I tried configuring asterisk to let me enter a number, and if i do not, to ring the phone.
this way i can call my home and turn on my boiler for 15 minutes (1900) or my air-condition (1901), or burn the house down (1902). but if someone else calls me,he hears 'wait a moment' and after 3 seconds it rings my home phone. and then voicemail here is part of my extensions.conf: -------------------------------------------------------------------- [incoming] exten => 500,1,ResponseTimeout(3) exten => 500,2,BackGround(wait-moment) exten => t,1,Goto(ringme,1,1) exten => i,1,Goto(ringme,1,1) exten => _9411XXX,1,Goto(default,${EXTEN:4},1) exten => 1900,1,Goto(default,1900,1) exten => 1901,1,Goto(default,1901,1) exten => 1902,1,Goto(default,1902,1) [ringme] exten => 1,1,Dial(SIP/home&SIP/work&SIP/pri-minister,25,r) exten => 1,1,Goto(voicemail,1,1) [default] exten => 1900,1,System('/scripts/start_bioler.pl') exten => 1901,1,System('/scripts/start_aircon.py') exten => 1902,1,System('/scripts/burn_house_down.exe') -------------------------------------------------------------------------- the problem is when a person calls me, after the 3 seconds timeout he hears silence for the ringing duration (25 seconds), the caller doesn't hear any ringing sound, although the dial command has an r in the end however, if i replace incoming's 500 entry with: [incoming] exten => 500,1,Goto(ringme,1,1) then a ringing tone is heard by the caller Note that i speak of the caller hearging a ringing sound, not the callee. the ring on the calee(s) is ok in both cases. any idea ? cheers, erez. ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
