It looks like the issue with Java installation on your Elastix server.

Did you try with Visual Dialplan Professional?
It installs on your desktop and comes with java.

Can be downloaded from http://www.apstel.com(external link) for free.

Adam,

Thanks. I’ll get in touch with support. I guess I need my old PC to get the registration code from. I’ll have to boot it up and see if I can get into it still.

Kevin,

It’s not a different server that I am connecting to. It’s a different PC I will be running VDP on. The server address will remain the same.

Lee,
Unregister the current server from within VDP and you should then be able to register to the new machine. VDP only allows more than one server connection if the license purchased allows for it. Let me know how you make out.

You will need the Apstel support to transfer the license.
Write to support at apstel dot com with your registration code information and they will free your license for transfer.

in reply to: Asterisk 11.x LTS #6089 |

I did it and it worked just fine, but my dial plan is fairly simple (modified single select DB sample with IVR).
Anyway, before doing this I checked Asterisk change log and figured out that most of the standard dial plan functions I use did not change.
Not sure how it will work for you.
I guess you should try it and let us know how it worked ;).

Bob,
Elastix is fine depending on if you need all of the additional applications that come with it. It is still basically a customized asterisk/freepbx integration, one of many out there. 🙂 I personally use the PBX In a Flash distro which I’ve found to be quite stable over the last 4 or so years I’ve been using it. You can find more information here: http://nerdvittles.com/(external link) NOTE! Do NOT download and install any distros using higher than Asterisk 1.8 or you may run into problems as that is currently the latest version VDP supports, and asterisk has been known to change/break some things during version upgrades, so something that works in 1.8 may break if you try to run it on 1.10 or 1.11, etc. You’ve been warned! 😉

If its doable, then I’m good 🙂 I have a background in computing, so this should be no more or less impossible than the other impossible tasks I have undertaken in the past 🙂

That said, if you have some “breadcrumbs” that I can use to start going down this path, I would definitely appreciate it! I am in the process of ordering VDP, so I can get the ball rolling quickly 🙂

The initial platform is Elastix, since it has a lot of the features we are looking for, but we are far from married to it. Would you consider this to be a good platform to work off of? If not, alternates are appreciated!

Thanks!

Bob

Orcus,
Yes this is certainly doable, however if you are new to Asterisk and dialplan programming there are going to be 2 heavy learning curves now, both Asterisk and using Visual Dialplan to create what you want. Which is a pretty sizable undertaking your first time out! 😉

in reply to: Small questions about variable #6081 |

Hi Alx,

You can use Set component (Variable sheet) and function STRFTIME() with no arguments, which will return the current time.

Hope it helps. 🙂

in reply to: Installation Visual Dial Plan on Centos #6079 |

I may be wrong, but I don’t think you can install it under Linux with no GUI as it is a VISUAL tool. It is not accessed through a web browser. The only part that can be installed on a linux CLI is the Integration Server product which doesn’t require a gui and can be managed through a web browser. But the actual designer requires a gui.

in reply to: Confirm calls with the dial function #6077 |

Try with M(x) options of Dial block (it executes the macro (x) upon connect of the call, i.e. when the called party answers) or with U(x) (executes routine x on the called channel via gosub – similar to M but a do a gosub rather than a macro).
In both cases you have exit variable (MACRO_RESULT in case of M(x)) to define what you want to do with the call – bridge it or do somethine elase (dial again in your case if the voicemail answers the call).

The other option is to do dial multiple channels partially deplayed.
Something like this:
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/200&SIP/201&LOCAL/100)
and
exten => 100,1,Wait(xx)
exten => 100,2,Dial(SIP/300)
Extensions sip 200 and sip 201 will ring immediatelly while extension sip 300 will ring after xx seconds.

Here is URL where you can find more information about this:

Hi there,

> How can I write the enter information to the integrated database and
> automatically exported/email out to a designated email? Please advise.

That shouldn’t be a problem if you use VDP.
If you open single select database sample that comes with VDP you will already have a connection to the IS integrated database, so just go to IS view and star creating tables (create table …).
When you are satisfied with created tables start modifying single select sample to read user input and inset collected data into created tables.
And use sendEmail to send that data to designated email address.
