We're using Grandstream GXP-2000 with programmed buttons to the first 5 parking lot extensions. When a call is parked, whichever parking lot extension it's parked on lights up red. We've never used the "announce" part and I'm wondering if there's an option I can't seem to find to disable the announce so the transfer happens faster.

In the basic settings, I setup the Multi-Purpose Key to use Asterisk BLF and assigned it the parking lot extension (201 in our case, 701 by default iirc). I then added hints in the extensions.conf for the parking lot extensions: exten => 201,hint,park:201@parkedcalls exten => 201,1,Wait(1) exten => 201,2,ParkedCall(201) Of course in features.conf I've defined the context as parkedcalls (context => parkedcalls). Hope this helps, it took a lot of piecing together other examples to get it to come together so let me know if you need more help. ________________________________ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 1:59 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Park & No Announce?

I suppose I could create an extension that just answers and hangs up to get rid of the warning messages.
No, this is a pretty plain vanilla setup, never touched BRIStuff. My
features.conf (which defines the parkandannounce app) looks like:
[general]
parkext => 200 ; What extension to dial to park
parkpos => 201-210 ; What extensions to park calls on.
These needs$
; numeric, as Asterisk starts from the
start po$
; and increments with one for the next
parked c$
context => parkedcalls ; Which context parked calls are in
parkingtime => 75 ; Number of seconds a call can be parked
for

So are you running BRIStuff for this to work?

Ken,
Just curious, how did you make the Granstream's lights light up
when someone is parked?

The problem isn't on the outside phone, it's on the inside. An outside caller already gets MOH immediately, the problem comes in waiting for the "TRANSFER" to complete. What we're doing to park a call is hitting TRNF on the GXP-2000 followed by 200 (the park extension). The phone then says 'TRANSFERRING' and waits 2-3 seconds before saying TRANSFER SUCCESSFUL. The time that it's waiting is exactly how long it takes the system to say TWO ZERO ONE. I'd like to disable the Announce part so it just transfers. Hope that's a little clearer. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Paul Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 2:31 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Park & No Announce?

That extension answers and hangs up. The calls park and MOH starts immediately. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
