    sig_analog: Changes to improve electromechanical signalling compatibility · 466eb4a5
    Sarah Autumn authored
    This changeset is intended to address compatibility issues encountered
    when interfacing Asterisk to electromechanical telephone switches that
    implement ANI-B, ANI-C, or ANI-D.
    
    In particular the behaviours that this impacts include:
    
     - FGC-CAMA did not work at all when using MF signaling. Modified the
       switch case block to send calls to the correct part of the
       signaling-handling state machine.
    
     - For FGC-CAMA operation, the delay between called number ST and
       second wink for ANI spill has been made configurable; previously
       all calls were made to wait for one full second.
    
     - After the ANI spill, previous behavior was to require a 'ST' tone
       to advance the call.  This has been changed to allow 'STP' 'ST2P'
       or 'ST3P' as well, for compatibility with ANI-D.
    
     - Store ANI2 (ANI INFO) digits in the CALLERID(ANI2) channel variable.
    
     - For calls with an ANI failure, No. 1 Crossbar switches will send
       forward a single-digit failure code, with no calling number digits
       and no ST pulse to terminate the spill.  I've made the ANI timeout
       configurable so to reduce dead air time on calls with ANI fail.
    
     - ANI info digits configurable.  Modern digital switches will send 2
       digits, but ANI-B sends only a single info digit.  This caused the
       ANI reported by Asterisk to be misaligned.
    
     - Changed a confusing log message to be more informative.
