Blind transfer on Cisco phones fails
« on: March 12, 2015, 07:40:51 AM »
Hi,

I've been trying Yate and FreeSentral as a possible replacement for our current Asterisk SIP server. Unfortunately I'm having trouble whilst testing compatibility with our Cisco SPA504G phones.

I use extension 1056 to call extension 1024. I answer the call and use the phone's blind transfer button to try transferring the call to extension 1052. When I select the blind xfer button on handset 1024, enter extension 1052 and press 'dial', it says the transfer failed and puts the call back on hold.

An extract from Yate's debug log show this:

With kind assistance from a few people in the #yate IRC channel, I have tried all kinds of things to figure out why this isn't working all without success :(

I've made sure to set a *98 trigger in the [transfer] subsection (to match the phone) in pbxassist.conf. I've set transfer=enable in ysipchan.conf. I changed the phone to send $OPTIONS messages instead of $NOTIFY messages because Yate said NOTIFY messages were not allowed despite adding NOTIFY=no to [methods] in ysipchan.conf.

Help or advice from anyone here please would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,
Lewis

Hi,
A possible failure reason may be call route failure.
Can you post a log with sniffer enabled?

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

Centurion_Dan helped with setting up the sniffer. Apparently the route fails because of a 'noauth' error. I'm not sure why that would happen though?

You have somewhere a rule setting error='noauth'.
Check it.

Oh right! I don't think I've created any rules yet though, everything should be using the default configuration for Yate / FreeSentral. Do you have any pointers for where I might find what is causing the 'noauth' problem please?

Look at the 'handlers' parameter when the message returns.
Except for javascript and regexroute the other modules listed there don't set the error parameter.
I assume these 2 modules are the suspects.
javascript means some script: try to start yate without loading it.
regexroute: add some output to debug it: you may use the echo function.

Thank you for your help!

I've checked javascript.conf, it only loads the default Eliza chat bot.

I've not made any changes to regexroute.conf, it has these defaults I think:

${address}^127\.0\.0\.=goto localhost
${username}.=goto localhost

[localhost]
; The following are for testing purposes
^99991001$=tone/dial
^99991002$=tone/busy
^99991003$=tone/ring
^99991004$=tone/specdial

According to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3515.txt the REFER message needs NOTIFY / subscription support in order to work. I believe by default this isn't available in Yate without a custom script or module to make it work. I'm beginning to wonder if fixing the 'noauth' error may not make a difference :s

Hi,
Can you post the entire regexroute.conf?
Unload the javascript module.

[$once]
; First-time only global variables initialization.

; Each line must be of the form:
;  varname=value


[$init]
; Reload time global variables initialization
; Each line must be of the form:
;  varname=value

[extra]
; This section allows installing handlers for any message name.
; Each line must be of the form:
;  message.name=priority[,[paramname][,context]]
; For each handler create a corresponding [context] or [message.name] section
;  in which implement handling for that specific message. If paramname is not
;  set you will need to match parameters explicitely or set a new match string.
; Examples:
;  engine.command=90
;  call.execute=120,callto
;  call.route=200,called,reroute


[contexts]
; This section is used by the prerouting handler to classify calls by the
;  caller name; each call is assigned an input context (only if none exists
;  already) that is used later in the routing stage
; Expressions are scanned from top to bottom; the first match returns the value
; Each line must be of the form:
;   regexp=context_name
; To match a message parameter you can use the format:
;   ${paramname}regexp=context_name
; Strings captured with the regular expression construct \(...\) can be
;  inserted in the context name using \1, \2, \3, ... while \0 holds the entire
;  matched regexp even if no capture was used
; Message parameters can be inserted in the context name using ${paramname}
;
; Example:
;^$=empty
;^00=international
;^0=longdistance
;.*=default


