I have a small * install for my home office. I have three pots lines into the house. One line incoming is the house phone. One line incoming is the business line. The third line is connected to the fax machine(which is NOT used much. One fax a day is a busy fax day). I programmed * to use the fax line as the first outgoing line. So I don't want * to answer the fax line, but it is always answered on the first ring by the fax machine.
I put the zap channel for the fax line in the context outonly and put this in extensions.conf. Works fine here. [outonly] exten => s,1,Wait,20 ; setup for fax line to stop ringing exten => s,2,Hangup Lyle ----- Original Message ----- From: "C F" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Wilson Pickett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 8:11 PM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] How to set asterisk NOT to answer incoming lines? > but did you test this, and it worked for you? if you had a device > connected to that pots in front of * it would keep ringing? > > > > On Thu, 13 Jan 2005 19:18:32 +0100, Wilson Pickett > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > How do I set asterisk not to answer incoming PSTN POTS calls?
