having FOP monitor and interact with

[Jonathan Nalley <jnalley@xxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to have FOP monitor and interact (regular and VM transfers, etc...) 
with an additional server, as opposed to localhost where FOP and asterisk are 
running on the same box.

Nicolas's post at the URL below seems to indicate that this is possible, i'm 
just not having success in doing so. Perhaps because I really don't know how to 
make it work.
http://www.asternic.org/archives/msg01088.html

The box that FOP resides and operates on (Box A) is running A@x with Asterisk 
1.2.1.  The additional box that i'm trying to get box A to monitor is running 
trixbox with Asterisk 1.2.9.1

Below is the pertinent portion of op_server.cfg from Box A:


[general]
; host or ip address of asterisk
manager_host=127.0.0.1

; user and secret for connecting to * manager
manager_user=admin
manager_secret=amp111

; You can specify many asterisk servers to
; monitor. Just repeat the manager_host, manager_user
; and manager_secret parameters in order. The first
; one will be server number 1, and so on.
;
manager_host=192.168.0.67
manager_user=gvlfop
manager_secret=gvlfop



And of course, i have that manager setup in manager.conf of Box B:
[gvlfop]
secret=gvlfop
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=192.168.0.202/255.255.255.0
read=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

And Box B is receiving manager data from Box A as evidenced by the CLI output 
from Box B that i have provided below:

  == Manager 'gvlfop' logged on from 192.168.0.202
  == Manager 'gvlfop' logged off from 192.168.0.202



I tried to add a button representing an extension on Box B but I suspect that i 
may have problems because i never am seeing when the Box B extension is active 
or ringing or anything. The snippet below is from op_buttons_custom.cfg

[SIP/217]
Position=35
Label="217 : JN test"
Extension=217
Context=from-internal
Icon=4
Voicemail_Context=device
Panel_Context=default
VoiceMailExt=*217@xxxxxxxxx

In case you're wondering 217, is NOT a valid extension on Box A, only on Box B.


Thoughts on what i'm doing wrong?? I see the button visibly in FOP, it just 
never shows when the extension is active or ringing and etc...   Thanks in 
advance.
