I tried a lot of SIP and IAX softphones looking for ones I liked, noticing some have certain features and others did not. For things like call transfer, call park, group pick-up, line presence, and all those kinds of extras I have a bit of confusion on where it is implemented? Are these functions that Asterisk handles and the phone just "triggers" them with some out-of-band signal or DTMF sequence? Or does some of this rest on the phone itself? (Here is where I would love TFM to R. :) Just having a hard time finding what to read.) Nick -- Nick Ellson CCDA, CCNP, CCSP, CCAI, MCSE 2000, Security+, Network+ Network Hobbyist, VFR Private Pilot.

As far as I know, most of them are telephone features. And just like you have said, Asterisk features you use with DTMF. I'm looking for solution how to use phone buttons to trigger Asterisk features. So when I press "Transfer" button on phone, that he sends #1 to my Asterisk so that transfer can be completed on *.
