URI Variable=CalleridName=blah stops NoojeeClick working

[murfett-au]

Hi,

I've managed to diagnose quite thoroughly exacty what my problems are with Noojee Click To Dial.

By looking at the Firefox error panel, I see that the Noojee Click application first authenticates:

14:59:43:207 debug: request=http://asteriskbox:8088/asterisk/mxml?action=Login&Username=username&Secret=notsilly&Events=call

and then originates a call by calling the following:

15:0:47:379 debug: request=http://asteriskbox:8088/asterisk/mxml?action=Originate&Channel=SIP/402&Exten=401&Context=from-internal&CallerId=401-NoojeeClick&Variable=CalleridName=401-NoojeeClick&Priority=1

but this does not work for me.  So I played around a bit (ok - I played around a lot really) and found that I could originate the call with the following two URLs called from a browser:

http://asteriskbox:8088/asterisk/mxml?action=Login&Username=username&Secret=notsilly&Events=call
(response is:
<ajax-response>
−
<response type="object" id="unknown">
<generic response="Success" message="Authentication accepted"/>
</response>
</ajax-response>

and then within HTTPTIMEOUT:

http://asteriskbox:8088/asterisk/mxml?action=Originate&Channel=SIP/402&Exten=0396119111&Context=from-internal&Priority=1

response to this originate request is:

<ajax-response>
−
<response type="object" id="unknown">
<generic response="Success" message="Originate successfully queued"/>
</response>
</ajax-response>

So contrasting the Originate URI that the noojee click application submitted with my working one:
the noojee URI has the folowing extra parameters:

CallerId=0312345678-NoojeeClick
and
Variable=CalleridName=0312345678-NoojeeClick

The problematic parameter is the Variable=CallidName one.

If I include CalledId=0312345678-NoojeeClick in my URI, it still originates the call, and my Linksys SPA942 displays "0312345678-NoojeeClick" as the callerID:
http://asteriskbox:8088/asterisk/mxml?action=originate&Channel=SIP/402&Exten=0396162636&Context=from-internal&Priority=1&CallerId=0312345678-NoojeeClick

I'm running Asterisk Core 2.5.1.6 on CentOS 5.2 with FreePBX installed.  There is one bug report I found about passing variables using originate command, but I don't this applies as I am not getting a segmentation fault :

What is the purpose of that
Variable=CalleridName=0312345678-NoojeeClick
and is it possible to turn it off somewhere in the options?

The variable sets the handsets LCD display.
There is currently no means of turning of from the UI.

BTW your asterisk version doesn't make any sense.
All asterisk version start with a '1'.
e.g.
1.2.xxx
1.4.xxx
1.4.xxx

I would recommend upgrading to the latest 1.4.xx build and see if that fixes the problem.

[murfett-au]

Sorry - my asterisk version is 1.4.24.1.

I did notice that another product - ThirdLane Dialer - does work, but does not give any called info on the SPA942 handsets.

I've just done another server build on a HP ML370, so I'll configure it for Noojee Click To Dial and see if it works.

Cheers
