similar to: Asterisk as a voicemail for a central office switch

I'm trying to get into the world of Asterisk in order to use the voicemail and autoattendat features (and more stuff later) with a Redcom switch. But, I've only started and haven't gotten to that yet. At this point my solitary goal is to talk to the autoattendant via an SIP phone (SJPhone). I've spent countless hours trying to find the documentation I need to accomplish my goals

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

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

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

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

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'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?

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.

Could anyone help me set up Asterisk in such a way that it makes SIP-SIP transfers using the REFER / NOTIFY method according to RFC-3515 ? SCANARIO: - Asterisk registers with PSTN<->SIP VoIP provider "V" (Vonage) as a friend - Asterisk is located in Europe, Vonage in located US. - Asterisk acts as an autoattendant located in Europe. - Asterisk answers and incoming call from

Hi Tom, Thank you for your informative and helpful reply. I had considered using the relaxdtmf setting but held off this due to not using any physical connection hardware -Asterik uses both SIP in and out from an upstream provider (Gradwell.com). Is it still possible to set this when using SIP trunks only and not physical hardware? The box does have a Digium ISDN card but the ISDN is no longer

hi, i am trying to do to autoattendant. here is my extension.conf part [tumpak] exten=>s,1,Dial,Zap/4|10 exten=>s,2,Voicemail,u9999 exten=>s,102,Voicemail,b9999 exten=>t,1,hangup so when a caller dials the extension 2 suppose, it enters to the above context.. everything is fine. the problem is when the caller hangs up the asterisk does not. after caller hangs up and tries again he

Hello, dear Asterisk experts. When I run Asterisk (CVS HEAD version), I'm not able to play music anymore -- asterisk seems to capture sound device. Is it not a bug, but a feature? That's unlike stable (1.0.7 and 1.0.9) versions, when I can, say, run an IP telephone on the *same* machine and listen what Asterisk' autoattendant says. Now I can't do that, I need Asterisk and client

Hi, Has someone figured out how to change the main autoattendant message easily? Right now, you call *77 and record the message. Then you have to get into the Unix/Linux command line to get that message over to where it will be used. Is there a simpler way? Thanks for your help.

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.

Does anyone on this list know of any Linux based apps that will work with Dialogic or Brooktrout that provides voice-mail/Autoattendant only?? It seems that Panasonic, Avaya, and Mitel all use Unix/linux based OS on their firmware for their proprietary voice mails. My wish list would be; A software that provides all of the drivers for a dialogic or brooktrout board Voice Mail Messages in WAV

I have a line from BT (UK) connected to my asterisk system, on a TDM400P. I am able to see either distinctive ring cadences or caller ID but not both. If I try to enable both, all drings show up as 0,0,0. This is a pain because, if I make a call out over that line and the number I call is busy, I can elect to camp on it (ringback), which results in a different cadence of ring when the called

Ah I see, in theory it's possible then. We don't have any IVRs or anything which requires key presses, there isn't even voicemail on this particular phone system so I don't think it will be too much of a problem. I've also updated the firmware on the Cisco phones that have had the issue, just to see if that solves the issue but as it's been going on for a while, I'm

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.

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