Greetings list,
We recently installed some Linksys SPA962 + SPA932 sidecars into a client's
offices. The BLF functionality works fine, but call pickup using the BLF is
something of an issue.
Following the advice on voip-info.org, I configured part of their dialplan as
follows:
exten => _**2XX,1,Pickup(SIP/${EXTEN:2})
exten => _**2XX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:2},15,tw)
exten => _**2XX,n,Voicemail(${EXTEN:2}@dkm,su)
The BLFs are all registered in the form:
exten => **201,hint,SIP/201
etc.
The theory being that pressing the BLF for 201, for example, will try and pick
up any ringing call on SIP/201, then, if that fails (i.e. there's no call to
pick up), the extension will then be dialled as normal.
Problem is, Pickup() seems to die if there's no call to pick up, rather than
continue dialplan execution.
Does anyone know a way round this, or a better way of doing it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chris

When you have this installed you will see a input field for pickup code in the webif for the spa932 just put a # after the pickup code you want to use (**# should work for you) the # after the pickup code sends the configured user for this button, after the code i.E. **201 best regards -- F?r weitere Fragen stehen wir gerne unter voip at sil.at oder 059944 - 2440 zur Verf?gung.

From memory, this is an issue with Asterisk 1.2 which can be fixed by moving to 1.4 PaulH Chris Bagnall wrote:> Greetings list, > > We recently installed some Linksys SPA962 + SPA932 sidecars into a client's offices.

"I knew that!" :) but had forgotten it. Sadly, the Linksys firmware is not clever enough to load its own file: <Call_Pickup_Code group="Regional/Vertical_Service_Activation_Codes">*37</Call_Pickup_Code> <Call_Pickup_Code group="SPA932/General">*98</Call_Pickup_Code> When this is loaded, the group= parameter is ignored, and the first value is written twice, making it impossible to provision the 2nd value :( Ho hum.
