asterisk users - Aug 2004 - Logging into Multiple Call Queues on two * Servers and Voice Mail option.

Dear All,

I have two objectives that I need to meet;

1. I need to be able to log into two separate call queues on two different
Asterisk servers, servicing two data centers. I seem to have problems
configuring my SNOM phone to actively register with both servers. Has anyone
got a working configuration for this?

2. I need to have an option for the user to press a button when in the call
queue to go to voicemail. Has anyone got a working configuration for this?

I appreciate all the help.

Warm Regards

Shad Mortazavi

I have not implemented this exact scenario, but I have setup agents in
multiple queues.  In queues.conf you can either specify the agents that
belong to the group or use agent groups.  Since each agent can be in
multiple queues all you have to do is specify that agent in the second
queues section.  As far as getting it working with two servers all you
should have to do is use the switch => statement to forward the calls
back and forth.  Basically the agent would have to log in to both
servers, but once finished he/she could receive calls from both.  
>2. I need to have an option for the user to press a button when in the

You need to specify the context option in your queues.conf for that
queue.  When you have a context defined whatever buttons the caller hits
is sent directly to that context.  This can work very similarly to an
auto attendant where you can have them hit one to leave a message or two
to receive a callback, etc...

No Problem, I hope this qualifies.
