Hi, Can someone please post a sample config (oss.conf, extensions.conf, etc.) of what is necessary to use the soundcard in the Asterisk server to do overhead paging? Thank you. Travis Microserv
Been learning * now for a couple of weeks and have all basic features running including VM, MoH, FX lines, iaxtel, and FWD. However, I seem to be lacking documentation on a lot of technical things and am wondering if I overlooked something that is obvious to others. (I do have the Handbook, have been doing a fair amount of google searches, and read the README.* files.) Examples, Where should I have learned that *8# is the call pickup dialing sequence? Other then *8#, are there other preprogrammed sequences (I assume there is) in a stock * implementation? Where should I have learned about the "t" and "r" in: exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/3000,20,tr) and all the other possible options in various * config statements? Rich

Go there, and you'll find a good reference on all the applications you use in extension.conf and references to other sites as well. It you discover stuff like the ones you have found undocumented, please help us document them on the Wiki. I'm sure that the documentation team writing the Asterisk handbook will pick them up from the Wiki to the next edition of the handbook. A wiki is a user community resource kit. Many on the list have added information, I've tried to edit to keep a consistent look and feel. You're welcome! /Olle

I didn't know about any of them until James Sizemore posted this handy list on Sept.8: *0# sends flash *8# remote call pickup (pickup phone in your group) *67# disable caller id *70# no call waiting *78# do not disturb on *79# do not disturb off *72# enable call forwarding *73# disable call forwarding *82# enable callerid All news to me. :) I do a lot of google searching on the Asterisk archives: http://www.google.com/custom?sitesearch=lists.digium.com> Where should I have learned about the "t" and "r" in: > exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/3000,20,tr) > and all the other possible options in various * config statements?The first thing I try is "show application Dial" or somesuch. Then go grep for the application in the sample config directory to see every instance of how it's used in an example. Then look at the source. It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out the LEADING arguments to Goto() are optional.. it's a bit "backwards": Goto(context,extension,priority) Goto(extension,priority) Goto(priority) It wasn't my first guess, so my menus were all wacky. There are some inconsistencies that will probably work themselves out over time, like the whole: App,arg1,arg2 App(arg1|arg2) App(arg1,arg2) I can't quite figure out if some things still *require* the vertical pipe, like going to another extensions: 400 => Goto(139343234|1) All in all, the best resources have been this list and the handbook. Working examples are the best.. a 'cookbook' would be awesome. -Steve
