Re: [Asterisk-Users] 5 way calling?
Does this require any special changes or additions to features.conf, or does Asterisk by default know to flash the ZAP channel when *0 is pushed?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] 5 way calling?
Here's the problem - I only have 2 FXO lines. I can call one person, transfer them to the conference room then hang up. Now 1 FXO is used. I can then call another person and transfer them to the conference room and hangup. Now the BOTH lines are used. I can then dial the local extension for the conference room and I have a three way call but that's as far as I get. I've tried establishing a three way call on a single line, but then I cannot seem to transfer the call to the conference room. There's another problem as well. I have three way calling on my Bell lines, so b4 Asterisk, 3 way calls were established by pressing the Flash key and the three way call only used one line. I just discovered that when I do the same thing w/ Asterisk (press the Flash key, dial the other party, press Flash again) BOTH of my POTS lines get used up. Any ideas on what's wrong w/ my configuration? Thanks, Hugh On 8/16/05, Kris Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As far as quality of meetme, that depends a lot on your setup.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] 5 way calling?
As far as quality of meetme, that depends a lot on your setup. I've had 2 zaps and 3 sips and the quality was perfect. So if you're talking about 5 people all on zap channels, I think you'll be satisfied. If you're not, there are a couple of third party apps on the wiki you could try. (for the record, I've never had a meetme conference in which there were four users on two zap channels 3 wayed, but I suppose * wouldn't really care about the 3 way part of things... just dump them into the same room and everyone should be able to talk. (The only thing I can think of is that the users 3-wayed would not be able to use dtmfs to control themselves, but rather they would control both users on that channel.. so, you couldn't have an admin and a user on the same zap channel, or you couldn't mute just one of the two since * would see them as the same person)) On 8/16/05, Eric Wieling aka ManxPower <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hugolivude wrote: > > I'm running RedHat 9 with a TDM400 (2FXO, 2FXS). > > > > Before I implemented Asterisk, some users were using Bell services to > > set-up 5 way calling: The user would set up a three way call on one > > line, switch to the second line, set up another 3 way call and then > > link the two lines together with the Flash key, thus establishing a 5 > > way call (the user, 2 others on line 1, another 2 on line 2).

RE: [Asterisk-Users] 5 way calling?
Hugh, Meetme works great, yes you should definitely do this. One of the main reasons I use asterisk at home is for running many conference calls each day.

Before I implemented Asterisk, some users were using Bell services to set-up 5 way calling: The user would set up a three way call on one line, switch to the second line, set up another 3 way call and then link the two lines together with the Flash key, thus establishing a 5 way call (the user, 2 others on line 1, another 2 on line 2). How can I accomplish the same thing w/ Asterisk? You transfer each call into the same MeetMe conference. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