[default]
; Sections like this one are used by the routing handler to find the target
;  of calls by the called name
; The [default] context is special, it is used when no context has been set
;  otherwise you have to place the entries in a section with the same name
;  as the context
; Expressions are scanned from top to bottom; the first match returns the value
; Each line must be of the form:
;   regexp=target
; To match a message parameter you can use the format:
;   ${paramname}regexp=target
; To match a function possibly containing parameters you can use the format:
;   $(function,param...)regexp=target
; To act on non-matching expressions add a ^ at end of the regexp. In this
;  case the \0 ... \9 replacements will always be empty
;   regexp^=target
; Strings captured with the regular expression construct \(...\) can be
;  inserted in the target using \1, \2, \3, ...
; Message parameters can be inserted in the target using ${paramname}
; Functions can be inserted using $(function,param,param)
;
; First word of a matched target has a special meaning:
; if, and - make a new match using the rest of the line up to the = character
; or - alternative match using the rest of the line up to the = character
; return - returns immediately from the context without routing
; include, call - calls another context, returns at the next entry if the other
;   context did not return successfully
; jump, goto - jumps to another context, does not return to this context
; match - modify the matched string instead of specifying a target
; rename - changes the name of the message
; enqueue - puts a new message in the engine, parameters are taken from the
;   old message but placed in the new one
; dispatch - dispatches a new message in the engine waiting for it to return,
;   parameters are taken from the old message but placed in the new one
; echo - displays that line after making substitutions
; { - starts a block that ends on another line with }
; The @jump, @goto, @include and @call forms suppress warning if missing target
;
; It is possible to set message parameters by appending them as name=value
;  while separating them with semicolons (;)
; Placing just the parameter name without the =  sign will clear the parameter
; Using $name=value will instead change the global variable with that name.
; Similarily specifying just $name will clear the global variable
;
; Please note that the match string is not changed together with the message
;  parameter from which it was copied; for example in routing stage using
;  "match 123" and ";called=123" have different effects
;
; Example:
;   route the emergency 112 and 911 numbers to POTS, any channel on an E1,
;   force specific data format too
;^112$=zap/1-31; format=alaw
;^911$=zap/1-31; format=mulaw
;   route international calls over SIP, replace caller name
;^00\(.*\)$=sip/sip:\1@international.gateway ; callername = International call
;   route value added services over IAX, trailing part is sent as IAX extension
;^09\(.*\)$=iax/vap@gateway.for.vap/\1
;   route green calls over IAX with 2 digits used to form an user name,
;   remaining digits are sent as extension
;^08\(..\)\(.*\)$=iax/green-\1@gateway.for.green/\2
;   everything else starting with 0 is routed over H.323
;^0\(.*\)$=h323/\1@long.distance.gateway
;   route short 3digit numbers to SIP using a DNS scheme 123 -> 3.2.1.domain
;^\(.\)\(.\)\(.\)$=sip/sip:\0@\3.\2.\1.domain
;   route only calls from SIP starting with 123 to a H.323 gateway
;${id}^sip/=if ^123.*$=h323/\0@provider.gw
;   is there anything else left? they go on E1 but only 15 channels can be used
;   we also make sure the number is at least 4 characters long
;   and we set a national caller dialplan
;.....*=zap/1-15 ; callerplan = national

I can't find the parameter values set in call.route (like 'pbxparams') anywhere in yate code.
Can you tell me what version are you using?

Thank you again for your help. The package system for the box I'm testing on installed version 5.4.0

I don't know what to say!
Try not to load modules listed in handlers parameters of call.route (except for sip) and see what happens.

To not load the modules set in yate.conf:

[modules]
regexroute.yate=no
javascript.yate=no
cdrbuild.yate=no
fileinfo.yate=no
subscription.yate=no

Make a transfer. Check it.
If it works load the modules one by one and retry.

I deactivated all those modules and restarted Yate.

I tested a normal blind transfer by pressing *98, the destination extension, and then * again. This worked fine.

I tried to do it using the phone's blind transfer service button. This failed as it usually does.

Thanks again!
