I just tried this in my extensions.conf exten => **,1,Noop(Testing) exten => **,n,Playback(demo-congrats) Did a reload... and the above does not happen. I created as 12 instead of the ** and that works fine. Is there anyway to get the ** to work? I also am using a polycom phone if that affects things. I'm using asterisk 13.15.0 Thanks Jerry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm using asterisk 13.15.0Coincidentally, this is exactly how I exercise test code: ; test something ; (changes frequently) exten = **,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}!${ANI}]) same = n, answer() I use an ancient Polycom IP 501 just fine. Does 'dialplan show **@<your-context>' yield any clues? -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwards at sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-edwards-4244281
dialplan show testing-sip '**' => 1. Noop(Testing) [pbx_config] 2. Playback(demo-congrats) [pbx_config] Looks like its there. if I do ** "Dial" it works, but if I do "New Call" ** then "Dial" it does not work. Weird. How do I get it to work for both cases. (glad I tried the other) Jerry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How do I get it to work for both cases. (glad I > tried the other)I never use 'New Call' -- just 'Dial' and 'Redial,' I suspect you'll need to fiddle with the Polycom dialplan. As soon as I press the first '*' my Poly sends the INVITE. -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwards at sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-edwards-4244281

You could: 1) dial *..pause..* which will overcome that AFAIK. 2) Configure call.InternationalDialing.enabled="0" on the handset to stop it. 3) Put a pattern of _[+],1,... into your dialplan. That would be by guess anyway :) Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
