We are moving our asterisk 1.0 system to a new Asterisk @Home system (2.8) and I am the one in charge of doing it. I have run into a snag, though, on meetme conferences and with the transfer key. Regarding the transfer, it appears that both directions of all calls can transfer by pressing the # key. I do not like that ability. I would like to change it by doing 2 things: 1. Make the transfer sequence be ## rather than # I looked at the features.conf file and it didn't have an entry for blindxfer, so I added it. However, # is still the transfer character so it doesn't seem to be recognizing the settings from features.conf. 2. Not allow incoming calls to transfer at all. I've looked at the dial() string on incoming calls and they do not contain a t or T like I would expect for the channel to be able to transfer. As for the meetme conferences, the docs say that for all extensions defined, there is a meetme conference at 8<ext>. So extension 250 would have a conference at 8250. This isn't the case on our installation. I went to the Conference menu item and defined a conference at 1000 and I put an entry into the IVR for incoming callers to get into the conference and that works fine (except that after the PIN number, they cannot press # to signal the end of the PIN -- that will try a transfer). However, I don't have a way to get to the conference from an extension. I think I'm missing something, because meetme setup cannot be that difficult... Thanks for any help anyone can offer. -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot.
You will have far better luck asking this in the AAH forum or the FreePBX site. -Kerry> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of > Michael George > Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 1:42 PM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] latest @Home questions > > We are moving our asterisk 1.0 system to a new Asterisk @Home > system (2.8) and I am the one in charge of doing it. > > I have run into a snag, though, on meetme conferences and > with the transfer key. > > Regarding the transfer, it appears that both directions of > all calls can transfer by pressing the # key.

In answer to your question: The default behaviour for MeetMe changed for FreePBX: It no longer creates a conference for every extension. Rather, you have to manually create all the conferences you want on your system (using the Conferences option, as you've discovered). I suspect you're working off old A@H/AMP documentation.
