Re: [asterisk-users] Anyone Know How to Have Asterisk Work Like GranCentral and Require a Touch-Tone to Connect?
This does not do the trick, because while the voice path is not created until the digit 1 is dialed, when the first extension picks up the others stop ringing. What is needed is something where all extensions continue ringing until the digit is dialed.

FreePBX has this functionality... they call it Confirm Calls I;m not sure if you can set it on actual extensions, but I know you can set it on ring groups.

Wouldn't a answer macro do exactly what required. It should be executed before bridge, so ANSWER shouldn't be passed upon it's completed. It can read some tone from keypad, and if that confirms, continue by bridging channels. So, this should work with at least queue in ring-all mode (i feel that it would be correct if Dial would do that too) Regards, Atis -- Atis Lezdins, VoIP Project Manager / Developer, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: atis.lezdins Cell Phone: +371 28806004 Cell Phone: +1 800 7300689 Work phone: +1 800 7502835 ___ -- 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
Re: [asterisk-users] Anyone Know How to Have Asterisk Work Like GranCentral and Require a Touch-Tone to Connect?
I just took a quick look at the dialplan that freepbx uses for doing call confirmation... the dialplan part of it is actually quite simple... its just a matter of setting the USE_CONFIRMATION varialbe =TRUE. However, the actual magic looks like it happenes through its dialparties.agi... which is a little more complicated than i'd like to try and dissect on a sunday afternoon! but that might be a good place to look at how its done to learn by example. I know in the freepbx implementation what it does is whenever a handset thats part of the ringgroup answers, they get a recorded message You have an incoming call, press 1 to accept maybe it says something else too... can;t recall at the moment. The first member of the Ring group to hit 1 gets the call... if more than 1 person picks up the handset right away, the first to hit 1 gets it, and the rest hear a sorry, too late, somebody else got it-type message (no idea what it actually says).

For zap channels, you do have the c option on the dialgroup which requires that you press # before the call is connected.

Re: [asterisk-users] Anyone Know How to Have Asterisk Work Like GranCentral and Require a Touch-Tone to Connect?
How about parking the call with an announcement such as locating subscriber, please wait a monent and using app_swift, calling with then CID info read and then using a menu options in your dialplan on how to handle the call? Press 1 call app_bridge to connect the legs. Intricate, yes. but more functional than the c flag as you can add more options than simply pressing 1 or # such as forwarding the call, sending them to telemarketing hell, playing a message that you are not available and to try back later, or simply hanging up. Just a thought.
