I got a Cisco 7960 phone recently, and have downloaded and set up Asterisk version 0.5.0. Very nice!
I've set up the software on a test box for now and have configured the system to route calls that start with 7 to FWD. Once I'm happy with my various tests, I will set this all up on a dedicated box, will get a couple of POTS interface cards and will set up some proper routes etc. Anyway, the FWD stuff works as expected, as does the answering machine. The problem I have is when I put a call on hold, or attempt to transfer a call (same issue, I expect). Once the call is put on hold, I can't resume it and, after a couple of seconds, I get a "Maximum retries exceeded" error (verbose mode). If I put a call on hold and just leave it that way then I get the same message and, of course, am unable to resume the call. I suspect that the Cisco 7960 configuration is at fault here, and am wondering if anyone has any advice. I have searched around with Google but have not found any answers, although I have found a few similar (and unanswered) questions. I have tried the latest Asterisk version from CVS but that doesn't seem to like my phone at all. For instance, the voicemail application won't read the DTMF tones and so won't allow me to enter a password. I suspect that there's some silly little Cisco configuration value that I've overlooked, but I just can't seem to find it. Thanks for any help that can be offered with this. I can live with version 0.5.0 and just not use hold/transfer, but I'd prefer to find a solution. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
