Any ideas?

outcall problem

I got it working using the admin user. try that. I know that's not the ideal, but try that to see if it works first.

outcall with contact syncing

were you able to get the outcall contacts to sync with outlook 2000/2002/2003? I got it working except for it won't integrate with my outlook contacts. so that when I get calls coming in, it's always unknown. Outlook Add contact form pops up to add, but seems that the syncing of contact between outlook and OUTCALL is not happening. any ideas?

thanks,
b

Yes restart each time. Here

Yes restart each time. Here are my two files (TrixBox/FreePBX stock):

manager.conf
=========
;
; Asterisk Call Management support
;
[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0

[admin]
secret = amp111
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

#include manager_additional.conf
#include manager_custom.conf

manager_custom.conf
==============
[phpconfig]
secret = php[onfig
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
read=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

That's all she wrote! Still no connect from OutCall "Connection to server couldn't be established! Details: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host."

Appreciate the feedback,

Appreciate the feedback, tried it (even rebooted the server instead of amportal restart) and still no joy.

Everything on the LAN inside the firewall. All other services of TB 1.2.3 with FreePBX v2.2.1 work great without exception. Use IAX trunks & extensions from the outside fine as well.

Other ideas?

Exactly my config, but

Exactly my config, but retyped to be sure. Still nothing ...

Can't imagine what is going on. Maybe OutCall isn't worth effort to begin with? Any better alternative?

Thanks Kerry.

Not sure of the issue going

Not sure of the issue going on with ya KsDev but it installed and worked fine over here - are you by chance blocking any ports (check with ssh open if it attempts connection and is denied)

On wondering if it is worth the effort - Take Uncle Wards U-rang and add steroids, then combine with outlook contact list.

Tried on a hand-load and a old 1.2.3 box - but on each I'm using current versions of asterisk,libpri and zap.

If on xp make sure firewall stuff is not jacking with it as well.

Best of luck

I resolved my issues.

I resolved my issues.

Seeing that my xp box has VMware and Sonicwall Virtual adapters installed, there was an issue of the outgoing traffic trying to use the Sonicwall adapter first. (did a netstat -a -n |find "IP_OF_PBX" and my requests were coming from a strange IP.. (SonicWall adapter))
After changing it to my Local Lan Adapter, low and behold Outcall works just fine.

All you other users check that your LAN adapter is first in the list...
Right click "my network places" select properties
click Advanced and Advanced settings.
In the bot at the top, move the local adapter to the top of the list...

It worked for me...

Now all I need is something just like it for the Mac!

Hey KerryG,

engjohn your fix worked for

engjohn your fix worked for me. We utilize the local loop back adaptor for cached network drives, once I put that last it kicked right in, thanks!!

Worked for me too.

The missing element was that I too have the Sonicwall Global VPN Client installed for use from time to time and the order of adapters was at issue.

So great safety tip for everyone -- check the order of your adapters if you want OutCall to work.

Additionally, the Outlook integration seems to work -- sort of. It always defaults to the first contact in it's combo box ... regardless of where OutCall is called from within Outlook (toolbar, context menu, even from a contact being selected, etc.). ALSO, it does not seem to load my entire contact list ... maybe only the uncategorized entries it would seem. BECAUSE of this, the inbound CallerID lookup is also incomplete as it's access to my Rolodex is incomplete.

On the positive, it seems to behave fairly quickly and efficiently -- even if a bit useless due to missing data.

I agree, it's a great little program! But i've yet to have it pull up a number from an outlook contact, doesn't seem to ever find anyone. Maybe it's a number formatting issue? Who do we contact about problems with this software?

Or...

we can modify it ourselves, as the application is open source now!

I downloaded the source and there is a VS solution file included so it's very easy to open, modify and recompile.
