Hello Again, I was just wondering if anyone can give me a heads up regarding the possibility of identifying that a user currently in an active call is also being dialled by another extension. Does asterisk/sip issue an event that says there's a call attempting to reach you? If so, I will then use this information to update an interface which will then give the user the opportunity to put the current line on hold and take the waiting call. Is it possible to put a user on hold and take another call?

I use a soft sip phone on my Linux desktop computer called Twinkle. This supports two connections so I can toggle between two calls without Asterisk even having to know about it... If your client device only supports one "line" then Asterisk will see it as busy if it tries to route another call to it. So you would have to do something with that information in your dialplan. Whether your client could receive and act upon additional messages depends on it's capabilities. HTH Alan -- The way out is open! http://www.theopensourcerer.com
If your SIP phone supports multiple appearances for a line, you should just get another INVITE coming in while you are on your current call.> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of > Lees, James (UK) > Sent: 22 October 2007 13:40 > To: asterisk-users at lists.digium.com > Subject: [asterisk-users] Call Hold > > > Hello Again, > > I was just wondering if anyone can give me a heads up > regarding the possibility of identifying that a user > currently in an active call is also being dialled by another > extension. > > Does asterisk/sip issue an event that says there's a call > attempting to reach you?
