Apparently asterisk's default way to a 3-way conference lets the user in the middle hangup and the other parties stay on the conversation. This is great some times but it creates quite a bit of problems when trunks dont have disconnect supervision or when trying to do accounting and billing on the user.
Here is the 'normal' situation when a user tries the setup a 3 way conference once the user is already on the phone with someone he called. 1. Press 'Flash' on the phone. Party B will now be placed on hold and you will hear a dial tone. 2. Dial party C's number or a pre-configured speed dial followed by '#', (you can engage in conversation). 3. Press 'Flash' to join both C and B to a single conference. 4. When you place the phone's handset on-hook, party B and party C will remain in conversation. After step 4, B and C remain on the conversation and I am looking for a way to disable this without disabling 3 way calling. Basically I am looking for a way to force asterisk hang up both B and C once the 'middle' user hangs up so this will not leave channels stuck on trunks without disconnect supervision. Anyone know how to accomplish this? Any comments appreciated. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
