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?
Not in the dialplan with Dial(). You MIGHT be able to do so with a
.call file and an AGI script, but I don't know for sure.
