YATE testing

How can you test your YATE installation?

By trying to place a call from the YATE machine to one of your lines.

  • set up and activate music on hold (moh), I attached mine to madplay, set up in the configuration under the name madplay. Thus I get moh/madplay as an available data source (another would be tone/ring)
  • start YATE if it is not already running.
  • telnet localhost 5038 to login to YATE (rmanager has to be activated!)
  • callgen set called=yourlinenumber
  • callgen set source=moh/madplay
  • callgen single

The device attached to the line should get a call with Caller ID "YATE", which will be routed to moh/madplay, and automatically disconnected after a minute.

You need to setup your call only once, and can continue testing with callgen single as often as you need to.

Here's more information in the original documentation.

Please note: you can't call outgoing numbers (as set up in your regex routing table) this way.

Also, you may need to enable the callgen and the rmanager modules in your yate.conf, if they had been disabled.

An easier way: simply enter

call moh/madplay yourlinenumber
