asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Creating conference calls from within Astman.

Dear All,

I have a requirement to 'originate' a number of calls to various
external
users from within a conference room, so that the end users does not pay for
the call.

I know that within Astman I can define an extension and then originate the
call from that extension. Can I define a conference room (how would I
configure that on astman? What channel would it use?) and then generate a
number of calls from within the conference room?

Thanks for all your help.

Dear All,

I sent this question a while back and was wondering if this was possible?

Thanks

Shad

Thanks for this information.

Can this be done from within Gastman as well?

Warm Regards

Sorry about my earlier e-mail. (:blush:), should have included the history.

Can this be done from within Gastman?

Warm Regards

I was incorporating this functionality into the Flash Operator Panel.
In the panel I do it by using the Local channel. Suppose that you want to
call the number 555-5555, and your context for dialing out is 'dialout'.
You
also have another context 'conferences' with extension number 1000 that
fires up a meetme.

The originate command for astman should look like:

Action: Originate
Channel: Local/5555555@dialout
Exten: 1000
Context: conferences
Priority: 1

It will dial the number 5555555 as if it were dialed from the dialout
context and connect the call to Extension 1000 in 'conferences'
context.

This feature is already implemented and working in the next to be released
version of the flash panel (but now it will only dial numbers predefined in
the panel itself). You can get it from http://www.asternic.org
