asterisk users - Aug 2004 - pbx answers after answering from analog phone

I've got the same setup at home.  When * sees an incoming call; I let it
ring my desk extension for 20 seconds.  If an analog phone picks up the
call, * hangs up the line; if nobody picks up the call it goes to the
Phone Company's voicemail before the end of the 20 seconds and * sees it
as a hangup.  I've pasted the appropriate lines from my extensions.conf
below:

exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/7007,20)

That's it.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] pbx answers after answering from analog phone


I am setting up my * for at home office and still have analog phones
attached and answer from those analog phones and not necessarily through
the pbx.  I found that with the X100P cards, they see the 2nd ring and
will be ready to answer the line.  I used a Wait to pause and allow
another 2 rings before * answers.  But found that if we answer the line
after the 2nd ring and before the 4th, * still answers and plays the
recordings.  I am able to hit # to cancel and * will hangup, but that's
a pain and not very professional<GRIN>!

The context in zapata.conf is set to lcrmainmenu, so they drop into this
menu when * answers the zap call.  I tried callprogress=yes in
zapata.conf and that generated errors and * never answers.

I am using oem X100P cards and CVS HEAD (08/06/04).

Here's the approiate portion of my extensions.conf:

exten => s,1,Wait,12 ; wait 12 seconds zap driver waits for 2 rings for

phone or 4 rings total exten => s,2,Answer ; Answer exten =>

I don't think * likes this.  I have an analog phone hooked directly to 
the line, and very frequently if I place an ougoing call from that phone 
* will pick up and go through the answer routine after the call has been 
connected for a minute or two.  This is even if the phone doesn't ring, 
just a regular outgoing call.  It just picks up the voltage I guess, and 
thinks it's a ring.

Best way to use * is to get an ATA adapter and connect your phones to 
that.  I'm having no problems connecting two phones to one port of a 
Sipura 2000 unit... you could probably get away with three or four if 
they all played nice.
