I would suggest you to dial to Local channel.. From there you can use Dial() application and macros if you wish to playback something.. So you would have two call legs - one connected to local channel and second to specified context/extension/priority in call file. Then in local channel you can do Answer() - that would mark that as answered and start executing context/exten/priority from callfile, or don't do answer - then answer from next subsequent dial would count.

If you want to play (just) an anouncement, add option A() to Dial command: A(x): Play an announcement (x.gsm) to the called party. or M(), if You want to do more: M(x): Executes the macro (x) upon connect of the call (i.e. when the called party answers) -- Suich ___ --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
[asterisk-users] A Leg Control on Asterisk Callback
I'm confused about something. It's the way Asterisk handles the A leg (ie the first party dialed) on an originate command via the Manager Interface. Lets say our originate commands looks like this: ACTION: Originate Async: yes Timeout: 6 Exten: callback Channel: SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Variable: destination=SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Callerid: 5551212 Context: default ActionID: 849120 Priority: 1 Asterisk first goes and dials the Channel parameter, SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is where it gets confusing. You have no control over what happens here. The actions don't even appear on the Asterisk console debug. It isn't until this party has picked up, and control jumps to the 'callback' extension, that Asterisk shows you what it is doing.

Re: [asterisk-users] A Leg Control on Asterisk Callback
Why dont you make 2 separate Originate actions, one for each call leg. Then call Bridge manager Action whenever you want.

Re: [asterisk-users] A Leg Control on Asterisk Callback
Read all the options of the Dial() function. There are options you can mess with to play something while the call is ringing (music on hold feature if I recall). Check out all the Dial options.
