similar to: WaitExten and Macros

I'm a bit confused about how WaitExten works. I assumed that when it returns 0, the next priority in the extension would be executed, but that doesn't seem to be the case. When I get to WaitExten and enter extension 8, it plays the message, then Waits another 10 seconds and times out. [local] exten => s,1,Wait,1 ; Wait a second, just for fun exten =>

I am working on a project that requires shared extension. Where shared line looks at the status of a line/trunk, shared extension would look at a series of channels as the same "extension". The users would like to add destination channels on the fly, to provide roaming extensions, but maintaining fixed channels as well. If a call comes in on an extension, the system needs to honor the

Hello, I have the following simple application... 1. Call is answered, and Dial() function is used with a macro to dial out to a number. 2. 'Called' party answers the phone, and hears a message (this is a function of the macro) At this point I'd like for the 'Called' Party to be able to make a decision and press 1 or 2 to hear some additional information before

Hi list, We're trying to set up a phone number that customers can call to get a hold of anyone of a group of sysadmins (and not their voice mails!). We found the findme example ([1]) that makes the callees press 1 to accept the call. It almost works, but it doesn't work correctly when one of the callees, the sysadmins, hangs up after accepting the call. We're using this

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 using the freebsd port, which seems to not yet have WaitExten(), which i kinda want to use thusly [ext-666] exten => _.,1,SetVar(areacode=666) exten => _.,2,Background(zz-in-who) ; give them list of extns exten => _.,3,WaitExten(10) ; let them enter extn to call include => extensions include => applications include => speeddials

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

I had to switch quickly to 1.4.9 from1.2.4 and now I can only get 2 digits into the dialplan. error -- Invalid extension '81' in context 'impact' on SIP/207.174.111.34-b77167f8 I pressed 8107 and ideas my dial plan is (part of it) [impact] exten=>s,1,Answer() exten=>s,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=Impact - ${CALLERID(number)}) exten=>s,n,Background(IMPACT)

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

G'afternoon everybody, I'm having a problem with consistently being able to ring our extensions from an outside line. I don't have a problem reaching the number, but during our calls to Background(msg) that I am having a problem. It seems to be an issue with timing. If I press the extension towards the end of the Background(msg) the it often works. However, in the middle of the

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

[apologies if this comes through twice - the original doesn't seem to have shown up even after 16 hours] In the handling of agents, when using AgentCallbackLogin, a call placed to an agent needs to be accepted by the agent pressing the '#' key. I'm trying to replicate that kind of operation in a non-agent scenario: I want to call Dial() from my dialplan, play an announcement to

Hi List I have had a look at the various posts on this and seem to be more confused than ever - but then again that's not hard ;-) I am using Version 1.4.33.1 build from the Debian "lenny" distros I am trying to implement a simple screening [macro-screen] exten => s,1,Background(press1) exten => s,n,WaitExten(5) exten => 1,1,NoOp(accepted) ; Dont set a reply so dial

Hi everyone! I've set up asterisk ip-pbx to implement IVR menu and encountered such a problem: when users dial the destinaion phone number and end it up with "#" asterisk still waits until timeout in WaitExten() is reached. // Here comes the context where user is prompted for a dest. number: context ivr-dialout { s => { Background(enter-your-dest-number);
