Has Anyone Got the SLA feature to work? I have been trying for months now to get this thing to work. My boss wants me to figure out how to get this to work because we have customers with key systems that parts are going bad and no ones making new parts. I have a sip trunk that is pointed to a metaswitch. I have two Aastra 57i's that i'm trying to get the line 1 and line 2 to light up when being used. All the examples i have read online use FXO's in the SLA.conf file for the trunk setting. I'm using SIP. This is the example i see
[line1]
type=trunk
device=Zap/1
I have a trunk named SIPtest, so should it be
[line1]
type=trunk
device=SIP/SIPtest
If anyone can help me it would be fantastic..

Usually, I give people crap for not using the search function on the forums, but this post is less than 15 posts below yours and is currently on the same forum page written by one of (from my pov) the most respected guys on these forums. If he can't get it to work, I doubt anyone could.

If you can wait a month or two sipX 4.2 will have Bridged Line Appearance which is pretty much exactly like SLA as used in older phone systems (except it's done on a shared extension basis, not a trunk basis, though you can configure the setup on audiocodes gateways to match lines to extension numbers):

My advice is to not muck around with SLA on Asterisk.

Just get a product that does SLA such as the Aastralink Pro 160. I know that it would be cool if Asterisk could do this properly. I have been waiting for years and pretty much gave up on the idea of the Asterisk developers getting serious about it so I have just accepted that fact.

I understand why it is not high on their list. There isn't much money to be made on the smaller stuff and there are lot's of commercial products that server that market very well already. The best potential market for Asterisk is in larger systems which generally don't use SLA so it makes sense for them to focus more on getting other things right.
