HI,

I'm newbie in FS, I want to know how to implement h extension of asterisk to FS. As I listed down below;

h =>
    {
        NOOP("Call Completed with Carrier ${CARRIER}");
        goto add_cdr|h|1;
    };

My other question is, which application/function/class is use in mod_perl to check the channel status? i.e. busy, answer,hangup,ringing,etc.

Kindly advice me soon.

You should be able to handle hangups in one of two ways:1) Register a hangup handler in your script or dialplan. This will execute a script on the hangup of the call.
2) Use the Event Socket Layer(ESL) to listen to hangup events and then perform your actions there.


You can find more about these options in the wiki.

Try to explain a little bit better what add_cdr does right here. Unlike Asterisk, FreeSWITCH do have lots on information on CDR and it feels like you are trying to do things on the wrong place.

If you want to understand where I am going with this, take a look at this example XML CDR that can be posted by FreeSWITCH to a webserver at the end of a call: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Example_XML_cdr

If you are just doing CDR processing the easiest ways are using the event socket to trigger this on the hangup event and you will get all the data you want or use mod_xml_cdr which will either drop a file or fire a web request. You can use either of these methods to trigger a billing update From: Michael Collins <msc@freeswitch.org> Reply-To: <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:55:02 -0700 To: <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Implementing h extension in FS On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 10:16 PM, Ahmed Munir <ahmedmunir007@gmail.com> wrote: HI, I'm newbie in FS, I want to know how to implement h extension of asterisk to FS.

It sounds like you are working on CDR processing. Please tell us more about your application and we'll do our best to offer advice. -MC _______________________________________________ FreeSWITCH-users mailing list FreeSWITCH-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org

Here you have an example of how to get the CDR vars from the hangup event and send it to the db.

There will NEVER be an easy way to do billing inline and we never
support such crazy because its WRONG. That said... You're not the
first to approach FreeSWITCH with an Asterisk mentality.

Billing inline = NO
Billing direct to DB = NO
Post Processing = YES, do this.
Nibble/Heartbeat billing via event socket = YES, (this is rather
powerful if you take the time to learn it.)

The above is just my advice...

PS: see mod_nibblebill

Thanks for reply, well actually I'm doing billing after call hangup. If h extension is interupts I'm sending to it to addcdr context which interupts perl script for billing purpose. As I'm listing down below asterisk configuration;

h =>
    {
        NOOP("Call Completed with Carrier ${CARRIER}");
        goto add_cdr|h|1;
    };

context add_cdr
{
    _X. =>
    {
        Hangup();
    };
    h =>
    {
        Set(CALL_END_TIME=${EPOCH});
        //&print_variables();
        NOOP("Call Ended: Card:${CARDNUM} Destination:${CALLEDNUM} Caller-ID:${CALLERID(num)}");
        if (${DIALEXECUTED}=YES)
        {
            NOOP("Dial-Status:${DIALSTATUS}");
        }else
        {
            NOOP("Dial was not Executed");
        };
        DeadAGI(/vopium/agi/billing.pl);
        NOOP();
    };

};

Kindly advice me how I pass/translate h extension in FS in this situation i.e. <action application="api_hangup_hook" data="addcdr 1"/> or there is other way around???

No you should never be doing your billing inline like this. You
should be doing this externally of your application not inside your
dialplan.

FreeSWITCH is driven by a state machine and execute and hangup are opposing states so once you change to hangup state that is the end of executing extensions.

asterisk has 4 special extensions s h i and t  we don't support any of them because our dialplan concept and paradigm is completely different.



There is a feature in FS called api_hangup_hook which is a variable you can set to a desired script to execute when the call hangs up.
you should be able to find it on the wiki

You could create a daemon like this that listens for the CHANNEL_HANGUP_COMPLETE event and send your CDR to the db.

http://fisheye.freeswitch.org/browse/FreeSWITCH/contrib/diegoviola/ruby/callcard/cdr.rb

Then do the billing stuff outside FreeSWITCH or use mod_nibblebill.

I suggest also that you enable mod_xml_cdr or mod_cdr_csv so you always have a copy of the CDR on disk in case if something fails (like the db).
