asterisk users - Oct 2009 - How to call extensions and add them to a conference room

Greetings,

I have created simple conferencing solution before using meetme application,
but this times its a little tricky.

My client needs a functionality to call multiple extensions to join a
conference room. Extensions will ring like in a ring group, and on pick up,
user will be either automatically added to the conference room, or maybe
I'll program them to enter 9 to accept and 8 to reject the invitation.

I need a starting point to start writing this dialplan. Any advise on what
applications and commands I can use to accomplish this would be highly
appreciated.

Thanks,

This one is pretty simple.  You just need to set up two contexts.  Context 1
will answer and connect to your room

[answerandgo]

-          exten => s,1,answer

-          exten => s,2,meetme(100,options)

-          exten => s,3,playback(vm-goodbye)

-          exten => s,4,hangup

 

context 2 will answer and play a message, then do IVR function

[askandgo]

-          exten => s,1,answer

-          exten => s,2,background(greeting)

-          exten => s,3,waitexten(10,m)

-          exten => s,4,playback(vm-goodbye)

-          exten => s,5,hangup

-          exten => 9,1,meetme(100,options)

-          exten => 9,2.goto(askandgo,s,4)

-          exten => 8,1,playback(rejected)

-          exten => 8,2,goto(askandgo,s,4)

 

Then do an AMI or call file to call your extension/number and start the
appropriate context.
