similar to: SetGroup Limitation!!!

Hi All, Can someone please tell me how to limit incoming calls to SIP channels using the SetGroup & Checkgroup command. I don't want any call waiting on SIP channels and you are somehow meant to be able to do it with these commands. Many Thanks Daniel Niasoff

I am checking on the SetGroup / CheckGroup commands, but I have some troubles to undestand the examples. SetGroup(moh) can be moh anything as I like? Usually moh stands for "music on hold" CheckGroup(1) checks if somebody in in group "moh". Does it mean I can only have one SetGroup(xxx) ?? When I look at example 2 than I see two SetGroup commands and one CheckGroup

I have a rather long dial plan, but it includes support for call waiting. However, the setgroup checkgroup commands don't seem to be working. Can anyone help on this one? Excerpts are below. First exten-vm is dialed and then dial-new. As I understand, priority 1 increments the active channels for the caller and then in "dial-new" priority 8 increments for Arg3, or the Callee

Hi All, I use the SetGroup command to identify if a specific extension is in use. I create a group for each extension and check against that group name when putting through any further calls. A problem I am finding is that with internal calls I want to increment both the called and calling extension and SetGroup only appears to allow a call to be in a single group. Ideally I would like to

Hello, Since outgoinglimit is EOL'd, I've implemented SetGroup/GetGroupCount to ensure that SIP clients will only have a single call at any time. Works perfectly for simple calls using Dial(). I'm now struggling to find a way to similarily limit 2nd calls to SIP clients that are Agents, who receive their calls from a Queue(). Is there any way to accomplish this (without writing

Hi, I have been trying to get my * box to limit an extension to one line for either an inbound or outbound call anyone got a quick example I can look at or a good howto? Cheers, Dee

I manage the PBX system for a medium sized call center. Where all calls are distributed via a few call Queues. However I am having an issue where reps are being distributed calls regardless of wether they are on a call. I have looked into using SetGroup but I don't think this works with Call Queues. I have also looked into incomingcalllimit and that seems to no longer work. Any sugestions?

Hi there, I was wondering how I can use setgroup and checkgroup for perfom incoming and outgoing limitation checks. I've have some users that doesn't what to be able to recieve more than 1 call at a time, and I also want to limit a users outgoing call abilities. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know if SetGroup and CheckGroup apply to only current context or is it per server based? Ta SJ

Is there a way to trigger an action when a certain number of zap channels are in use, or is there a variable that stores max used channels that can be read? I use PRI for inbound calls, but outbound goes out via SIP, so the simple solution does not work. I need to know when the potential exists for inbound calls via PRI/Wildcard to be blocked because there are no more channels. Obviously

I have asterisk running more or less ok but I would like to turn off call waiting and be selective about the incoming sip connections. This is running asterisk 1.2.8 with a fxs and fxo card and a configured voip (sip) line. Currently I'm using freePBX 2.1.1 to configure asterisk. Problem 1) if someone is on the phone already and another call comes in for an already engaged extension I

Is there a way to limit simultaneous calls. I like to limit simultaneous outgoing calls as more than few simulataneous calls are charged by my voip providers. However, I do not want to have any such restriction for internal calls. Thanks Jim

Hi, I seem to have a problem with chanisavail and the call limits on sip phones(incoming and outgoing) The problem seems to be that chanisavail when trying create to create channels and hanging them up afterwards screw up the current usage limit on the phones. Example with chanisavail: Phone A calls voicemail (usage now 1) Phone B tries to call Phone A and uses ChanIsAvail in the dialplan.

Hello, I'd like to be able to see if a channel is use and handle the call differently if it is. The best I can find is the command ChanIsAvail(). The problem is, I have an snom200 phone which does call waiting, so even if it is engaged in a call, a second channel is still available on it. I would like to be able to differentiate between these two cases: no calls engages, or calls

Hello. I was hoping someone might be able to help me with the following problem: When an incoming call comes into to * I would like it to attempt to find the first extension in a group of extensions that isn't busy and to send the call to that extension. Should that extension not be picked up or if the phone at that extension is on DND I would then like * to send the call to voice mail

Hi all, I have looked at cisco docs and it says DND is set by pressing the services button and choosing DND. Does anyone know how to configure DND in the services.xml file. I've googled around and not found anything. When you enable it in SIPDefault.cnf it just allows you to use it once. Many thanks for all your amazing work. Daniel Niasoff

For multiline phones how do you set SIP channels to busy. For instance if SIP/101 is on a call then dial would return busy. Right now it just starts ringing on line X, and stacks up from there. What would be really great is if I could control how many calls by the context. So if a call was routed via [overload] Then the ext wouldn't report busy it would just keep ringing available

I have a question about the Asterisk Application ICES. I've got Asterisk setup to accept a phone call and call the ICES app which sends it to an Icecast server. exten => 1,1,SetGroup('stream') exten => 1,2,GetGroupCount() exten => 1,3,Ices('contrib/${GROUPCOUNT}-ices.xml') exten => 1,4,Hangup Everything works fine. Unless I have more than 24 phone calls being

>From this list I found that I could use SetGroup and CheckGroup to do what I wanted. But I'm not quite sure how I do it. The case is that I have 3 user groups, and one main group. The main group is for all the incoming calls from external phones. The main group should be allowed to have 3 calls at the time. The 3 user groups are internal groups that I want to limit by ony having one

How do I limit the length of an extension? In my test IVR/Automated Attendant (whatever it's called), at the beginning it plays "if you know your parties 3 digit extension, you may enter it now) and then it gives a list of options. If the caller puts the 3 digit extension, it goes through fine, if they press 1, or 2 it goes to the selected menu option, but if they dial 91235551212 it
