Hi all,
I'm currently involved in a project where the meetme application is used
extensively forbridging calls between an operator and 2 or more parties. One
of the features that we require is the ability to pass DTMF signals from any
party in the bridge to a pre-specified bridge connected channel.
I will explain this using the following scenario:
1. User A calls the Asterisk box and is put into the bridge
2. An operator is notified that a user is waiting in the bridge and connects to
the bridge.
3. Now, the operator originates 1 or more calls that would be connected to the
bridge. One of these calls is designated with an environment variable saying
${OUTBOUND_BRIDGE}.
4. Any channel connected to the bridge, when pressing a DTMF key would then have
that DTMF signal transmitter to the ${OUTBOUND_BRIDGE} channel, resulting in
the ability to bridge several users into a single outbound channel and to
proxy DTMF's to it.
I'm aware that is a fairly funky usage for an application, but if someone has
a better way of doing this, I'm willing to learn. Oh, btw, one small remark, if
you were about to say: "use queues and call park", my answer would be: "I
can't, I have no control over the extensions". I basically interconnect via a
PRI to an external Avaya CTI system, thus, I have no way of implementing queues
in the system - due to constraints by the Avaya CTI system.
Regards,
Nir Simionovich
