prevent infinite loop

Posted by Ierlandfan on Sun, 03/08/2009

Case:

1 admin creates inbound route to an hunt group but hunt group does not contain any users.
admin makes testcall and MTE picks up and goes into loop (Symptoms: dropped call, unstable MTE)
2. User portal: User creates an loop to itself. (Forward call to same extension)
MTE picks up and goes into loop (Symptoms: dropped call, unstable MTE)

Question:

1. Asterisk/MTE is capable of detecting this loop? I read it does?
2. Is there a way to disable an infinite loop (That is: Do not wait forever for something to happen but
time-out)
3. How to quickly detect the loop manually?

(Optional: make and SNMP trap to monitor this.)
