[asterisk-users] Make Asterisk server initiate a Call
Dear All, We need to do the following crazy scenario which is really stupid but wanted :-((, I need to make the sip server initiate a call on zap channels and once the phone answers, it should play an IVR and according to the choice of the called he will be moved to other extensions, we plan to make an e-mail to trigger that call but I only need to know what commands be used to make the server initiate a call ? I have found some people saying they have done something of this sort but no specific details on configuration, and some talk about a problem in making sure if the call is answered on the other side or not, your help will be very much appreciated. -- Thx MAG -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you're going to do this in volume on a particular server, you'll likely want to use the Manager Originate action vs. the .call file. -- Bird's The Word Technologies, Inc. http://www.btwtech.com/
