[asterisk-users] Camp / Callback feature in 1.4
Hello I'm looking for a way to do the following using my Asterisk system and Snom SIP phones... Scenario: Caller on Internal Phone 1 calls internal phone2. Phone 2 is busy (or more accurately goes straight to voicemail). Caller on internal phone 1 can press a button / dial a code (explained in next step) and hangup When phone 2 is free, phone 1 rings and on answer dials phone 2 I was sure this was called camping - but all the camping stuff I can find, refers to the caller having to hang on the phone and wait. Am I missing something? Anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance Phil ___ -- 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

I was sure this was called camping - but all the camping stuff I can find,
refers to the caller having to hang on the phone and wait. Am I missing
something?
Anyone have a solution?
Quick solution that comes into mind:
Set(exten_copy = ${EXTEN});
Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})
if (${DIALSTATUS}=BUSY) {
// prompt for camp
Set(DB(camp/${EXTEN}/call_to)=${CALLERID(num));
}
h = {
Set(call_to=${DB(camp/${exten_copy}/call_to)});
if (${call_to}!=) {
Set(DB(camp/${exten_copy}/call_to)=);
System(call_to ${exten_copy} ${call_to});
}
}
So, in case if phone2 is busy, store callerid of phone1 in database,
so when phone2 will hangup it will triger a script call_to which
however can originate call trough manager or call-file.
Of course you will need some additional handling in case if multiple
callers decide to camp, or diferent protocols are used, etc.

Atis

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Camp on?
Why not just create a .call file when the number is busy? The .call
file tries to dial the destination with the retry interval and max
attempts you specify, when the call goes thru, dial that other number.
Here's what I have been using to produce a callback feature. It's not
pretty but it works
**
; menu callback initiated
exten = *,1,GotoIf($[ ${CALLERID(num)} 800 ]?:i|1)
exten = *,n,System(/usr/bin/ast_callback ${CALLERID(num)} ${CALLEDEXTEN} )
exten = *,n,AGI(tts_playback.sh,call back activated,li)
exten = *,n,Hangup()
**
The GotoIf statement is checking to see if the call is an internal call
The CALLEDEXTEN variable that I defined contains the extension number
you dialed, you could also have it be the channel (ie Zap/2) your dialing.
This is the /usr/bin/ast_callback script.
**
#!/bin/bash
#
# Initiate a call file to call back busy extension
callerid=` echo $1 | sed -e 's///g'`
called=` echo $2 | sed -e 's///g'`
CALLBACKFILE=$(cat -EOF1
Channel: local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
MaxRetries: 3
RetryTime: 5
WaitTime: 5
CallerID: Call Back $callerid
Context: callback
Extension: $called
Priority: 1
EOF1)
echo $CALLBACKFILE /var/spool/asterisk/callback/c_back$callerid$$
mv /var/spool/asterisk/callback/c_back$callerid$$
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/c_back$callerid$$
**
This is the context that the ast_callback script call file 'dials' back
into:
**
[callback]
exten = _8XX,1(available),ChanIsAvail(${ext_${EXTEN}}|s)
exten = _8XX,n,System(/usr/bin/ast_callback_ok ${CALLERID(num)}
${ext_${EXTEN}} )
exten = _8XX,available+101,System(/usr/bin/ast_sleep 5)
exten = _8XX,n,Set(loops=$[ ${loops} + 1 ])
exten = _8XX,n,GotoIf($[ ${loops} 120 ]?available:)
exten = _8XX,n,Hangup()
**
I have all my extension channels defined as global variables (ie
ext_820 = Zap/13). So ${ext_${EXTEN}} maps extension number to channel.
If they the phone is no longer busy another call file is initiated where
the extension you were attempting to reach will be calling you back.
If it's still busy we wait 5 seconds and try again. There must be a
better way to do a 5 second wait but I used a script.
**
#!/bin/bash
#
# Initiate a call file to call back extension that is no longer busy
callerid=` echo $1 | sed -e 's///g'`
called=` echo $2 | sed -e 's///g'`
CALLBACKFILE=$(cat -EOF1
Channel: $called
MaxRetries: 2
RetryTime: 15
WaitTime: 15
CallerID: Call Back $callerid
Context: internal
Extension: $callerid
Priority: 1
EOF1)
echo $CALLBACKFILE /var/spool/asterisk/callback/c_back$callerid$$
mv /var/spool/asterisk/callback/c_back$callerid$$
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/c_back$callerid$$
**
**
#!/bin/bash
#
# sleep for x seconds
sleep $1

