Summary:ASTERISK-08512: Attended Transfer with Polycom handset results in stuck call.

( 1) SIP_debug_output_for_transfer.txt
Description:An attended transfer from SIP/A to SIP/B leaves SIP/B's line on hold instead of in conversation with the transferred party.
The call state is also incorrect because the hold can't be resumed unless hold is pressed again (eg call is held, I need to press HOLD then RESUME to get the call back).

Scenario:

PSTN places call to SIP/A
SIP/A begins attended transfer to SIP/B
SIP/A completes attended transfer by pressing transfer button
SIP/B now has PSTN on hold

Pressing the line key will not resume the call, instead the call needs to be held again then resumed.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

I've included a sip debug summary of SIP/tassi2 (equivalent to SIP/A). Unfortunately, it seems you can no longer debug 2 sip peers at a time.

I hope I have included enough information - I will be rolling back to 1.2 shortly.

I think this may be related to a fix hold counter, which was fixed in 1.4 branch r49831. Can you please give that a try?

Thanks for the update.
I'll have to upgrade our old server which will take me a while, but will update with how it went.

Please give 1.4 as of revision 50468 a try. Thanks!

I've tested on Asterisk SVN-branch-1.4-r51274, and there is now a new problem. The good news, though, is that the original problem is solved.

When SIP/A tries to speak to SIP/B before completing the transfer, there is no audio going between the phones (although an RTP debug shows plenty of packets) so SIP/A and SIP/B cannot hear eachother.

SIP/A, though, can complete the transfer and PSTN and SIP/B can now hear eachother. I've attached debug output.

A regular call between SIP/A and SIP/B works perfectly - there is only a problem when doing an attended transfer.

Ok, we need to see some debug information, please redo sip debug as per following:
1) Prepare test environment (reduce the amount of unrelated traffic on the server);
2) Make sure your logger.conf has the following line:
  console => notice,warning,error,debug
3) restart Asterisk with the following command:
  'asterisk -Tvvvvvdddddngc | tee /tmp/verbosedebug.txt'
4) Enable SIP transaction logging with the following CLI commands:
set debug 4
set verbose 4
sip debug
5) Trim startup information and attach verbosedebug.txt to the issue.

Can you clarify on what the IP address "192.168.2.153" is allocated to? I noticed it in the SDP for where audio should be sent, and it just appeared out of nowhere... quite odd.

By: Tass Iliopoulos (tass) 2007-02-15 16:02:32.000-0600

192.168.2.153 is another phone - Polycom 430 - but it's actually registered to a different server. So, yes it's strange.

I'll try get some time to test with full debug in the next few days.

PolyA calls PolyB,,, PolyB attended transfer to PolyC, all works fine,,,

a IAXPhone Calls PolyA,, works fine,, PolyA attended transfer to PolyB, iax is on hold ,,, polyA talks with polyB,, when the polyA press the transfer button, IAXphone cant hear polyb and polyb cant hear iaxphone,,

tass, what's the status here with 1.4.1, debug log?

By: Serge Vecher (serge-v) 2007-03-26 12:42:43

no response for over a month. If still an issue in 1.4.2, please reopen with logs requested.
