Hello All, I'm new to Asterisk/IVR and this list. I know this is the 'users' list, but the 'dev' list seems dead and this list seems to have a bit of dev related traffic, as well as some very knowledgeable members. I have a hopefully simple question: I want to create an IVR system that places outbound calls to deliver a message to clients. For example, the system places a call to a client and plays the following message: "Your delivery has arrived, it can be picked up after 3pm today". Something like that. Allow the user to have the message repeated, and then hangup. I've been looking at the Asterisk Developers Kit, is this what I should be looking at? For what I need, is the X100P more than I need? Not enough? Just right? Thanks in advance for your assistance, Tyrone -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Just > right?This was really the best place for this question. This is a asterisk use question, not developing new features. If all you need is 1 outbound call at a time then the X100P could very well be what you need. It allows you to generate calls to the PSTN. What you are requesting looks a lot like the feature of sample.call. Some outside stimulise creates a file that goes in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and asterisk sees this file and attempts to dial the line specified. At the point of answer asterisk transfers the call to a predetermined extension. This extension could be either a generic message with company name and reason for calling, or be passed into AGI to also look up information to either be pieced together from recorded samples, or use festival to make recordings on the fly. All of this can be accomplished on a X100P. If you need larger capacity, then you can think of adding more X100Ps, or start looking digital. -- Steven Critchfield <critch at basesys.com>
If you want to have a system capable of making one call at a time X100P is a good start. regards Martin On Fri, 28 Feb 2003, Tyrone Mills wrote:> Hello All, > > I'm new to Asterisk/IVR and this list.

Hi, Is it possible to route IAX traffic from 1 IAX server to several other IAX servers in a load balancing pattern. For example I have 3 terminating IAX servers in the US and I want to send all US traffic to those 3 servers equally spread? David

You would possibly tackle these in different manners. Most notably, possibly an AGI script that gathered statistics just before placing the IAX leg of the call. Almost everything is possible from AGI. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
