similar to: Calling Asterisk Autoattendant With SIP Phone

I've spent the past several weeks reading up and playing around with Asterisk while I've been waiting for an ISDN card I got on ebay to arrive so I can really get to business. I'd just like to run my project ideaa by some of you to hopefully get a little feedback. I aplogize if this ends up being a somewhat long message. In the Marine Corps we've somewhat recently started using

So I have whose autoattendant is colliding with their extensions... Quick fix anyone? Second someone presses say a person's extension (101) ... Autoattendant sends them to the first context... [companyx-main-aa] exten => s,1,Background(companyx/companyx-main) exten => s,2,Background(silence/10) exten => s,3,Background(companyx/companyx-main) exten => s,4,Background(silence/10)

Hi, At my house, I have two POTS lines. Both are connected to my * server on a TDM400P card. As an example, say the phone numbers are (919)555-1212 and (919)555-1213. I also have four SIP extensions, an ATA with a fax machine, and a DID coming in from an ITSP. I have an autoattendant configured that talks and allows users to forward to the extension they choose, but my family doesn't like

Anyone have a user configured auto attendant setup? Something that can be used without the * admin helping to make changes. Something where the operator can record the message like 'press 1 for john, 2 for bill, 3 for jean' and then the operator can enter the extension that gets dialed when the caller presses 1 or 2 or 3? This would be useful if Bill leaves the company, the operator can

All, Has anyone ever seen a problem where the autoattend detects the first digit twice? What I am seeing is this: My extensions are 421-468. When a caller calls in and dials exten 433 from the autoattendant, they get exten 443. This is happen for any extension that is valid in the 44x range (i.e. 42x -> 442, 43x -> 443, 44x -> 444, etc.). I am seeing this problem about 1/3 of the

I'm pretty much a newbie to this but still think I've been around the various help pages, voip-info.org etc to be fairly sure I'm not missing something here so your help is appreciated! I have a box running RedHat9 at home with the latest CVS of Asterisk and all works fine. At the office, we installed Gentoo linux on a machine, downloaded the latest CVS of Asterisk, set it up. All

Are IVR and "Auto Attendant" interchangeable terms? They both do the "Press 1 for" thing. Sales is asking me how to word it and I've always used both terms interchangeably.

Hi, I am using SME server 6.0 which has samba preconfigured on it. We upgraded from MS Windows 2000 server. I am using the server in China and so many of the users wish to create files with Chinese characters in their names. File names with Chinese characters seem to cause all sorts of problems. They have trouble creating them, and files which are copied off backup (from the W2K system)

Hi, I have a data frame consisting of coordinates on a 10*10 grid, i.e. > example x y 1 4 5 2 6 7 3 6 6 4 7 5 5 5 7 6 6 7 7 4 5 8 6 7 9 7 6 10 5 6 What I would like to do is return an 10*10 matrix consisting of counts at each position, so in the above example I would have a matrix where, for example, cell [4,5] contains 2 and [6,7] contains 3. At the

I'm having trouble finding documentation for the auto attendant does anyone have an idea where there might be some???

I've got a server running CentOS 4.2; installed as 4.1, kept updated by yum. A few days ago it crashed. I picked it up from the datacenter, and brought it back to the office, where it took a long time to boot because it couldn't find anything. When it finally booted and I logged in I discovered an interesting problem. Only the / partition had loaded. /etc/fstab had all the

Hi all, been searching & not finding an answer to this, although I'm guessing it's absurdly simple... I just hooked up a T1 to our * box (1.2.0), which had been using POTS lines via a channel bank.. Now when I call the new T1 circuit, there are no rings, the Autoattendant just picks up right away.. Any clue on how to make it ring twice before getting picked up? I tried immedate=no and

Circumstances: The system is a hardware duplicate of a system that installed and works for many months. Running CentOS 4.x. The system was previously in service with CentOS 3.x and I'm trying to install CentOS 4.1 on it from downloaded CDs which have worked previously (these are the same CDs used to install the system that's working). Software RAID. Minimal packages System

One computer will show the previous versions of files just fine, but every other computer I've installed the Microsoft Shadow Copy Client on will not show any previous versions. The Previous Versions tab is just blank. In the samba log, I get this: [2006/11/28 12:02:02, 0] modules/vfs_shadow_copy.c:shadow_copy_opendir(81) shadow_copy_opendir: SMB_VFS_NEXT_OPENDIR() failed for

I have this server I need to put to work. The option I have is to make it work as a small office PBX with SIP users and a Digium E1 Card for PSTN service. 24 SIP users and one E1 card in an Intel 945board (533 Front side bus) with 1GB DDR 533mhz of ram, one Pentium Dual Core 2.66 ghz (FSB 533MHZ) and two 80GB SATA disks. Can the box sustain the load? I can add another 1gb of ram if necessary.

Consider this dialplan fragment, where the call is being dialed into [macro-process-routing] over an iax2 channel from another (same build) Asterisk server: [macro-process-routing] ; This is the entrypoint of the debug call but is also refered to by Macro(process-routing) elsewhere in the dialplan ; XXX-NNN-6800 exten => _6800,1,Macro(6800-interceptor) ; This is matched when 8 is

I've been asked to create a graphical "call-queue" manager. That is, use the existing call queues application but allow a way to view what's coming and attach information to it. As far as the "attaching information" that's in the realm of my application, but I'm trying to figure out if the internals of queues are exposed through any interface. Any help there?

Apologies if this messages appears more than once, somehow sending it via gmane's nntp-server doesn't work as expected. Been trying to send this message for 2 days now, without success so far... --- Hello, I'm exploring the capablities of Asterisk and must say I'm really impressed! However, I don't need most of the options, but can't figure out the things that appear

Hi, I setup asterisk as an autoattendant. When I call using IAX I get the autoattendent okay, but when I dial one of the extensions, there is no ringing sound passed back to the caller. It happens when I use my DID number, but I also configured a context so I can get it to happen with Firefly (iax client) as the caller. It seems that once the Answer command is executed in the dialplan, status

I know that Asterisk supports DID, but does anyone have documentation on how to write the configuration for it? I'll be trying to setup a hybrid system where some incoming numbers will be DID enabled and others won't, so I'll need to be able to sort between the two, i.e. directly connect the DID dialed numbers and route the others to an autoattendant for extension dialing.
