[Asterisk-Users] Manager API Call Origination Variables
Hi all, I am using the Asterisk Manager API to originate calls and it is working well, when a call is placed the local phone rings, once you pick it up you can here the call ringing the other end. Now, I am using Polycom IP 300 and I have them setup to auto-answer if I set the ALERT_INFO variable to Ring Answer. This works fine from my dial plan but I can't figure out how to set ALERT_INFO from the Manager API. Basically I want calls that are originated from the Manager API to automatically take place on the speaker phone. I have tried Action: SetVar Channel: sip/pete_desk Variable: ALERT_INFO Value: Ring Answer but it gives me about no such channel but this is the same channel I use to place the call immediately after attempting to set the variable. Any ideas?

However, you may be able to pass variables in the originate command itself: Action: Originate Channel: sip/12345 Exten: 1234 Context: default Variable: _ALERT_INFO=Ring Answer|SomeOtherVar=SomeOtherValue This may work.

Well I tried just about every combination that I can think of as well as every combination mentioned and it still doesn't work. Not sure why, maybe it's just not possible from the Manager API.

I'm using this in production, and it works like a charm. (example from PHP).

Any ideas? I have 2 extension entries for all my auto-answer phones. If you dial just the normal extension (like 1234) it does the normal answer thing. If you dial an * before the extension (like *1234) it does the auto answer thing. So you could just use: Channel: sip/*1234 or Channel: sip/*pete_dest -- Bob Knight [-w] the work option [EMAIL PROTECTED] 925-449-9163 ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
