asterisk users - May 2007 - Originate and bridge Can it be done? Best Way?

Hi,
Im new, but trying real hard! I just need general direction, not
details yet..i'll try to figure those...just looking to avoid brick
walls...bottlenecks...inefficiencies etc upfront.

Hardware:
motorola vt2442 - trixbox

Apps:
Dot Net application that operates the Manager API and the FASTAGI
interfaces.

I have the 2442 set as a PLAR so as soon as the ext is off-hook, it
dials into the *61 dial-plan.

This is what I want to happen:

Ext goes off-hook
vt2442 PLAR auto-dials *61
*61 dial-plan gets some info from the inside user

Need help for everything below:
inside user is put on hold..queued or parked or put in a conf???

Sep call is originated to an outside line
If call answered some info is gathered from the outside party
outside party is joined to inside party.

I am willing to use any or all of a combo of the following:
Manager API
FASTAGI
dial-plans
.call files

or anything else!!
The Manager/FastAGI application can perform any action required.

thanks in advance!

-Henry

The way that I can think of would be to create a context or add an 
extension in your outward context to call an AGI that would solicit the 
info you need and then push you into a conference.

Then issue a .call file to call the other party, gather your info and 
then pop them into the same conference.  Store the data gathered by each 
caller in the AstDB or another db like FirebirdSQL or MySQL.

You indicated that your .net classes have a Manager implementation. 
Creating a call should be fairly easy using the Manager API originate:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+Manager+API+Action+Originate

I wrote a built-in object into AsterPas to do call files which is just 
an abstraction of the System Command implemented in a FastAGI server:
http://www.datatrakpos.com/pos/datatalk/asterpas.aspx

There are some script/code samples on the site that may be useful in 
implementing that kind of thing through whichever .net abstraction layer 
you are using.  Pascal is not that different from C#...

hi guys, is it possible to do a basic 3-or-more-way
conference call when the phones dont support it? I am
fully aware of this concept on expensive phones like
this one:

Grandstream GXP 2000 -Conference call 3-way
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlZ6JqE1MT4

The problem is that the basic plain old commercial PBX
supports 3-way calling in ugly old phones like this
one:

http://www.neo-shop.com/tiendas/0009/varios/telefono%20TEIDE-1.jpg

connected to an ata like this one:

http://www.egk.com.ar/imagenes/hardware/sipura2.jpg

The idea is to be caller (A): dial calle (B), once (B)
answers press on HOOK or something else to send them
to MOH, then dial callee (C), talk to him a little
too, then press the same HOOK or something else and
the 3, (A)(B) and (C) in a conference call.

Unlike the grandstream, this would definitelly have to
be done by *, isnt this part of the basic
functionality like voicemail that is already done and
a couple lines in the config files it will work on all
phones done by *?

if not, then, how do you recommend me to it? 

the closest I have seen to shat I am looking for is

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Dynamic+conferences+macro

is there a better alternative?

any thoughts?

thanks a lot!

Seems like you are talking about "attended transfer" here?

It would work on zaptel interfaces.

A and B are talking. A flashes hook, gets dialtone, B would hopefully
get dialtone.

A then dials C. C answers, and A and C talk. B is still on hold.

A flashes hook again. Now A, B, and C can talk together.

Any member of the party (A, B, or C) can hang up, and leave the other
two conversing.

Is that what you are thinking of?
