We are going to replace a BizFone with Asterisk and one of the features that I haven't been able to emulate is the PBX hold. We can put a call into hold with the * key and every 30 sec the phone gets a beep to remind us it is there and the caller on hold can hit # for other options. The closest I've come with Asterisk is call parking, and that doesn't quite do it. Using the

Hi everyone, Is there a simple way of answering a different ringing extension from a sip phone using AAH? I have absolutely zero technical know-how when it comes to modifying conf files etc. Still working on figuring it all out. ;) That brings me to my second question... where the hell does one find an extensive manual of sorts that explains all conf files and what the strings all mean etc?

I've had asterisk running for about a month now between our PBX and our T1, and everything seems fine but for one simple nit-pick: When a call to the outside workd is made, and if the recipient picks up while a the sender's phone is still relaying the ring, the sender won't be heard until after the ring stops. This often translates a simple "hello?" into a

Hi All, I'm using Asterisk 1.2.14 under openSuSE 10.2 with kernel 2.6.18. I have Wildcard TDM400P card and D-Link DPH-120S and DPH-140S SIP phones. I would like to be able to pickup ringing extention from any SIP phone using Pickup() application. from my dial plan: [incoming] exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/somebody1|60|tTrR) [internal] include => outbound-local include => parkedcalls

We're having an issue that isn't easily googleable so I thought I might might try here. We have several customers who want all their extensions to ring on incoming calls. Frankly I think it is craziness to ring 11 extensions all at once but that is how they want it. We're doing this by creating an incoming route that goes to a hunt list containing all the extensions. This normally

Hi list, Does anyone have any advice on the following: Incoming calls to our office come in on a SIP trunk. Since all our offices/desks are in close proximity, we would like just a single phone to ring when a call comes in instead of ringing every person's phone. Currently we've got this working by having all the phones in a callgroup/pickupgroup and incoming calls ring the

Hello, On a Asterisk 11.12.0, I'm studying BLF behaviour with Yealink phones. My ultimate goal is to present Operator the name and number of every incoming call so that he/she can if it's worth to pickup a ringing incoming call. I've discovered notifycid option in sip.conf. When a call comes in, I can see that Asterisk is sending two successive NOTIFY messages while the target is

Hi, I have one phone on my network that just keeps ringing (when I call it) and does not go to voicemail. If the person there is on the phone, and someone calls it they get the busy message, but they never seem to get the 'unavailable' message... instead it will just ring and ring and ring... any ideas? They are setup with a voicemailbox, and it is set to transfer after 15 seconds of

Hello, We are using asterisk 0.4.0 on debian sid with Cisco 7960 and ATA186 phones. All sip entries have: callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 However I am unable to remotely pickup a ringing phone using *8#. I get fast busy tone. Is there some flag to add in extensions.conf ? Thanks in advance,

Hello, all. I've got a problem where we set up call pickup for a customer. If the Bob's extension rings and Bob is in Jim's office, Bob can press the button on his Snom 320 that says "Bob" and pick up his line. It works great for calls coming in from the outside but does not work for internal calls. Internal calls generate a app_directed_pickup.c:204 pickup_exec: No

Anyone tried this, I put in an Asterisk/FreePBX phone system to replace one of those el cheapo Bizfon analog key systems. The Bizfon was able to do follow me to analog lines but I do not believe the capability is in Asterisk. Of course now it becomes the one feature they cannot do without. Somehow the Bizfon is able to detect if an analog line is answered (without answer supervision). If not

I am using Cisco 7960 phones and have had a request to have the receptionist phone ring on multiple phones just in case she is not around. Call pickup is the theory here but the issue is that not all the people that need to hear the ring would here the receptionist phone ring so I think I need to have a second line appearance on the phones in question so that line will ring. Can this be done

Hi, What do I need to do to get asterisk to NOT pickup a Zap channel when it rings? The channel in question is used for outbound calls only, and all incoming calls are answered by an analog phone elsewhere in the building that does not run through asterisk... so.. either make it not answer.. or make it delay for like 90 seconds.. I've tried wait's.. but it still seems to pickup the

Hello everybody Have a question, about interception with asterisk. Not Interception as legal way (google gives enough results about that topic) . I mean Interception of a call arriving. Here is my problem : In the company where Im supposed deploy VoIP, when a call arrives it comes on operator phone; but sometimes operator is away (coffee break and so), the other workers in the room have

Hi, Does anyone have sample * configuration on how I can get an incoming call to ring all SIP phones (small setup, say 4 phones) at the same time. 1) I would like to pickup up any phone and the ringing should stop (of course) 2) Put on hold and pick up on a different phone set. Do I need special phone features to achieve this? E.g. would the Grandstream 100 do it? Thanks -- Costas Menico

Well I dont want it to operate as a group. I understand that it is *8 on most PBX systems but I would like it to work as dialing *8+extension-thats-ringing to have it go over to my extension. I am having a lot of trouble finding more information from the wiki and google. Thanks! -James -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com

I'm having trouble with call pickups. Suppose ring group is 100 and has extensions 101 and 102. Someone calls 100, 101 rings and 102 wants to pick the call up. If 102 dials **100, call pickup works. If 102 dials **101, call pickup fails. In my dialplan I have: exten => **101,1,NoOp(pickup extension) exten => **101,n,Pickup(101) exten => **101,n,NoOp(pickup group) exten =>

Hello, As of today's cvs * snapshot I am able to pickup a ringing (sip) cisco 7960 with *8 but the extension then keeps ringing indefinitely, even though I picked up the call. Is this a known issue? Thanks, -- There are no Debian developers in any part of Hell, because the good karma incurred by being one takes you straight to the pearly gates. Of course, the frequent flame wars you put

Hi, I would like to test the following COLP use case : Alice and Bob are both using a SIP phone registered on a Asterisk 10 server. Alice dials Bob's extension. While Bob's phone is ringing, Asterisk updates Alice phone screen with Bob's name, so that at a glance, Alice can check she dialed the correct number. Before diving into Asterisk documentation, I would be happy to be

Folks, I'm looking for a SIP or IAX phone for field techs to take with them when out on service calls. The regular desktop phones are just way too big. Is there anything like the size of a full-sized cell phone? Or smaller, not I doubt that... Tim --
