Starting with Asterisk v1.8, the DAHDI channel name format was changed for ISDN calls to: DAHDI/i<span>/<number>[:<subaddress>]-<sequence-number> There were several reasons that the channel name had to change. 1) Call completion requires a device state for ISDN phones. The generic device state uses the channel name. 2) Calls do not necessarily have B channels. Calls placed on hold by an ISDN phone do not have B channels. 3) The B channel a call initially requests may not be the B channel the call ultimately uses. Changes to the internal implementation of the Asterisk master channel list caused deadlock problems for chan_dahdi if it needed to change the channel name. Chan_dahdi no longer changes the channel name. 4) DTMF attended transfers now work with ISDN phones because the channel name is "dialable" like the chan_sip channel names. For various reasons, some people need to know which B channel a DAHDI call is using. * Added CHANNEL(dahdi_span), CHANNEL(dahdi_channel), and CHANNEL(dahdi_type) so the dialplan can determine the B channel currently in use by the channel. Use CHANNEL(no_media_path) to determine if the channel even has a B channel. * Added AMI event DAHDIChannel to associate a DAHDI channel with an Asterisk channel so AMI applications can passively determine the B channel currently in use. Calls with "no-media" as the DAHDIChannel do not have an associated B channel. No-media calls are either on hold or call-waiting.
