Hello All, My Asterisk server is working fine except that at night I forward my number to another phone number, however my asterisk server still rings once before call is forward. My Local Phone provider is ATT and they said that there is not way around it, I'm always going to get a partical ring. Any suggestions how to stop the Asterisk from rining once before forward to another number? I'm using Centos 6.2 Asterisk 1.8 & Duhdi 4 anolog line connected to my Asterisk Server. Thanks, Motty

Otherwise there's no way for Asterisk to know it is ringing. Why don't you just forward it using the phone company's call forwarding service? -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I haven't tested it for a while, but, I'm pretty sure that if your PBX is not told to ring a device before forwarding the call, it should not do so. I do recall having worked in a non-PBX office , and when we performed CFWD, the local phone would ring once and then get forwarded, but, that's because the local phone never took control of the call coming from the carrier. In your case , the PBX can take over the call, never produce a ring , and then dial the CFWD number. I guess a trace of this instance can be useful . Guy Gold