I'm not too familiar with deadagi and its capabilities but it seems to be that having a process continue to run after someone hangs up is not one of asterisk's strengths (for this particular requirement) So, I think it might be better with a two stage process, something like the following; 1) Caller makes a call 2) Status is busy 3) the BUSY handler writes a value to astdb (or by some other method) which contains the extension that was trying to call them. 4) Call is hungup as normal. (or the user is prompted if they would like a call back) - Callee (that was previously busy) hangs up the call 1) The 'h' extension is configured to lookup astdb for the existence of any missed calls. I think this could also be done by allowing dial to continue after hangup. 2) Generate a call file with the values from astdb. Things to watch out for; - Handle multiple values (i.e. more than one person calls them while they are busy) - the delay between them hanging up and the phone ringing again (find a happy medium of not too fast, not too slow). - This function should only be applicable to internal calls, if you make it part of a standard extension macro you should probably allow it to be skipped for external calls. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Now accepting new clients in Birmingham, Atlanta, Huntsville, Chattanooga, and Montgomery. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Implementing either one in asterisk needs to consider other extension config info such as whether the extension has VM or not, whether the call came from the pstn or another local extension, etc. Not likely either form can truly be implemented in a agi script without significantly impacting other pbx functions. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I dunno... off the top of my head: - improve upon the standard extension macro such that any Dial() uses 'g' option, and include an 'h' option in the context - the macro will, upon Dial returning busy and detection of a local extension calling (done with variables) present a press 5 to receive a callback when this user is free, or 1 to go to voicemail or something similar. If a callback's required, save the extension of the calling party to a DB and hang up (I'm describing non-staying-on-the-line camp-on). - the macro will, upon the extension hanging up (using 'g' option), check the DB for a list of extensions waiting for callback and using a callout file, call the first one. - the sip/zap/iax extension's normal context's 'h' extension will do the same. - some housekeeping is required to keep the db clean but that's about it. that's your basic camp-on. while-you-wait campon isn't too different, and camp-on that calls you when they are around (i.e. they didn't answer but you want to know when they're back) is done similarly but when the monitored extension makes a call (done in the standard extension macro) or takes a call that is answered (standard extension looking at HANGUPCAUSE), it then recognizes that the person at the extension is there and the camp-on stuff above is activated. Yes this is all highlevel hand-waving at this point but I don't see where it's really impacting the PBX all that much. This can be done almost exclusively in the dialplan, without any AGIs or additional apps. Maybe a cron job to do the housekeeping and a script ot write out the proper callfiles... but that's it I think. -A. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I think this could also be done by allowing dial to continue after hangup. 2) Generate a call file with the values from astdb. Things to watch out for; - Handle multiple values (i.e. more than one person calls them while they are busy) - the delay between them hanging up and the phone ringing again (find a happy medium of not too fast, not too slow). - This function should only be applicable to internal calls, if you make it part of a standard extension macro you should probably allow it to be skipped for external calls. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] Camp on?
Hi all, In .nl there is a feature provided by the incumbent that I would like to implement for an internal PBX setup. The incumbents feature does the following (adopted for internal PBX use, so no external/PSTN numbers are used): 1) pick up phone and dial an internal extension 2) if other side is busy, play a message press 5 to get connected once the other side becomes available 3) press 5 on phone 4) hangup 5) wait till phone starts ringing 6) pick up phone 7) other extension is automatically dialed again and you should hear it ring I believe this is called camp on. Found some examples on voip-info.org but they assume that you do not hangup the originating phone. Anyone have an idea how to implement this feature as described above?

I believe this is called camp on. Found some examples on voip-info.org but they assume that you do not hangup the originating phone. Anyone have an idea how to implement this feature as described above? When I worked at Philips there were two variants: - camp on busy - camp on no answer The second one is tricky; after the destination number has been used again, the switch will dial the originator and then the destination and connect the two legs. -- Andreas Sikkema BBned NV Software EngineerPlaneetbaan 4 +31 (0)23 70743422132 HZ Hoofddorp ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

In Australia, Camp On is known as a feature that allows you to ignore a busy signal and simply keep holding. The feature you are referring to is called a Callback. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Not quite retrydial, that is more like dial the person and keep dialing the person until they pickup with the ability to listen to MOH while you wait. I think what the OP is asking for is call someone, they are busy, press a button to enable callback and as soon as they hang-up from a call the callers handset starts ringing to let them know the called party is now free, when the caller pickups the phone they are connected to the person they were trying to call. I'm not sure how clear my explanation is :S Nathan. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] Camp On configuration?
Is there a clever way to camp on an extension in asterisk? What I need is a way to answer my extension (not just a ringing ZAP channel) from any other phone. If I'm in another office and hear my phone ringing, I want to be able to quickly pick it up from that extension. The list revealed the pickupgroup parameter, but that looks like it will pick up any zap channel that's ringing. This call has already been routed to my SIP phone on my desk, and I want to specifically pick that call up. Is that possible?
