Hello,

I am migrating a PABX system based in Asterisk 1.4 to Asterisk 13, with success.

I have an application that sends an action Originate to AMI for calling, it’s working well, but when i see to Asterisk’s CLI, i see 2
calls for just one originate:

pftestes40copiabh*CLI> core show channels verbose Channel Context Extension Prio State Application Data CallerID Duration Accountcode PeerAccount BridgeID

9428460a-f4e7-46d1-b
4 active channels
2 active calls

In fact, just one call is up.

Somebody knows if this is ok, or it’s a bug? May be someday asterisk will create just one call for one originate?

Thanks in advanced for your answers!

Alonso.

  • It looks like you’re originating with local channels.

    Try with /n at the end (not sure if that helps anymore) and also send us your originate line.

  • It isn’t a bug.

    The output of ‘core show channels’ reports a ‘call’ (which is not a concept that is represented well anywhere in Asterisk) as a channel with a PBX thread running. In this case, that’s the two channels in your output that are not outbound channels, i.e., the Local channels that dialled your SIP channels.

    That fact that you have two different SIP channels means that something either performed two Originates, or you have done a parallel Dial.
