asterisk users - Apr 2005 - How to turn off automatic pick up for Incoming calls A@H v0.6

I currently use another PBX system which takes care of VM. Is there a
way to prevent Asterisk@Home v0.6  from picking up Incoming calls? 
I'd still like to dial out from Asterisk (I have IAX trunking on).  Is
there a way to do this? My knowledge of the Extensions.conf is
limited.

I'm using Asterisk@Home v0.6. so the conf files were automatically
generated and I'm not sure what I should be deleting... or adding.

Look up the answer command on the wiki.

Regards

Cameron

Go in AMP, click on "Maintenance" then "Config Edit"

Click on "zapata-channels.conf" and locate the channel that is your
incoming line. For the context of this line, put
"context=from-pstn-noanswer".

Then, go in "extensions_custom.conf" and define that context like this
:
[from-pstn-noanswer]
exten => s,1,Wait,2   ; Wait 2 seconds, to get callerid
exten => s,2,Hangup

This will let your CDR grab the caller ID, then it will hangup, so it
won't answer the line.
If you don't want the Caller ID, just define it like this :
[from-pstn-noanswer]
exten => s,1,Hangup
