Completely normal operation.
You need to read and understand more basic telephony and analog lines to
understand why that won't work.
Asterisk needs to be in control, and once someone answers a phone not under
Asterisk control, or the call is abandoned there is little you can do.
Sounds like a task for a simple answering machine from Wal-Mart
All you other phones should be connected to FXS ports, or you need to be
smarter in your dialplan.
Once you answer, Asterisk is behaving normally

Hi again,
thanks for your answer, but it didn't solve the problem. That Dial command
returns inmediately, so I don't even have the delay.
I'll try to explain myself better. The PBX has only one FXO card, connected to
the PSTN. There is no other phones connected to the PBX nor SIP extensions.
There are analog phones connected to the same PSTN.
What I try to do is that, when there is an incoming call from the ouside, if
someone answers on a phone, then the PBX won't answer.
Thanks.

Hi,
your concept using Wait() won't work here.
Try it like this:
[incoming]
exten => s,1,Dial(DAHDI/1234,30) ; This will ring the phone 30s
exten => s,n,BackGround(wellcome-message)
exten => s,n,Voicemail(1234)
exten => #,1,Hangup()
So, of you answer the call within 30s, you'll get the call on your
phone. After 30s, the Voicemail will answer the phone.
regards,
Ruben

Hello,
I'm configuring an Asterisk PBX to use as an answering machine. I have a
FXO card connected to the line, and other analog telephones connected to
the same line. The PBX answers and redirects you to the voicemail after
a delay.
The problem is that even if I pickup any analog phone in the line before
the PBX does, it answers after the delay anyway. And I couldn't find how
to prevent this, or even if this is supposed to happen.
My FXO card is a cheap X100P (source of problems, I know), and I'm using
the Asterisk version included in Debian Squeeze (1.6.2.9).
My dial plan looks like this:
[incoming]
exten => s,1,Wait(8)
exten => s,2,Answer
exten => s,3,BackGround(wellcome-message)
exten => s,4,Voicemail(1234)
exten => #,1,Hangup
I don't know if this is related, but I'm in Spain and I had to add:
hanguponpolarityswitch=yes
to the chan_dahdi.conf file so that asterisk detects the remote hangup.
I also added:
answeronpolarityswitch=yes
but this didn't help. It seems to be used just to detect the answer when
you are calling, not when receiving a call.
I'd appreciate any help you could provide.
Thanks!
