[Asterisk-Users] Polycom Intercom - almost there

Ok so I added to my Freepbx config running Asterisk 1.2.4 in
extensions_custom.conf

 

; intercom

exten => _7XXX,1,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Auto Answer)

exten => _7XXX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1},12,Tt)

 

and configured my Polycoms via this page
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Polycom+auto-answer+config for auto
answer and that works fine if I dial 7 then the 3 digit extension.

 

No problems, the receiving end answers automatically and everything
works great.

 

However, since we are migrating from a key system I would like to have
one of the hard buttons, say the 3rd line key in a 501 for example to
automatically initiate the "7" so the user only has to enter in the
extension and it automatically does the intercom style feature, thus
saving a key press.

 

I can easily set the 3rd line key to generate dial tone:

 

In sip.conf

 

   <keys key.scrolling.timeout="1"
key.IP_500.33.function.prim="Handsfree"/>

 

That makes a dialtone and I can dial as normal however I would like to
put the 7 in there automatically so they just have to dial.  The
subPoint.prim function is an integer that references an array value so
that won't work.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?  Just trying to keep the number of button
presses to a minimum.

 

 

Bill

Bill,

	How about creating a special SIP user for line 3:

sip.conf:
[int]
username: int
context: int
blah blah blah

	It doesn't have to (and shouldn't) register.

extensions.conf:

[int]
exten -> _XXX,1,Goto(phones,7${EXTEN},1) ; make sure this context is ; 
;right.

The number of button presses would be the same though:

1. Pick up the phone, dial 7 3 0 0 (four buttons)
2. Hit line 3, dial 3 0 0 (four buttons)

You could configure the line 3 button as a Speed Dial to a prompt that 
asks for an extension. Then, it pages that extension, perhaps.

If you use background(), it could be as quick as pressing the button and 
immediately dialling the extension.

Just some ideas. :)

Well if I recall correctly, subPoint.prim would be the index of the 
speed dial entry to dial when function.prim=="SpeedDial"

i.e. if in the directory you've got
<item>
  <fn>Dial 7</fn>
  <ct>7</ct>
  <sd>1</sd>
</item>

and function.prim="SpeedDial" and subPoint.prim="1" then...
it might
work.  But, I'm not sure how integrated this is to the polycom 
dialplan.digitmap part, meaning I wonder if it will send the 7 to * or 
wait for you to enter more numbers and hit send....   you'll have to 
find out and tell us :)

I see what you mean.  I am having one too many beers and trying to
decipher the FreePBX config files right now :)

But I can see how this will work...so I will give it a shot!

This worked great.

I made an extension 10000 in context "intercom" and set my custom Goto
statement there (first added the SIPHeader mod)

[intercom]
exten => _XXX,1,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Auto Answer)
exten => _XXX,2,Goto(from-internal,7${EXTEN},1)

and added that extension (and had it not register) and it worked fine!
