Short replay to long 'short of it'!! Use a queue for your calls set the queue to ring. 'r' option I belive. Set up a queue that has no members but allows you t 'joinempty' Setup an extension that AddQueueMember(home-silent). You will then need to hangup and the call will ring. Before entering the queue you could have the system send the YAC info for you. It will

Here's the short of it. I have an Asterisk 1.2.1 system setup to handle both personal and business calls. Now, the business callers will hear music while on hold, so the default MOH needs to play regular music. Personal callers should hear rings, not music. I have this working except for one specific case. If someone calls during the day (we're night people), asterisk will not ring

We've had a regular Park function in the past but recently I found the ParkAndAnnounce() application and I love the idea behind it. Here's a snip from the wiki (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+ParkAndAnnounce) so that we're all talking the same language: || ParkAndAnnounce(announce:template|timeout|dial|return_context) || || Park a call into the

I have been discussing an asterisk solution with a company that has a custom written dialogic based solution. The issue is that their dialogic solution can read callerid from incoming calls, even if the callerid is blocked. I have read before that Asterisk can do this, and they want me to make sure that their new system will be able to do this. A quick poke around inside the zaptel source code

>From discussions with the receptionist staff, this is what we need: X number of buttons for parking slots. These buttons should be lit when a call is parked there. When on a call, just pushing an unlit button will park the call. (The do not want to hit hold, transfer, etc.) Hitting Transfer and the button would most likely be OK. To pick up a call, they can push the parking slot button. The

I have a _very_ specific situation where I need queues to work in a very specific manner - I need the queue to only accept one call at a time, even though several phones are attached to it. My memory tells me that queues might have even worked this way in the distant past (pre 1.0)...but I am willing to be mistaken. Is this even remotely possible? PaulH

I've lurked for a while, but I think this is one of my first "pleas" for help. I'm having issues where a parked call using the macro below is getting "stuck". Users park the call via a blfxfer key on an Aastra phone. If the call is a blind transfer, it tries to park the call. If it isn't a blind transfer, it tries to unpark the call. Only 2 extensions (2759 and

Hi, Is there a way to do a blind transfer within an asterisk dialplan (like '##')? The reason I need this (I think) rather than a regular Goto() is that I'm trying to do one-touch parking. I can park a call using one-touch parking and then pick it up again, however if I try to re-park the call, it gets lost. I think that is because asterisk thinks I'm still on the park extension.

When you use the Park button, on some phones you have to hit "More" to get it. Then when you park it, it calls back and tells you the extension...so you have to hang up then pick up again. Callpark apparently is a valid extension! Bill -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Stephen Bosch

Has anyone managed to get multi-parking lot call parking working correctly? I've had several attempts at it, and never seem to be able to get it to go properly - (actually, at all): I've most recently done this with 1.6.1.x, and now 1.6.2.x, with no luck in either case. What I've been "trying" is the following: features.conf [general] parkext => 100 [featuremap]

Good Day list, My head is pounding from google overload. Does anyone know if there is any way to park a call and specify the ("context", "Extension", and Priority) of where to call back to if the call times out and is parked too long? ParkAndAnnounce does this feature, however I do not like that it has to call you back to announce the location. I want my cake and eat it

Hi everybody, I would like to set asterisk up such that to use the call parking feature, instead of transferring a call to the extension set up in features.conf, you just dial a code (e.g. *3) and this then parks the call. The main reason for this is that a number of the phones I use have transfer buttons that I can't reprogram to use Asterisk's own transfer functions, therefore you

So, I can't figure out how to get the parkandannounce application to work the way I want it to... I have cisco 7960 IP phones using SIP, and this is what I have in my extensions.conf: exten => 700,1,ParkAndAnnounce(pbx-transfer:PARKED|90|SIP/${EXTEN:1}|internal,${EXTEN:1},1) exten => 700,2,Hangup and in my parking.conf: [general] parkext => 700 ; What ext.

Hi I'm trying to get the rebuilt parking functionality to work in Asterisk 12.0.0. In Asterisk 11.6.0 I managed to get a call to get parked by adding a dynamic feature in features.conf for the DMTF sequence *# which called a macro in extensions.conf, which then runned the ParkAndAnnounce application, and the call got parked. The syntax for ParkAndAnnounce I used was this (I don't

(Sorry if this has hit the list before. I sent it yesterday, but never saw it come through) I actually got rid of my phone service.. no more pots line in my house. But, I miss my call screen macro. Any way to do this with a SIP channel? (Obviously the parking isn't the problem, but rather recording their name). I set it up so they should only have to record their name once provided they

Hi: I want to make parking calls easier for my hard-working users. Is there a way to make the Polycom call park feature work with Asterisk? In case it just works out of the box, I haven't tried it yet; but the "call park" feature isn't enabled on the Polycom phones by default. -Stephen-

I would like to hire someone to help us tweak our asterisk system for Snom phones. We would like to enable things like: One touch recording One touch park orbits Presence Please contact off-list if you will be able to help.

Hello, all. I'm having a deeply frustrating time getting multiple parking lots to work and am wondering what I am doing wrong. I am using Asterisk 1.6.1.1. I defined two separate parking lots in features.conf as follows: [parkinglot_a100] ; SSI context => a100-parking parkpos => 900-920 findslot => next [parkinglot_a10] ; EBC context => a10-parking parkpos => 800-820

thankyou both very much for your swift responses and helpful insight... While my knowledge of administrating Asterisk is fairly decent, i must say my knowledgebase and ability in troubleshooting it is fairly lousy... all these wonderful suggestions you have had about turning this log on here, etc sounds great, but i don't know where to begin on that! how do you recommend i turn these on or

I have an issue with call parking and hope there is some undocumented feature for this. ;-) We are replacing our legacy PBX with asterisk, but to save money over time (handsets and network), I am trying to maintain the use of our legacy PBX. Asterisk extensions can not use the call parking features (not usable over trunk cards) of the old PBX, so I have to get the old PBX to use asterisk's.
