.

Similar to This:

Vicibox X.X from .iso | Vicidial X.X.X-XXX Build XXXXXX-XXXX | Asterisk X.X.X | Single Server | No Digium/Sangoma Hardware | No Extra Software After Installation | Intel DG35EC | Core2Quad Q6600

3) Do not post entire configuration files. If you believe information in them is pertinent, posting any entries you changed is good (but in most cases you should not be editing .conf files anyway so it's usually better to not change them thus there's no need to post them because they are the same on every server).

4) If you are setting up your first server, please do not attempt to invent your own method to do so. Especially if you know asterisk or linux. Remember that this software was designed for use by those who have virtually no experience at all in addition to the fact that Vicidial appears to break many of the rules of asterisk by design (upon deeper inspection, those rules aren't broken, just modified in unusual ways ... which is why Vicidial works and is the only autodialer out here in the linux world!).

5) Directly to your problem: If you dial in asterisk (with or without Vicidial) and your dialed number does not match a dial pattern, it's not unusual for there to be NO activity in the asterisk command line as a result (unless you turn on deep debugging). A solution to this would be to create a Vicidial Carrier (admin->carriers) with the following entry in "Dialplan Entry"
Code: Select all
exten=> s,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten=> s,n,NoOp(No Dial Pattern Matches This Extension)
exten=> s,n,Hangup

with nothing in the account entry or globals string. Be sure it's active and assigned to the proper server IP (or 0.0.0.0 so it's on all servers). This will match all numbers dialed after any other attempts to match a dial pattern fail, and give you something resembling, at the very least, "That didn't work as planned."

Given the odds, you are dialing someting like 915555555555 but you have a dialplan extension that doesn't fit this pattern. The "9" usually comes from the Campaign Dial Prefix (or you have to manually dial it if not in a campaign). The "1" is for domestic long distance US dialing. The rest is the 10 digit us phone number (pattern NXXNXXXXXX). The dialplan entry for this usually looks similar to this:
Code: Select all
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,n,Dial(${CARRIERVARIABLE}/${EXTEN:1},,tTor)
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,n,Hangup

with a globals string something like
Code: Select all
CARRIERVARIABLE=SIP/carriername

with protocol SIP and an account entry like
Code: Select all
[carriername]
host=xx.xx.xx.xx
context=trunkinbound
type=friend
dtmfmode=rfc2833
canreinvite=no
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
port=5060


6) Your best bet would be to start at page one of the Vicidial Manager's manual and do not skip anything. You'll either have a fully functional system when you get to the end or you'll bump into a problem create a post here as you did this time. Only next time: post your page/line/version of the manual, what you expected to happen and what really happened, along with any configuration settings specific to this issue and even relevant log output from one instance. Not 3000 lines of unrelated code. Not the full text of various stock configuration files. lol

Happy Hunting! 8-)

Hi William,

thank you. I cannot seem to download for now the full version, so does downloading the free one helps me do this at least?

Yes: The Free version of the Vicidial Manager's Manual has everything you need for a fully functional dialer. The paid version has 200 extra pages of in-depth instructions for deeper, more complex functions and long-term maintenance. But the free one is perfect for beginners.

Note that there is no "catch-all" instruction set to connect to a carrier, since there are no rules.
