Description:When using a call file (i.e. autodial), control is passed to the context/extension/priority before the outgoing h323 call is answered. This behavior does not happen with outbound Sip, IAX2, or Zap channels.

I needed to connect to our Avaya switch using h323 and found issue 11261 (http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=11261). I am running on FC10 using the most current version of asterisk (asterisk-1.6.0.1) and the latest versions of h323plus code (h323plus-v1_20_2 & ptlib-v2_0_1-4). I manually applied the pvhatz patches (from issue 11261) to the 1.6 code and got everything to compile. I was very pleased with how easy it was to get the h323 connection working with our Avaya switch. However, after testing I found the aforementioned issue.

I am new to the asterisk code and voip protocols, but I am willing to learn/work/contribute. I also have a system that we can use to test with.

Can one of you guys help direct me?

After watching the dialog/controversy about h323plus versus OpenH323 v1.18.0 (re. http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=11261 ), I have gone back and installed openh323 v1.18 & PWLIB v1.10. The issue that I reported above is still present.

Control is passed to the context/exten/priority before the outgoing call is answered when the call is initiated via a call file.

Assigned to jpeeler for now as he has started working on some H.323 bugs, but it will still probably be a while before he can get to the issue, and attempt to resolve it. Thanks!

Is it possible that the Avaya switch is auto answering the call? I'm testing here with simph323 and am observing expected behavior of waiting for the answer.

I am away from the office right now. I should be able to double check this next week.

Prompted by jpeelers comments above, I got Avaya to help look at my configuration. We were able for fix the Avaya configuration so that everything works as expected/designed. I uploaded the Avaya 8720 configuration from our that allows me to interconnect via h.323. Please close this issue.
