Hello list, I was looking for a way to implement non-blind call transfers with *, i.e. the usual behaviour of most PBXs when pressing the flash button: - A and B are talking - A pushes flash - A is free to compose a new number - B hears music on hold - A's call is answered by C - A hangs up - B and C are in conversation As much as I can understand, * only supports blind transfers, where if C does not answer the phone there is no way for A to get back to B. Is there a way to have a standard flash behaviour? Thanks l. -- Creato con M2, il rivoluzionario client e-mail di Opera: http://www.opera.com/m2/
This should be a very nice option!, I have seen many requests now for the supervised transfers. Are there some users that have a solution (work-around) for this? Does anyone know if and when this option comes available? Or can we write a plug-in to inplement this future? lenz wrote:> Hello list, > I was looking for a way to implement non-blind call transfers with *, > i.e. the usual behaviour of most PBXs when pressing the flash button: > - A and B are talking > - A pushes flash > - A is free to compose a new number > - B hears music on hold > - A's call is answered by C > - A hangs up > - B and C are in conversation > > As much as I can understand, * only supports blind transfers, where if > C does not answer the phone there is no way for A to get back to B.

I have not done it, I'm just thinking out loud here. -A.

However there is a patch by anthm (real name) in the Digium bug database (bug number 0002460, http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0002460 ) that provides this functionality for the CVS version, and some of the older patches there are usable with the 1.0.1 version of *.
Does anyone know if that patch now works with chan_agent.c ? -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Arvanitis Kostas Sent: 10 November 2004 15:01 To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] non blind call transfers On Friday 29 October 2004 23:17, lenz wrote:> Hello list, > I was looking for a way to implement non-blind call transfers with *, > i.e. the usual behaviour of most PBXs when pressing the flash button: > - A and B are talking > - A pushes flash > - A is free to compose a new number > - B hears music on hold > - A's call is answered by C > - A hangs up > - B and C are in conversation > > As much as I can understand, * only supports blind transfers, where > if C does not answer the phone there is no way for A to get back to > B.

Is there > a way to have a standard flash behaviour? >The above is exactly what happens with my system - I've not done anything special (ie patches) to make this happen. I can do attended transfers by simply doing 'flash' while in a call, dial the new number and talk, press flash again and hang up. It works perfectly for me :) pressing # while in a call allows blind transfers. Jon
