asterisk users - Jul 2005 - extension mobility and CDR logging questions

I intend to add to my asterisk system a feature similar to cisco call
manager's extension mobility so that  agents can log in to any phone
in the office and keep their profile (ex. the agent's specific
directory number). But before doing that, I need to confirm that
asterisk doesn't have a native solution for that (ex.
application/addon), and that nobody has come up with their own
solution to it.

Is it also possible for asterisk to include in the CDR any information
about the agent who made/received the call?

Ideas/suggestions are also welcome.

While I have never done this, it appears that you could use the agents.conf
to allow people to "login" to an extension and have calls forwarded to
their
current phone. The dialplan would then reference the Agent/XXX rather then
the device they are working at.

Hope that points you in the right direction.

Hi, I have one solution example, how to solve extension mobility feature 
with asterisk, this idea is from one * expert from this forum, some 
months ago... ;-)
look bellow...

Roaming Extensions - these are FUN.

; these style extensions go into your local dialplan
exten => 1005,1,DBGet(CHANNELS=CHANNELS/1005)
exten => 1005,2,Macro(roamexten,1005,${CHANNELS})

exten => _*99XXXX,1,DBGet(FOO=CHANNELS/${EXTEN:3})
exten => _*99XXXX,2,DBDel(CHANNELS/${EXTEN:3})
exten => _*99XXXX,3,Playback(extras/extension)
exten => _*99XXXX,4,SayDigits(${EXTEN:3})
exten => _*99XXXX,5,Playback(extras/disabled)
exten => _*99XXXX,6,Hangup()
exten => _*99XXXX,102,Cut(CHANRES=CHANNEL|-|1)
exten => _*99XXXX,103,DBPut(CHANNELS/${EXTEN:3}=${CHANRES})
exten => _*99XXXX,104,Playback(extras/extension)
exten => _*99XXXX,105,SayDigits(${EXTEN:3})
exten => _*99XXXX,106,Playback(extras/enabled)
exten => _*99XXXX,107,Hangup()


;this is a new macro
;if you don't use a stdexten macro, you can change that to whatever, but 
that will require a little work on your part.

[macro-roamexten]

exten => s,1,DBGet(CALLDEXTEN=CHANNELS/${ARG1})
exten => s,2,Macro(stdexten,${ARG1},${ARG2})
exten => s,102,VoiceMail(u${ARG1})



NOTE: This is version 1.  I will make a version 2 later that will allow 
you to transport your per-extension CallerID also.
