Hi Richard,
there was a thread regarding this a while ago on the dev list which resulted
in a patch being made to allow variable passing via IAX2 channels. See
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7619 for the patch which I think is in
SVN or anyhow, is not in 1.2
I have recently backported this patch to 1.2 and have a patch which is
tested against 1.2.12, 1.2.12.1 and 1.2.15, but should work against at least
1.2.13 and 1.2.14. The patch introduces a new dialplan function called
IAXVAR, Email me if interested.
Craig

Hi all,
We currently have 2 Asterisk boxes and we pass calls to a fro. All works
great except we now need to pass variables between them.
For example now on box 1 we have:
exten => _23XX,1,SetVar(Foo=1234)
exten => _23XX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
When the call dials into Box 2 the variable Foo does not get passed...
Does anyone have any clever ideas?
as noted in asterisk/docs/README.variables (iirc)
you should see that variable inheritance can occur by prefacing the
variable with '_' or '__'
also, depending on the age of your asterisk you might want to start using
'Set' vice 'SetVar'
also, having ${EXTEN:0} , the :0 doesn't do anything, so you should not
use it and just have ${EXTEN}
i hope this helps
sadly replying to my own post, but, i forgot to mention that
passing variables with IAX2 can be an issue sometimes when you use
user and peer (the user side can pass vars the peer side can not, or
doesn't accept them iirc)
this does not happen using friend, but that has its own issues... check
the wiki for more thoughts about this.
