Re: [asterisk-users] Changing contexts on the fly
Hi,
Many thanks all for the useful tips - I've gone with a (simple!) mySQL table
with a flag in it, indicating the day/night mode, adding the following into
the dialplan:
[external]
; other stuff in here, excluded for clarity
; Include the SJS phone line controls
include = sjs_ctrl
[sjs_ctrl]
; Determine if we're in or out of the office, and divert accordingly
; Note - callerID is set because it doesn't get it from the line :(
exten = s,1,NoOp(-- ${CALLERID(number)} calling on ZAP channel)
exten = s,2,Set(CALLERID(number)=unknown)
exten = s,3,Set(CALLERID(name)=SJS Line 1)
exten = s,4,MYSQL(Connect connid db_server login_id super_secret_password
db_name)
exten = s,5,MYSQL(Query resultid ${connid} SELECT\ currentStatus\ FROM\
myStatus)
exten = s,6,MYSQL(Fetch fetchid ${resultid} MyStatus)
exten = s,7,MYSQL(Clear ${resultid})
exten = s,8,MYSQL(Disconnect ${connid})
exten = s,9,GotoIf($[${MyStatus} = y]?10:12)
exten = s,10,GoTo(sjs,s,1)
exten = s,12,Goto(sjs-ooh,s,1)
[sjs]
exten = s,1,NoOp(-- ${CALLERID(number)} calling on ZAP channel)
exten = s,n,Set(CALLERID(number)=unknown)
exten = s,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=SJS Line 1)
exten = s,n,Dial(SIP/5100,30)
exten = s,n,Answer()
exten = s,n,Wait(0.75)
exten = s,n,Voicemail(5100,u)
exten = s,n,Hangup()
[sjs-ooh]
exten = s,1,Answer()
exten = s,n,Wait(0.75)
exten = s,n,Playback(thank-you-for-calling [etc - lots more soundfiles
here])
exten = s,n,Voicemail(5100,s)
exten = s,n,Hangup()
Then, in the internal extensions config, I've added the following:
; Switch SJS day/night modes
;Daytime (star star D)
exten = **3,1,NoCdr()
exten = **3,n,Answer()
exten = **3,n,MYSQL(Connect connid db_server login_id super_secret_password
db_name)
exten = **3,n,MYSQL(Query resultid ${connid} UPDATE\ myStatus\ SET\
currentStatus\ = \ \'n\')
exten = **3,n,MYSQL(Clear ${resultid})
exten = **3,n,MYSQL(Disconnect ${connid})
exten = **3,n,Playback(daytime)
exten = **3,n,Hangup()
;Nighttime (star star N)
exten = **6,1,NoCDR()
exten = **6,n,Answer()
exten = **6,n,MYSQL(Connect connid db_server login_id super_secret_password
db_name)
exten = **6,n,MYSQL(Query resultid ${connid} UPDATE\ myStatus\ SET\
currentStatus\ = \ \'n\')
exten = **6,n,MYSQL(Clear ${resultid})
exten = **6,n,MYSQL(Disconnect ${connid})
exten = **6,n,Playback(nighttime)
exten = **6,n,Hangup()
So I can switch between day night modes with **D or **N (3 or 6
respectively) :) Dead simple stuff so far, I may get more whizzy with it
later on... At some point, I'll probably switch over to a fully realtime
config, so I can DIY my own user interface.
Cheers!
Ade.

Re: [asterisk-users] Changing contexts on the fly
Another option to you might just be easier. Does your PBX ring your
desk phone for a while and then move on to IVR/auto-attendant? If it
already does, do you have a DoNotDisturb button on your phone? That's
pretty straightforward.
The way we do the switch thing is as follows:
exten = *6,1,GotoIf($[${DB(night/enabled)} = 1]?2:102)
exten = *6,2,Set(oldval=${DB_DELETE(night/enabled)})
exten = *6,3,System(rm /home/pbx/night_mode)
exten = *6,4,Playback(hcllc-nightmode-off)
exten = *6,5,Hangup
exten = *6,102,Set(DB(night/enabled)=1)
exten = *6,103,System(touch /home/pbx/night_mode)
exten = *6,104,Playback(hcllc-nightmode-on)
exten = *6,105,Hangup
Then, in my incoming from PSTN context, I check like this:
...
exten = s,6,GotoIf($[${DB(night/enabled)} = 1]?7:107)
exten = s,7,Goto(attendant-closed,s,1)
exten = s,107,Dial(${RECEPTIONIST},15,tw)
exten = s,108,Dial(${RECEPTIONIST_AND_MOJO},10,tw)
exten = s,109,Goto(attendant-open,s,1)
*6 is for *N, for people to remember (N)ight mode. In my *6 extension,
I create a mutex in a sense, the file called 'night_mode' in /home/pbx
-- this lets me determine if night mode is enabled via external systems,
like those written in PHP for a webpage or something else for a shell
script, maybe as a cron schedule that rings your desk to remind you that
night mode is still on... It is not needed for my incoming context;
that context uses the astdb.

What's the panel's opinion on the best way to do this?
For info:
Asterisk 1.4.5 running on Ubuntu 7.04
Digium-compatible AX100P card providing connection to POTS line
(this is the one that needs controlling)
2 SIP extensions (Grandstream GXP2000)
Numerous SIPGATE lines (these are configured as I like them already)
Much appreciated in advance.
Cheers,
Ade.

Now, add a flag that allows your calls to be routed as either: 1. Default - route according to the schedule 2. Open - give me the calls, to heck with the time 3. Closed - leave me alone. Yes, I know what time it is, but I don't care. Put this before the GotoIfTime stuff, and it can override however you'd like. We did this, but added a few fancy things, like ClosedForHurricane mode. It allows us to record a message as to which dates patients have been rescheduled to, says the time of the last update, and a few other goodies. Have fun with it. You can do just about anything you can dream of. Except solve the halting problem. Ah well... ___ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
