asterisk users - Jan 2007 - Pickup() ringing extension and call waiting

Hi All,

I'm using Asterisk 1.2.14 under openSuSE 10.2 with kernel 2.6.18. I have 
Wildcard TDM400P card and D-Link DPH-120S and DPH-140S SIP phones. I would 
like to be able to pickup ringing extention from any SIP phone using Pickup() 
application. 

from my dial plan:

[incoming]
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/somebody1|60|tTrR)


[internal]
include => outbound-local
include => parkedcalls

exten => 200,1,Dial(SIP/somebody1|20|tTrR)
exten => 201,1,Dial(SIP/somebody2|20|tTrR)
exten => 202,1,Dial(SIP/somebody3|20|tTrR)

exten => _8.,1,Pickup(${EXTEN:1})

[outbound-local]
ignorepat => 9
exten => _9XXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN:1}|60|tT)
exten => _9XXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN:1}|60|tT)
exten => _9ZXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN:1}|60|tT)


When there is incoming call and extension 200 rings, I press 8200 to pickup a 
call and I get disconnected.

here is debug from asterisk CLI:

 ? ?-- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/3-1'
 ? ?-- Executing Dial("Zap/3-1", "SIP/somebody1|60|tTrR") in
new stack
 ? ?-- Called somebody1
 ? ?-- SIP/somebody1-081bea58 is ringing
 ? ?-- Executing Pickup("SIP/somebody3-081b3cd8", "200") in
new stack
 ?== Spawn extension (internal, 8200, 1) exited non-zero
 on 'SIP/somebody3-081b3cd8'


Also,

Call waiting seems to not work. While having a conversation I hear
"beep" in
my phone but the M2 (second line) button doesn't blink so I can not pickup 
second call and put first one on hold.

from my zapata.conf:

[channels]
signalling=fxs_ks

echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
echotraining=400

rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0

callerid=asreceived
usecallerid=no
hidecallerid=no

threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
callwaiting=yes
cancallforward=yes

;;hanguponpolarityswitch
busydetect=yes
faxdetect=both

group=1
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
context=incoming
channel => 3
;;channel => 4 ;; no line yet



Any ideas?


Thank you in advance,


	Dominik

Pickup works on a channel, not on an extension number, so in the above
example you effectively execute
  Pickup(200)
but need to have mapped the 200 so that you do
  Pickup(SIP/somebody1)

<disclaimer>I have never used D-Link SIP phones</disclaimer>

Where there is only one SIP registration on the phone, Asterisk cannot
have any control over the presentation of lights on the phone - This
is entirely up to the handset to manage.

One potential workaround is to provide multiple SIP logins (one per
line) and arrange for asterisk to call the second line if the first is
busy (use incoming_limit SIP settings perhaps?). This may or may not
have the desired effect on that phone model.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Dominik!

Information's on that page are wrong. Read this:

pbx*CLI> show application Pickup
pbx*CLI>
  -= Info about application 'Pickup' =-

[Synopsis]
Directed Call Pickup

[Description]
  Pickup(extension[@context]): This application can pickup any ringing channel
that is calling the specified extension. If no context is specified, the current
context will be used.

So, if application Pickup isn't in same context with Dial which you are
trying to pickup, then you have to specify context.

Hope this helps.
