Hello List,
 
I work for an IP communication provider in upstate NY as the engineer assisting our technical support team.
We provide a number of different Telco systems to residential subscribers; and in an effort to more effectively trouble shoot termination problems I came up with the idea of creating a click to call system that will allow our agents to effortlessly place test calls.
 
On a daily basis we place numerous (50-100) 'test' calls to various locations in the US; these 'test' calls are routed using one of three different phone systems:
 
1) The PSTN
2) Broadband phone platform one
3) Broadband phone platform two
 
I have an Asterisk server configured that can terminate out three platforms listed above.
 
Our support agents are behind a Televantage ACD using D-TermSeries E NEC phones. 
Each agent has a DID and are permitted to receive inbound calls on that DID.
 
Here is my goal:
 
Create a web application that will allow the agent to enter the following information into a form:
 
1) The agents DID
2) The platform the agent wishes to terminate a test call through (either 1,2,3 above)
3) The number the agent wishes to terminate to
 
My thought is this form will generate a .call file in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing that will then ring the agents station, pause, and terminate to the selected DID using the selected platform.  I also thought about interacting directly with the AGI.
 
I can successfully generate the .call files, and ring a station on the Asterisk server - the problem is the agents are not on the Asterisk server.
 
Is there a way to use Asterisk to initiate these test calls?
 
Is it possible to create a forwarding context to handle this?
 
Any thoughts?
 
Thanks for the help!
 
Cheers,
