asterisk users - Nov 2005 - Meetme: Sending DTMF to other users in a conference

Hi,

I would like to know the possibility of sending DTMF to other users in a
meetme.
I'm looking at inviting a participant from within the conference, here the
participant is another conference bridge. So we need to send PIN to this
conference bridge. How can I bypass the IVR detect menu and send DTMF to the
other participants. Does careful_write in case of frametype is
AST_FRAME_DTMF will work ?

Final aim here is to bridge asterisk's meetme and another conference bridge.
This I need to do from within the conference.

Another usage, say if we are inviting some person from within the
conference, if this lands in the company's IVr then there should be some way
to send DTMF to that IVR to reach that person.

Anybody came across such a scenario ?

Thanks,
~Vamsi

Hello,

We wrote a small AGI script to do just this. We just drop it's exten
into the conference room and pass it the digits you want played and it
will play the audio files of DTMF digits to all participants in the
meetme room. It works great for us and we've been using it for over 2
years now.

The script is part of the astGUIclient
package(http://astguiclient.sf.net) Here's a direct link to the agi
script itself:
http://astguiclient.sf.net/experimental_code/agi-dtmf.agi

; this is used for sending DTMF signals within conference calls
;    sends the digits to be played in the callerID field
;    sound files must be placed in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
exten => 8500998,1,Answer
exten => 8500998,2,AGI(agi-dtmf.agi)
exten => 8500998,3,Hangup

I use a manager API Action call to trigger the agi:
   In this example 78600051 is the exten to silently enter the meetme conf
Action: Originate
Channel: local/8500998@demo
Context: demo
Exten: 78600051
Priority: 1
Callerid: 123,,456


Hope this helps,
