I remember a thread similar to this a while ago but couldn't find. How
do I make Asterisk to interact with an IVR? (Nothing fancy, just plain
predictable voice menus like a conference bridge.) I get stuck at
Dial(), which seems to wait for hangup after the other end picks up.
You can send dtmf to the IVR with the D option in the dial command. show
application dial on the console will show you the syntax.

Thanks for the reply, Leo. D can do a maximum of one DTMF string. What
next? (At least two levels for calling card and conference bridges, more
for other things.) If people are using Asterisk as test equipment, there
must be a way to conduct a "dialogue" with an IVR?
Use "w" in the D() string to wait for .5 second. Use multiple w's to wait
longer.
That's a neat trick. Thanks, Eric. To expand on the concept of a
"dialogue", how sophisticated can it get? I'm thinking of less predictable
IVR's.
Although I'd not think of Asterisk as a replacement for Hammer, I'm
imagining one Asterisk doing functional test of another. Here's the
scenario:
*A (tester) dials *B (testee), invoking an IVR. Each menu item in *B ends
(or starts, if background) with a specific DTMF string that *A can intercept
so *A can easily identify where in the tree it is. This way, I can program
*B to walk every path in the IVR.
Is this possible?
