I have an issue where the caller is not hearing any ringing for inbound DIDs. I have a2billing configured to call an ATA when a call is received on that DID. My setup is:

Inbound DID is configured in A2Billing.
Destination is set to: local/accoutnumber@diddestination

My extensions.conf has:
[diddestination]
exten => _X.,1,Set(DEST=${EXTEN})
exten => _X.,n,Goto(s, 1)
exten => s,1,Ringing
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/${DEST},20)
exten => s,n,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => s-ANSWER,1,Hangup
exten => s-CONGESTION,1,VoiceMail(${DEST})
exten => s-BUSY,1,VoiceMail(${DEST})
exten => s-NOANSWER,1,VoiceMail(${DEST})
exten => s-CHANUNAVAIL,1,VoiceMail(${DEST})
exten => s-CANCEL,1,VoiceMail(${DEST})


I've tried using the r option and it doesn't work either. Any thoughts?

I played around with this some more and I'm still having the problem. Inside my diddestination "wrapper" I tried with and without the r option. I also changed the dial string inside a2billing to include and exclude the r. I tried all combinations. Neither worked.

I also tried adding a Ringing command above the Dial command in the diddestination context. This works slightly in that I get a short ringing sound but then dead air while it performs the Dial command and calls the ATA.

My assumption is that the ATA on the other end isn't generating a ring tone therefore it's Asterisk's responsibility to do that.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've still been unable to find a solution for this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Got the answer I needed from digium's forums.

That was very helpful to those who spent the time reading through your post.

Thank you.

If I can provide more information, let me know.
