All: Some of the people who dial into to our system will press the pound key when entering an extension for the directory key. When waitexten gets that, I get an error messages as, for example 123# doesn't match any extension. I was going to use ${EXTEN} to just use the first three numbers, but I'm not sure how to use this with WaitExten. so I have exten =>

I am trying to setup an interactive menu where a caller hits the main menu and can then dial an extension. As far as I can tell the "Waitexten" app is failing to read 3 digits and just reading the first and then announcing that it is invalid since all extensions are 3 digits. How do I make Waitexten wait for 3 digits? I have setup the extension "100" for users to reach the

I am trying to use a WaitExten in a Macro, and I am finding that the extension which is pressed ends up in context of the calling context and not in the Macro. How do you do a WaitExten in a Macro? Tony Plack

Is there any known reason that the DISA() routine should behave differently than WaitExten() as far as recognizing DTMF tones? If not, I suspect there's a bug here. Try it yourself--two DID's on our PRI, numbers below let you test each routine: It is my observation that some setups/phones DO and some DO NOT express this variance. --I could not show any variance on a sprint mobile phone

Hi List; What is the difference between WaitExten function and TIMEOUT (response)? As I see that both are used to determine the allowed time to enter the digits, any one can advise?

Hi, I have the problem that WaitExten is not responding to key presses. Here are the sections from my extensions.conf: [globals] incoming_call=0 menu=0 announce=0 [internal] exten => 777,1,Goto(hotline,${EXTEN},1) [hotline] exten => _X.,1,Set(CALLERID(name)=Hotline) exten => _X.,n,Set(original_extension=${EXTEN}) exten => _X.,n,GotoIf($[${announce}=1]?4:10) exten =>

Hi, In my dialplan I'm using a WaitExten() command. It works only with Zap phones. When I dial this command with Sip phone asterisk do nothing. Should I put extra definition in sip.conf to make this work with Sip phones? Thanks in advance Cheers

hi community, I'm new to this list & asterisk in general, so let me first say thx to everybody involved in providing such great tools & ressources!!

I cant seem to get outgoing calls to be placed properly .. No matter what I try I get an error from the PSTN company saying that the "call can not be completed as dialed" or "you need to dial a one..." The asterisk debugging seems to show the correct number being dialed out of the zap interface... the "9" is being stripped and there is a "1" where it is

Hi, I have a Digium TE410p T1 card and I've noticed that under asterisk 1.4.17/18 I have problems detecting DTMF in IVRs. I think I've narrowed the problem down to some sort of interference between the greeting that is playing and the DTMF tones. DTMF detection seems to work very reliably when I am in Read() or WaitExten(), but is absolutely unusable while in Background(). I hope someone

Greetings, I have created simple conferencing solution before using meetme application, but this times its a little tricky. My client needs a functionality to call multiple extensions to join a conference room. Extensions will ring like in a ring group, and on pick up, user will be either automatically added to the conference room, or maybe I'll program them to enter 9 to accept and 8 to

Hello all, Just starting to setup asterisk v 1.4.11 and need to run three distinct phone systems for three different companies. So far, I have inbound lines going to the appropriate dial plan within the extensions.conf file. I'm using exten => _X.,1,NoOp(FROM NUMBER: ${SIP_HEADER(TO):5:10}) to determine which number is being dialed by the caller and then using a gotoif to get to

Hello list, I've got a problem (maybe only a problem of understanding how * works) with IAX and WaitExten. To simplify the problem I've brought it down to the following scenario: - 3 Asterisk Server A,B and C (central). - A and B both register with C. Now I want to be able to dial an extension at A to become connected to C and there I want to dial an extension to become connected to B.

Hello all, I'm planning to create a simple Auto-Attendant (IVR Menu) for my home PBX yet all callers from incoming (trunk) calls must only press the extension numbers from the [analog-ext] else will play the "pbx-invalid". How do you do that using the GotoIf() (or probably using the other applications) but will check if the numbers entered belongs to a specific context? Also, how

I am playing with the dialplan to get it working and I have a challange with this error. I can't find what it means on the wiki :( Any sugestions would be helpful at being able to forward it to the SIP phone if it is online and avaliable but then let that fail and drop into voicemail if it is not online or is busy. cheers David -- Executing Dial("IAX2/firefly@89280250/3",
