Hello all, is it possible to define a pilot number in asterisk, say I have 3 direct lines and I want one of those direct lines to be used as pilot number? When that number is contacted it will be redirected to the available zap and original zap that receive it will be freed to receive another call. It can only be used when all 2 lines ares used. Thanks. Lito -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20070326/04b27c0f/attachment.htm

This is a telco feature as opposed to an Asterisk feature. Here in Bell Canada country they call it "Ringer Equivalence". Call your local carrier and they should be able to tell you what they call it in their marketing world. You tell the telco which lines you want the calls to "roll" to then all three will terminate calls to the pilot number. Now it doesn't work exactly as you had described - it doesn't move the call so as to free up the first port. It merely says the first port is busy and terminates the next call on the next port in sequence. This means you can't count on which line is "available" at any time. For outbound, you need to put the three lines in an Asterisk group and test the group for availability to select an available line to dial out on. dbc. -- David Cook

No it cannot be done with Asterisk or any PBX. It can only be configured on the telco side. Yuan Liu
