I have a simple asterisk install (1.4.18), and want to use call parking. I can successfully park a call (I see on the CLI that the call is parked to 701). Everything is pretty default. However, I can't pickup a call from another phone. When I dial 701 from a phone, asterisk can't find that extensions and notifies the person picking up that the extension doesn't exist. (It appears that asterisk is looking for extension 701 in my dialplan). Any idea what is wrong? It seems like one of those RTFM questions...but I've checked the wiki and don't see the problem. -=Ben=-

This parkedcalls context isn't one you create in your dialplan... it's one that's created in memory when features.conf is parsed. -- Jared Smith Community Relations Manager Digium, Inc.
Did you pay attention to the following bit? ----------8><----------------snip For simple dialplans first edit features.conf as desired, then put this into your extensions.conf <http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+config+extensions.conf>: include => parkedcalls ----------8><----------------snip Michelle Dupuis wrote:> I have a simple asterisk install (1.4.18), and want to use call parking.
