Re: [Asterisk-Users] 3 Phone Call Qualtiy Issues
Hi, Thanks for the reply... The clicks are on every call and every few minutes or so, I guess you could call it regular intermittance? :) The only option for DTMF on my IAX phones are inband and outband-neither of which will respond to a menu prompt. I discovered I had to use outband just to use the phone's voicemail menu, so that is what it is set to. I cant specify DTMF in the IAX extension setup either- only on SIP extensions, for which I have no devices. For clarification on the outgoing dialing- I dial a number, the phone says Please Dial... for approx 9 secs, and then says Calling #. I have looked at all the places I can think of for max silence settings (thinking it would be like the voicemail maxsilence=# variable) but no luck.

Within my LAN ulaw works great and sounds better. 1. During all calls there are periodic 'clicks' that sound as if one of the party's have hung up, about every 2 minutes or so. hmmm, Is this intermittent? 2. When calling, lets say for example Dell tech support, if the user is prompted to select a menu option the number they dial is not translated and the menu just keeps on going. I couldn't use inband DTMF with my equipment, I had to use rfc2833, which is set in both my equipment and the extensions that correspond. 3. The time between dialing an outgoing number and actual connection is painfully long- is this configurable in Asterisk somewhere? You might looks for extra waits in your dial plan extension that calls out? I don't notice mine being too long, although I hear two different dial tones at times. Depends on how your calls are terminated. Oh, and my outgoing provider is voipjet and incoming is Teliax. Teliax has been out for two days here for me, although it's back now...

[Asterisk-Users] Call Transfer
Hello, I have my [EMAIL PROTECTED] working beautifully for basic call function. So now I am testing extended functions for my office users and am hitting a wall. I simply need to be able to put a call on hold and forward it to any another internal extension. I have an Eezee AT-320 IAX2 phone and according to the directions, I simply select Hold enter ext hit Fwd. However when I press the button all I do is annoy the caller with loud button punching sounds. Does something need to be configured in * to allow call transfer to work? I am using an inbound trunk from Teliax- no cards, just a T1 direct to my * server. I have found transfer functions for zapatel- but as I said I am just using the T1 and have no zapatel trunks/configurations. I have also seen a lot of information for call forwarding but that sets up a permanent forward function to a specific extension. I just want to be able to say One moment, Mike can help you with that, let me transfer you and then be able to do it. Since this happens with all my AT-320 phones, I don't think it is hardware related and there is no mention of call transfer configuration for the phone itself.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Call Transfer
I have the phone specific directions to transfer calls, but I tried your suggestion. No go. I have 3 of the Eezee phones and call transfer doesn't work on any of them, so I really don't think it is hardware related. I think the problem may be with my feature.conf which had no reference to blindxfer or atxfer. I added them so my feature.conf now looks like this: transferdigittimeout = 3 ; Number of seconds to wait between digits when transfering a call ;courtesytone = beep; Sound file to play to the parked caller ; when someone dials a parked call xfersound = beep ; to indicate an attended transfer is complete xferfailsound = beeperr; to indicate a failed transfer ;adsipark = yes ; if you want ADSI parking announcements ;pickupexten = *8 ; Configure the pickup extension. Default is *8 ;featuredigittimeout = 500 ; Max time (ms) between digits for ; feature activation. Default is 500 [featuremap] blindxfer = #; Blind transfer disconnect = *0 ; Disconnect ;automon = *1 ; One Touch Record atxfer = *2 I rebooted my * server but still no go. Are there dependencies I am not aware of? Should [featuremap] be referenced elsewhere as well? I am working with * CVS 1.0.9 and have found an article on wiki that support for call transfer was added in 1.2. Are there other places I need to hack for this functionality?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Call Transfer
Yes, I can dial *97 for VM and check messages. When I select # during a call it does nothing though. I tried inband for DTMF but that didnt work.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Call Transfer
He is what happens from the time the extension is selected from the time the digital receptionist answers until I hangup. I watched the logs as I was pushing all sorts of transfer button possibilities and nothing. It just stayed at 'ooh, voice format changed to 4' Which, while humorous tells me nothing except that my phone is not able to communicate with the sever at all from the time the call is put through until the call is done.
