Hi, I want to start recording the caller automatically when the receptionist transfers a new sales lead to 567. I don't want the receptionist to have to press *1 manually for automon. Can someone recommend how best to accomplish this? exten => 567,1,Set(CALLERID(name)=SALES CALL) exten => 567,n,Playback(recorded-for-training) exten =>

I use dbget to set callerid, but it's based on account code, and set statically with the station, not the agent. Users can set callerid by dialing a function coded in the dialplan for that purpose. Overhead is not a problem. In your case, perhaps you can set the desired callerid into a channel variable using the "inheritance" syntax (double underscore) prior to the queue()

I am using rsync w/ CYGWIN to copy files from an NT server to a Freebsd 5.3 server running runsy- latest 2.6.3 BSD patch to latest RELEND_5_3. I am moving very large 2gb files/.

I have set my Asterisk server up to connect to my Jabber server and send messages with the caller ID details in them to the recipients of incoming calls - this is working very nicely.

Basically I have phone representatives that log into one of several queues (not using chan Agent, we log in by the extension), and frequently these agents have to make attended transfer calls to outside numbers.

I have setup as per the monitor example configuration on the wiki site and all works well for an extension dialing 8 then the number. However, if I dial from an AGI script the recording stops after a few seconds. I see an extra answer in the console and suspect that is the reason. Could any kind soul help me to get around this?

Greyman-- I'm taking this discussion to the list. Folks, what we are talking about here, is me trying to get a grasp around Greyman's (Aaron's) request for a bare-bones CDR generation that describes just total connect time for channels, stripping out all the details. Who cares about xfer, park, hold, etc.? So in the following is our discussion about what *should* be there, and in
