This might be a better application of a call file than an AMI originate. The AMI originate in this case has to operate in a threaded fashion, whereas if you created a call file for each extension and dumped them into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing, pbx.c would call all of them at once without the "first pickup" problem.

Hi Danny, This is exactly what I am doing, but it takes a few seconds before all the extensions are ringing. The loop takes its time. I need something as quick as Dial(SIP/201&SIP/202... which is truly call all at once, but it connects only two channels, i.e. the first once which picked up, and then stops ringing the rest.

Hi, I have to set this up for a client, where he could dial multiple extensions at once, and then put all who picks up into a conference. I am using a script which does it using originate command. But the originate commands run one after another, and so it takes a few seconds to call the extensions, one after another. This is not acceptable by the client. If I use Dial(SIP/201&SIP/202..., it is like a ringgroup, where if one extension picks up, others stop ringing. Is there a way to dial all the extensions at once and then put them in the conference? -- Zeeshan A Zakaria _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
