This may be obvious but I have not found the answer in the archives or web searching. I am in the process of transitioning to Asterisk. While I have two systems connected to the same PSTN line, I want to configure Asterisk to not answer an incoming call. Is this a setting that you would have in the zapata.conf file? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Is this a setting that you would have in the zapata.conf file?Give the zapata.conf entry a non-existant context (and ensure it does not fail over to some default context). The "answer" occur because of entries in the extensions.conf context, not because of what is specified in zapata.conf. So, if nothing exists in the extensions.conf to answer incoming calls, it won't answer. Or, create a context that matches an entry in extensions.conf, but in the dialplan entries, have something like: [inbound-home] exten => s,1,NoOp,${CALLERID} exten => s,2,Dial(${PHONE3}&${PHONE4}) which will cause two sip phones to ring forever (or until the pstn line is answered by an analog phone, or until the caller hangs up).
