I'm sure this has came up in the past, and I've looked for it, probably just didn't know what it's called, but I digress. Let's say we have a company with two locations, A and B, both locations have PSTN connections through asterisk with analog handsets. IAX2 channels in both directions are configured between the two * boxen. A call comes in through PSTN in A. Extension 101 in A picks up the call, and then transfers it to x. 201 in B. So far, no problem. IAX2 is used to bridge the call across two locations. So x.201 in B is happily chatting with some client from A and decides to transfer the call back to x 101 in A. Here's where the trouble starts for me. When that second transfer is made, the * box in B tries to handle it by forming another IAX2 connection back to A. This results in unbearable call quality for somewhat obvious reasons. It seems like what should happen is a message from * B to * A to transfer the PSTN initiated call to A's local extension, and it seems that this functionality has to be in place. I know I can do that through FOP, assuming I'm connected to A's FOP in B. Is there any way to configure the dialplan to have * behave that way? I would call that a "smart" transfer. I know I have to be missing something.. Anyone care to point me in the right direction? Thanx in advance. ** *** **** Peter A.
