asterisk users - Feb 2005 - I need to dial multiple numbers concurently but with delays.

I have let's say a reception that is comprised of 2 zap extensions and a
mobile phone to dial using ISDN through Capi.
I want to have a delay before starting dialing the mobile phone so that it rings
only when the call has been unanswered for say 25 seconds.
I tried to use Capi/2106994444:ww6935555555 but without any success.

There is any way to do it or the code has to be modified ?

Thanks

Not yet, no, but I'm working on this enhancement.

For now you can just use two Dial() statements, one after the other. The 
downside to this is that there is a very short moment where no outbound 
call will be active, so if the person tries to answer at exactly that 
moment they may not get the call.

Hmm...

exten => 555,1,Dial(Capi/2106994444&Local/555cell)

exten => 555cell,1,Wait(25)
exten => 555cell,2,Dial(Capi/6935555555)

I have never done this but I imagine that would solve your problem.

Pretty imaginative! Yes, that should work.

I did the same thing, only I ring 3 phones at once and then my cell,
dropping back to my system VM if I don't answer my cell.

Here is how I did it:


I applied some variables  to make it easer:

RJSVMEXT=2377
RJSWORK=2377
RJSDESK=2378
RJSLAPTOP=2379
RJSHOME=2380
RJSCELL=18585551212

I created the macro to do the dialing:


[macro-stdexten_cell]
; ARG1 = Welcome Message to play
; ARG2 = Phones to Ring
; ARG3 = Cell Phone Number

; Ring any phone passed to the macro for 15 seconds with 
; music background, then ring my cell phone for 15 seconds
; then back to system vmail if no answer.

exten => s,1,Playback(${ARG1})
exten => s,2,Dial(${ARG2},15,rtm)
exten => s,3,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => s-NOANSWER,1,Dial(IAX2/iblahblah@NuFone/${ARG3},15,rtm)
exten => s-NOANSWER,2,Voicemail(u${MACRO_EXTEN})
exten => s-BUSY,1,Voicemail(b${MACRO_EXTEN})
exten => s-.,1,Goto(s-NOANSWER,1)
exten => a,1,VoicemailMain(${MACRO_EXTEN})


Then I created the extension entry:

exten =>
${RJSWORK},1,Macro(stdexten_cell,sears_welcome,SIP/${RJSWORK}&SIP/${RJSDESK}&SIP/${RJSLAPTOP}&SIP/${RJSHOME},${RJSCELL})



Hope this helps.
