Hello Control,

 I want that I can set call forwarding by dialing an extension number to  turn 
 it ON or OFF.

There  are  probably  lots  of  ways to do this, and it would be worth
checking  to  see  whether  your  handset  can be programmed to do the
forwarding, which is simpler than setting up a dialplan to handle it.

I pass incoming calls to a mobile phone based on a toggle. There are
three parts to this:

[1] I have a Global Variable (MDIVERT) that holds the current Divert status.
[2] I have an extension (*70) that toggles the value of the Global variable
[3] I have a GotoIf in my incoming call handler that selects different
dial  strings depending on whether the is set or not.

I  added  a  two  voice  prompts  to  announce  the status of MDIVERT.
Dialling  *70  the first time sets the variable and dialling *70 again
unsets it.

[1] Create the Global Variable

[globals]
MDIVERT=0

[2] Toggle the variable.

exten = *70,1,Set(GLOBAL(MDIVERT)=${IF($[ ${MDIVERT} = 1]?0:1)})
exten = *70,n,GotoIf($[ $[ ${MDIVERT} = 0 ] ]?notset)
exten = *70,n,playback(divertactive)
exten = *70,n,Hangup()
exten = *70,n(notset),playback(divertinactive)
exten = *70,n,Hangup()

[3] GotoIf in call handler

exten = 100,1,GotoIf($[${MDIVERT} = 1]?divert) ; check variable
exten = 100,n,Dial(SIP/ManagerPhone,30,ctkx) ;Call your phone
exten = 100,n,Hangup()
exten = 100,n(divert),Dial(SecretaryPhone,30,ctkx)  ;  call Secretary
exten = 100,n,Hangup()

I  have  cut out a lot from the dialplan to give you an idea, but I am
sure   that   others  will  chip in with their ideas and point out the
failings in my approach :-)

What you need to do is, set a global variable from within your dialplan, to 
indicate whether you are at your desk  (meaning calls to your number should go 
to your phone)  or on lunch  (meaning calls to your number should go somewhere 
else).

And note that this really should be done by dialling separate numbers for in 
and out, because toggle actions are annoying as hell in practice -- it's 
easier to remember two different numbers, than to remember what state you are 
currently in.


If 101 is you and 102 is the person who fields your calls while you are on 
lunch, you need something like this;

;  extension 101
exten = 101,1,GotoIf($[${ON_LUNCH}] ? on_lunch : at_desk)
exten = 101,n(at_desk),Dial(SIP/101)
exten = 101,n,Hangup()
exten = 101,n(on_lunch),Dial(SIP/102)
exten = 101,n,Hangup()



; These extensions should be in some context which is only callable from 101

; extension 771 sets on lunch
exten = 771,1,Set(GLOBAL(ON_LUNCH)=1)
exten = 771,n,Playback(ajs-set_on_lunch)
exten = 771,n,Hangup()

; extension 770 sets at desk
exten = 770,1,Set(GLOBAL(ON_LUNCH)=)
exten = 770,n,Playback(ajs-set_at_desk)
exten = 770,n,Hangup()

According to NANPA's 'Vertical Service Codes, Code Definitions' 
(http://www.nanpa.com/number_resource_info/vsc_definitions.html), *72 and 
*73 are for call forwarding activation and deactivation (respectively).


Of course, the OP could use execiftime() instead and just make sure to go 
to lunch and return at the exact same time every day. The dialplan coding 
is easier and no pesky codes to remember.
