Trixbox 2.8 + Queue + Static Agents
Submitted by th3M on Tue, 08/25/2009 - 2:24pm.
Hi Everyone,
I've looked all over the site and on Google so I apologize if I've missed a post with my answer.
My setup:
Trixbox 2.8 with 3 static agents in a helpdesk-style support queue. We migrated our system from TB 2.6.x (old box still exists, just sitting gathering dust.) this past summer and now that staff are coming back for the fall, we re-instated our helpdesk queue with a ring-all ring strategy. To my surprise, having a queue with more than 1 static agent doesn't ring anyone's phone, however with just 1 static agent, it works fine; having the other agents as a dynamic doesn't resolve the issue either.
All my handsets are registered properly, and I can make an extension to extension calls no problem. One thing I have discovered is that with the ring strategy changed to round robin or least called, it seems to work just fine, but I want all handsets to ring, not just a round robin or least called.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I've just got one operator running right now, but next week we'll need all three. Thanks for your input!

It seems the big difference between the two logs is this:

-- SIP/1098-097760b8 is ringing
-- Local/1098@from-internal-f87f;1 is ringing
-- Stopped music on hold on SIP/1099-b69dc598
As it shows that it's ringing the extension...
Thanks again for any insight in helping me.

I remember reading a while ago when TB 2.8 came out, someone had your exact issue, but it was never resolved while I was watching that thread. It was dubbed a bug. I have been looking for it all over and can't find the darn thing. Someone else may be able to provide more information on it.
 
Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply antidelldude.
Anyone else have any further insight or on a potential fix? I'm going to have to revert back to my previous installation if I can't get this resolved; which is too bad, I was really looking forward to playing with Exchange UM integration; something our workplace would love to get into.

did anyone find a fix/solution to this ?
I have the same problem...
in fact, I wonder who/what is responsible for the dialparties.agi script. it might be the problem.
does it come with Asterisk or the GUI (FreePBX) ?

I had this problem but found it went away if I included an Announcement, so I just have a very short blank announcement.

I found in FreePBX forum that these type of issues are solved by replacing
"$astman = new AGI_AsteriskManager( );" in dialparties.agi
with
"$astman = $AGI->new_AsteriskManager();"
I am now trying this solution. Seems better...

or place the static agents in a ring group?

Hey guys, thanks for the updated posts. I knew I wasn't the only one out there.
I never did get this fixed, and our production box had to be rolled back to 2.6 due to time constraints. I'll spool up a VM box and see if this is fixed with the dialparties.agi fix.
Thanks guys!

Hi all,
I tried the agi script modification above but had the same effect.

Hi !
I've got the same problem with queues.
trixbox 2.8.0.2.
Dynamic agents don't work at all. Static agents work only with a ring-all ring strategy.
WBR,
Vitalich
 
I just installed 2.8.0.3

I just installed 2.8.0.3 yesterday, having this problem. If ring all is not selected, then no calls are placed from the queue... Has anyone found a resolution for this?
Thanks,
Austin Speer
