similar to: Phones don't stop ringing when queue is answered

James, The WaitExten()s just provide a pause between the two Queue() calls to let the first group of phones finish ringing. In this example I am ringing the same group (queue_level_1) twice, however in a real-world scenario I would ring queue_level_1 and then ring queue_level_2 which each have a different list of phones. Thanks, Andrew ----- Original Message ----- > From: "James

Hello, I am running Asterisk 11 on CentOS 6.x. I have configured several queues as follows in extensions.conf: exten => s,1,Queue(myqueue,rtnC,18) same => n,Background(user_unavail) same => n,WaitExten(10) exten => 1,1,Voicemail(1111 at my-vm,s) This rings the phones in the queue for 18 seconds. If no queue members answer, the caller is then prompted to press 1 and leave a

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?

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 =>

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 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

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

I want to create a script for IVR that compiles responses, aggregates them to a total number. Then, run an equation based on the result. Press 1 for X (X is a positive number 500) Press 2 for Y (Y is a positive number 200) Press 3 for Z (Z is a positive number 300) Press 20 to calculate the results = 500+200+300 =1000 then, exten => s,n,Read(NUMBER,,1000) exten => s,n,SayDigits(${NUMBER})

Hi there; I didn't see any "G" option in the example above, and the usage for the option parameters is entirely undocumented at https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Application_Dial The G options are as below G - If the call is answered, transfer the calling party to the specified priority and the called party to the specified priority plus one. context exten

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

I am using a context to change values in a DB. Currently in my context, I am passing it to exten => s,1,WaitExten(7) ; 7 seconds to input exten => s,n,Set(NEW_VAR=${EXTEN}) ;Here is my problem. This is the only way I know how to 'grab' user input, which was normally from ${EXTEN} but I realize this won't work for extension 's'...... The short google search I did

Hi all! I need a simple plan for the following: *answer call *wait for 4 digit extension *send call to 4-digit extension entered.

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);

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

Hello list, I'm having DTMF-troubles with a Snom phone. I want to know if it's the Snom or Asterisk that makes the trouble.

I'd like multiple people to be able to dial in and listen to various live radio streams. I was told that the correct resource-friendly way would be to setup a MoH class, and then select that from the dialplan. This works well, but how do I switch between streams? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from previous similar questions a few years ago it seems like once you've entered a
