[*] Asterisk-Cisco call manager problem !

[samir patel]

Hi everybody,

This is my first E-mail to Asterisk community.

(1)How can we connect Asterisk with the Cisco Call Manager.?

In asterisk extensions.conf we have to provide username and password of the 
service provider but here in my case my asterisk server is connected with 
the cisco call manager and CCM takes only mac address my asterisk server, 
and CCM is later on connected with the service provider.

I have taken following as my Master degree project:
Project:
“Our system needs to dial 4 phone numbers in parallel and record the result 
of the calls. It needs to be able to detect whether a call status is busy, 
voice mail, no answer, or live answer. This result would be stored in a 
database along with the timestamp of the call.

Our system will be required to place 150 calls in succession and record the 
results, that are it will dial the 4 phone numbers in parallel, record the 
results, dial the 4 phone numbers again, record the results etc. up to 150 
times.”

(2)Can I use VICIDial (Predictive dialer) for my project or I will have to 
write a script for that ?

Sip phone(Source)<->Asterisk server<->Cisco switch<->CCM(Cisco call 
manager)<->Server<-> Service Provider(Bell/Telus)<->Sip phone(Destination)

I can make calls from sip phone to asterisk server but not to outside world.

Thanking you,

Cheers,
Samir.
