Hello all! I have an FXO port on a cisco router that is directly connected to our PBX. Our ATA-186 (firmware version 3) registers with asterisk, which connects to our cisco router's fxo port to give me a dialtone on our PBX from the ATA. How do I pass the flash button to the PBX? It seems the ATA-186 wants to control the flash by putting my first call on hold and prompts me to dial another extension. DTMF is fine, just can't use the native Flash functions of our PBX with the ATA-186 and asterisk. Anyone done this or know which direction to go? I've tried changing the audiomode options, but nothing helped or I didn't get the right hex-to-binary conversion right. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
I have also been trying to research this exact same problem, but as yet have not had much luck! I'm hoping there is a solution, as at the moment, it makes transfering calls to another PBX user impossible. Let me know if you find a solution!

Cool - thanks Florian. I'll give that a try. I guess there isn't a away to just pass the native flash via SIP yet? -----Original Message----- From: Florian Overkamp [mailto:florian@obsimref.com] Sent: Monday, January 19, 2004 2:30 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] ATA-186 pass-through Flash Hi,> -----Original Message----- > How do I pass the flash button to the PBX?
