roaming problem #6

Open rdmitry0911 opened 1 year ago

rdmitry0911 commented 1 year ago

Hi guys, I have a very old kirkwood device running openwrt 15.05 with Asterisk 11.22.0 and chan_dongle: Huawei 3G Dongle Channel Driver, Version 1.1, Revision 35. Everything works fine, but openwrt a while ago stop supporting this device. So I decided to move my config to a modern platform. I have installed chan-dongle-extended in Debian 11 with FreePBX 16 and asterisk 16. Everything seems working and dongle is recognized, but as far as I'm using it in roaming I'm having a problem of registering dongle in a network. This problem does not appear in openwrt box thou. a dongle looks like this:

root@FreePBX-debian:~# dongle list

        },
        "contacts": [],

      }
    },

    "isGsmConnectivityOk": false
  }
]

in my openwrt box I see something different. While the dongle is initialized I see this:

Asterisk-OpenWrt*CLI> dongle show devices
ID           Group State      RSSI Mode Submode Provider Name  Model      Firmware          IMEI             IMSI             Number

When it's ready, I see this:

Asterisk-OpenWrt*CLI> dongle show devices
ID           Group State      RSSI Mode Submode Provider Name  Model      Firmware          IMEI             IMSI             Number

I think that the problem is that dongle network provider is fixed by chan_dongle service to the one listed in "fromNetwork" field of dongle list command, while originally dongle chooses the best provider by itself. The question is how to either let dongle to choose provider or (which is better IMHO) to let the user to specify the desired provider in the config?

Thank you, Dmitry
