asterisk users - Dec 2009 - Parked Call Ringback

Hello,

 

I have enabled call parking and it works great.

 

However, when the "hold time" hits the "parkingtime", the
extension that
parked the call is called back.

 

The problem is, if that extension does not pickup the returning call, the
call gets dropped.

Is it possible to get Asterisk to automatically park the call again if the
callback isn't answered?

 

Quite often, the user who parked the call is busy on another call and can't
get to it in time when it rings back.

 

Thanks

Dan

I've got the following:

;*************************************************************************
;* If the call that was parked, fails to be answered within the 120 seconds
;* rings back to the parking extension and that extension is busy. It will
;* continue to ring until it is answered. If for whatever reason, the
;* call is rejected, it will fail on a no timeout entry in the dial plan
;* This context has been created to send the caller back into the incoming
;* context to keep from dropping the call.
