[asterisk-users] Need advice on how to implement this ...
I need some advice on how to implement something in my dialplan. Here's the scenario. A call comes in on my [incoming] context and I answer it. The call turns out to be for my wife and she needs to answer it on a different handset somewhere else in the house. I've tried call parking but the wife acceptance factor is kind of low because we don't do it often enough for her to remember how to park and unpark. What I'd really like to do is define an easy DTMF sequence in features.conf (like 00) that would send the call back into my [incoming] context again, just like it was a new incoming call. Then it could be picked up anywhere in the house. What's the best way to go about this? I tried doing an AGI script that sets context/extension/priority to where I'd like for it to go but it doesn't seem to work. Am I on the right track or is there a better way to do this? -- Chris -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Have you looked into SLA? I have had good results with it. Will let asterisk act like a key system.

You could use DTMF blind transfer to transfer the call back into the dialplan. Richard -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

You can park the call, set the timeout low, and have it return to a ring group.

I decided to try this approach first and I think I have it working. However, I found a slight problem. According to the features.conf file, when a call returns to the comebackcontext, it will go to the s extension if the specific extension such as SIP_0004F2040001 does not exist. This does not seem to be the case. I've created an s extension in my [parkedcallstimeout] context but I can't make the returning call go to it. It fails with a message in the /var/log/asterisk/messages file: [2012-11-19 20:46:58] WARNING[23894][C-003e] pbx.c: Channel 'SIP/tcg-00c9' sent to invalid extension but no invalid handler: context,exten,priority=parkedcallstimeout,SIP_gigaset,1 To work around it, I had to define a specific SIP_ extension for each of my phones that might get sent to that context. Am I misunderstanding how this works? I'm running asterisk 11.0.1, so it could be a bug I suppose. Can anyone verify? -- Chris -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
