    Net CallerID Reads but doesn't speak.

    Approximately 50% of the time a call comes in, my HS installation doesn't speak the caller ID info. I see the entry in the HS log from the WAF-NetCallerID listing the CID info but no speaky?
    Any ideas as to why?

    Thank you.

    Do you have the HS speaker app running? If so are there any errors listed in the speaker app?

      Hello Rupp, thank you for responding.
      The speaker app is running but there are no errors listed in its log. I see an entry in the HS log at 8:55 of the incoming call CID info and no corresponding entry in the speaker app log. I know the speaker app is working because at 09:00 my Big Ben chimes script ran and sounded just fine.

        How are you using the WAFNetCID plugin?

        Are you using the script that came with the plugin or are you just dumping the data to HSP?

        Is there nobody else on the baseship that can help you?

            Hello Bill, thanks for the response.
            I am just using the WAFNetCID straight out of the box with its included script. No HSP in use at all - yet anyway.

              Post your script as an attachment in this thread and I'll add some code so we can debug this.

              If you have personal phone numbers built into your script then PM me and I'll give you my email address and you can shoot it to me directly if you prefer.

              Talk to you soon, Bill

                Late yes I know but if you can help here is the files you requested:

                Also, the contents of my WAF-NetCallerID.ini file is:

                [Settings]
                InstallDone=True
                i_com_port=6
                i_com_port_resource=6
                i_hsp_installed=0
                i_hs_announces_caller=1
                s_cid_prefix=Attention, Call From
                i_call_external_script=0

                  OK, looks like the problem is you are:
                  A) Not using HSP.
                  B) You are not calling an external script to do the speaking. i_call_external_script=0

                  You have in your script library something called: WAF-NetCallerID-Sample-CID-Processing.vbs

                  You need one or the other.
                  Try dumping the following into your ini file and restart HS.


                  [Settings]
                  InstallDone=True
                  i_com_port=6
                  i_com_port_resource=6
                  i_hsp_installed=0
                  i_hs_announces_caller=1

                    Hi Bill, thanks for the help. I got it to work so WAF CID is now adding to and reading from the custom call list. However, I do not see WAF CID listed in the Interfaces configuration page. I now see a 30 days trial license error in the HS log. I have the serial license code but don't know where to install it.

                    Here is my WAF CID ini file:

                    [Settings]
                    InstallDone=True
                    i_com_port=6
                    i_com_port_resource=6
                    i_hsp_installed=1
                    i_call_external_script=1
                    s_script_name=WAF-NetCallerID-Sample-CID-Processing.vbs
                    s_function_name=process_ncid_data
                    s_phone_list_file=WAF-NetCallerID-Phone-List.txt
                    i_cid_reversed=1
                    i_cid_comma_delimiter=0
                    i_enable_logging=1

                        Thank you I found it. Unfortunately the codes I have don't seem to work. I have a license key that is the big long alphanumeric string, a code on the order that begins with SCR-WAFCID... and none of them work. I have a password that is used to register HS and I tried all combinations of registration both manually and on-line.

                        This sucks...

                          Put in a ticket!

                          If you purchased this for 1.7 and are now using it for 2.X, put in a ticket and they will send you the new format for you WAFNetCallerID license. It will be in similar format to any other 2.X licenses you have.

                            Hello and thanks Rob. I did just that and HS sent me the proper license information.
                            All is nod good in the land of WAF CID!
