When you have a bunch of analog phones that you want to connect to asterisk, but those analog phones have no transfer button, what are the options to allow the phones to transfer a call?
You can setup a dial rule to do transfering based on keypresses. I can't give you specifics on how as I'm still using Trixbox which handles some of that stuff for you. But in my setup, I was able to turn on ## as a lead in for a transfer (ie: ##205 to transfer the call to extension 205). This worked fine for softphones.
When I got my Mediatrix box working correctly and connected actual analog phones, I planned to do the same, but the Mediatrix seems to override something and instead reads a hook flash as the transfer key, so on my actual analog phones, I just flash and then dial the extension and it transfers.
The ## is still active for my softphones, so I think my flash setup on the analogs is something being done by the Mediatrix box itself (I think it may be generating whatever a transfer button on an IP phone does)
