[Asterisk-Users] Inband announcement of parking slot from app_parkandannounce?
I'm trying to use Asterisk app_parkandannouce to build a global parking pool from within a couple of Norstar PBXes. Right now I can blind transfer calls into the parking lot, but the slot announcement relies on calling back the 'transferee' after the call is parked and I can't pass enough callerid data out from within the PBX to be able to route the call back in (ie. no PRI facility, just cT1). With the Norstar a two-step transfer (Feature-70) can be performed where the caller is placed on hold while the 'trasferee' converses with the 'transfer target' and eventually 'joins' the caller and the target. This would permit the 'transferee' to hear the slot announcement before joining the caller to the asterisk system. So, the question becomes: How do I structure my extensions.conf to convince app_parkandannounce to play it's message on the incoming channel rather than using dialback? Have I simply missed a switch somewhere, or will I have to use some sort of meetme bridge configuration to short-circut the incoming call with the announcement? I sense that this might be related at least in part to the occasional requests to the list for app_park to pass back the results in a ${PARKEDSLOT} varable. Any suggestions considered...
