asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Call Waiting Audio Prompt

Hi all,
 
Hopefully you can help me.
 
I want to turn off the audio "Call Waiting" beep that plays during a
call.
 
I have found the line in the indications.conf for Call Waiting but apart from
setting the frequency to zero or the length to zero is there a proper way to
disable this functionality.
 
thanks very much
 
alex

how do you expect to get the indication that you have a callwaiting
call? The beep is a guard that hides the caller-id fsk spill also. So
you can't get callwaiting-callerid and not have a beep.

Since you haven't given me written authorization, does that mean your
disclaimer isn't legally binding either? Stupid disclaimer people.

assuming a ZAP interface, just set

callwaiting=no
callwaitingcallerid=no

in zapata.conf


Cheers,

callwaiting options in zapata.conf are ignored with my tdm
cards and the ol x100p.  I set
callwaiting,callwaitingcallerid =no, stop asterisk,unload
modules, reload tdm and zaptel, ztcfg, restart, and I still
get call waiting beeps.
Either I am daft, or its seems to be a Setgroup-Checkgroup
thing from HEAD.

The whole point is I don't want it.

I don't really need that either, users can see whos waiting on hold for
them via the web page so anything caller waiting related is fine but
only as long as it doesn't have negative impact on the call quality.

Setting the indication durations to zero has helped hugely as the sound
is far less intrusive now.

Also all of the end points are essentially SIP phones (or DECT phones
plugged into 2102's) so callerID doesn't need to be passed inbound.

I will try what Jon sugggests:

Zaptel.conf
callwaiting=no
callwaitingcallerid=no

It didn't really occur to me as was looking at configuring the SIP side.
