That is not a valid conference number

benmack · November 24, 2006, 6:06pm

Hi All

Small hitch setting up a conference - whatever I do, the user always gets the message “that is not a valid conference number”, after entering the PIN

If I enter the wrong PIN, it tells me, so it is clearly associating the call with the correct conference

Below is what appears on the cli:-

-- Executing Set("SIP/3001-08b2e480", "MEETME_ROOMNUM=5") in new stack
-- Executing GotoIf("SIP/3001-08b2e480", "0?READPIN") in new stack
-- Executing Answer("SIP/3001-08b2e480", "") in new stack
-- Executing Wait("SIP/3001-08b2e480", "1") in new stack
-- Executing Read("SIP/3001-08b2e480", "PIN|enter-conf-pin-number||") in new stack

Any ideas?

Thanks Rick

A belated update, I ignored the problem for a while

ztdummy was running

Recently I upgraded asterisk and freepbx and behold it suddenly works

Cheers

Do you have zaptel installed? If you are not using a card of any type you
have to have a USB port on the machine and ztdummy running.

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem with FreePBX 2.5 and the conference module 2.5.1.5… Whatever I do I can hear “that is not a valid conference number…”

And ztdummy is running !

I just upgraded from *now to FreePBX. Same conference issue.

Laz · November 17, 2008, 5:06pm

up?

caw · January 20, 2009, 2:49pm

We just recently upgraded to FreePBX 2.5.1.1 (Conferencing Module 2.5.1.7) on Asterisk 1.4.22. We had an existing conference room (previously worked on FPBX 1.4.x & Ast 1.2.x) that resulted in the same message above. Even deleting and recreating it didn’t help.

Zaptel (ver 1.4.12.1) is installed and running with only the ztdummy module loaded.

What else can I check in an attempt to get this running again?

caw · January 20, 2009, 3:27pm

After reading this and 5 other forum posts on this topic, here’s my fix for my setup.

As I have no telephony hardware installed, make sure ztdummy is loaded:
]$ lsmod | grep dummy
ztdummy 7876 0
zaptel 194308 1 ztdummy
With the upgrade of my system I think I’m still using zaptel instead of DAHDI, so add the following to [options] section of /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf:
dahdichanname = no
Verify and change the following ownership and permissions:
]$ sudo ls -ld /dev/zap/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 Jan 20 09:39 /dev/zap/
]$ sudo ls -l /dev/zap/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root asterisk 196, 254 Jan 20 09:39 channel
crw-rw---- 1 root asterisk 196, 0 Jan 20 09:39 ctl
crw-rw---- 1 root asterisk 196, 255 Jan 20 09:39 pseudo
crw-rw---- 1 root asterisk 196, 253 Jan 20 09:39 timer
Reload Asterisk
]$ sudo asterisk -rx “reload”

Ultimately the root cause of the problem I believe to be the permissions of /dev/zaptel/pseudo, but I’d already made some of the other changes before I got this far. This can be determined by either following the above, or:

]$ sudo grep “app_meetme.c” /var/log/asterisk/full
[Jan 20 09:25:06] WARNING[6183] app_meetme.c: Unable to open pseudo device

Hope this helps.

Is there a fix using DAHDI or how do you install zaptel dummy if you have dahdi dummy already installed?

Thanks
