Rings once and only answers once

[kenflorian]

I need a little guidance on how to configure SIP connector

I am using latest version "out-of-the-box" with a working Asterix install. The only change I made was to sip_incoming.vb where I changed this line.
Dim answerRings as Integer = 99

The only functionality I want from SIP connector is to Announce the caller from the HS Phone book until the phone is answered (or it rings 99 times).

Right now the SIP hard phone rings once, then sip_incoming.vb calls sip_unknown which I don't think should be happening.

The second problem is that SIP connector only answers the first inbound call. In order for the connector to answer again I must go to the configuration screen and "resave" the configuration.

I'm running on the latest HS which has been running for a long time.

I missing something..just don't know what it is.

Thanks for any guidance.

Just remove the sipCall.Answer() line from the script, and out-of-the-box it should never answer the call, and announce callers every 5 seconds.

Then add the SIP Connector to an Asterisk hunt-group
Add your other SIP phones to the same hunt-group
Route the incoming calls to the hunt-group.
