Hello list, I'm using the following macro when calling an external callphone/GSM number : [macro-press1] exten => s,1,NoOp() exten => s,n,Playback(/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/prompts/press1) exten => s,n,Read(INPUT,,1,1,1) exten => s,n,NoOp(input : ${INPUT}) exten => s,n,GoToIf($["${INPUT}"=="1"]?exit:hangup) exten => s,n(exit),NoOp(call accepted) exten

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 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

Greetings all, I've been working on having Asterisk put a call through to two different numbers, and give the call to the first one that acknowledges by pressing the 1 key. I found an example on the wiki, but I can't get it working. When I answer the call I hear the message telling me to press 1 to connect, and as soon as the message is done, the call is connected. In other words, it

Hi, I am attempting to implement Answering Machine Detect and have also played with using BackgroundDetect instead. Does anyone recommend one over the other? Here is the code I am using for the BackgroundDetect method (from voip-info.org). Thanks. [detect] exten => s,1,Set(MACHINE=0) exten => s,2,Answer exten => s,3,BackgroundDetect(silence/5, 1000, 50) exten =>

I am trying to use a macro to screen calls by calling several different phones at the same time in different groups. Find me will not work and queues will not work either. Trust me, I've tried them both and they don't work like they should. Here is what I have: A call comes into 6084 and does the following (in default context): exten => 6084,1,NoOp(test) exten =>

A call comes in and goes into the queue, the queue dials a sip channel using a macro. The macro plays a set of options to the callee and if the callee presses 3 it sets MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE and the macro ends. For some reason the caller goes back into the queue rather than continueing on in the dial plan. Why is this, i could have sworn in 1.2 if i set MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE that the

Hi, There seems to be no solution for call progress on analog lines and using outgoing spool call files . My wave file starts playing before the person has answered the phone so the first part of the message is missed. Can the backgrounddetect app be used for this. I have tried but the message still plays before I answer. I generated 60 seconds wave file. [callprogress] exten =>

Hi all, I hate to ask such a simple question, but it has stumped me over the past couple of days. I have 2 asterisk servers connected to the house lan and also via a crossover ethernet cable. The original purpose of the crossover was to create a private lan for TDMoE. I have a TE410P in each machine using PRI. I also have setup SIP and IAX2 between both machines. What I'm doing is

Hello, To detect an answering machine I have found following two commands, BackgroundDetect (comes with asterisk) MachineDetect (asterisk add-ons) First question, does BackgroundDetect works well with g729? I havn't try MachineDetect yet, what is the benefit of MachineDetect over BackgroundDetect. If anybody used any of this command successfully, please help me. If possible, please let me

I am following the example at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+tips+findme but I find that no matter what, the call is connected. Can anyone confirm that config is working for them? Any suggestions appreciated. I need to transfer calls to a list of cell phones, ring all of them, allow them to screen the call, connect the call to the first number that accepts the call, and allow

I'm trying to wean my self using the Agent channel in Asterisk. The main reason I use it is for the callback acknowledgement , where the user presses # to finally acknowledge the call. I have implemented this in the Dialplan using the Macro in the docs. This works well as long as the user enters something. However if the user hangs up , then both sides of the bridge call are hung up as

Hello Asteriskers, :-) We're trying to set up an outbound notification calling for system alerts with Asterisk 1.4.0. We generate a call file in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and the outbound call is originated through Zap/1 (Sangoma A200D to a Canadian POTS line). The problem is that Asterisk does not wait for the other side to answer before it starts playing the message. So the

Hi, everybody: As part of a paging macro I'm using SendDTMF to send digits to the called party. The section looks like this: exten => s,1,Wait(0.5) exten => s,n,SendDTMF(9531290) exten => s,n,Wait(1.0) exten => s,n,Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE) To test I direct the call to a live extension just to hear what's happening -- what actually happens is that only the 9 is sent, and

I'm looking for an application that can monitor a channel for voice input and then proceed on. The closest thing I've found is BackgroundDetect, which expects DTMF. Here's what I'm doing: -Call file generated which calls someone and connects them to an extension. -Extension plays stuff, etc. etc. etc (not important) With digital or VoIP termination, this works fine, because *

I am using the Find-me/Follow-me example below with screening: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+tips+findme Here is my actual config: [macro-screen] exten => s,1,Wait(1) exten => s,n,Background(press-1-to-be-connected-to-the-caller) exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(response=5)) exten => 1,1,NoOp(Caller accepted) exten => i,1,Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE) exten =>

This is a followup to the posting earlier about Hunt Groups with Call Screening. I have implemented the following macro and for some reason the Macro does not exit and continue the context it was called from when the called party rejects the call - It always drops through to the NoOp at the end and connects the call. Below are two examples of the dial commands I am using to call the macro.

I am setting up an after-hours on-call system. Someone calls in and requests service, and while they listen to music on hold, we dial out to several people's cell phones and home phones. We don't know if they will be answered by the employee, or by voicemail or a spouse/relative/child/pet. So we play a message that says "press 1 to accept the call" and ask employees to train

I'd like to set some variables inside the macro called from Dial(). As far as I can tell, though, if you just do a SetVar inside the macro, it's set in a different context and isn't available to the code that calls the macro. Am I missing something? What's the right way to return data from the macro call? (Other than the MACRO_RESULT feature.) I'm using the

I am running into two problems: 1) The ringing stops during call screening once the extension picks up (but has not yet approved call) When a person calls and choose an extension, the Dial link is called and the person hears the ring -- but as soon as the receiving caller picks up (even though they have to approved the call), the ringing stops... the person calling hears silence. This is
