Hi, I am a newbie to Asterisk; need help understanding three-way conferencing & call-transfer features implemented over standard extensions i.e. on a TDM800P card (4 FXO + 4FXS)
In Asterisk I have observed that if an extension is already participating in an active call (e.g. Ext A & Ext B communicating): 1. An incoming call to one of these active extensions would be presented with call-wait beeps (e.g. Ext A receives call-wait beeps as Ext C is attempting to call Ext A). 2. The call waiting may be answered by pressing Hook-Flash, placing the previously active call on hold (e.g. C answered; A & C communicate; B placed on hold). 3. The calls could be toggled by subsequent Hook-Flash's (e.g. A & B communicate; C placed on hold). Queries: 1. If the extension which received call-wait beeps hangs-up then the call waiting/the call placed on hold returns as a new call. I was expecting the call to be transferred (A hangs-up, B & C communicate), how could the call be transferred? I expected this feature to be available in Asterisk as this is a very normal feature available on any PBX and used extensively in Call Transfer. 2. How could the extension that received call-wait beeps initiate a three-way conference with the other extensions (A, B & C in three-way conference)? I expected this feature to be available in Asterisk as this is a very normal feature available on any PBX and used extensively in 3-way Call Conference. Regds. Varun
