Can anyone suggest a way to randomly pick an outbound trunk so that all trunks are used equally? I’m all about Equal Trunk Opportunity… Seriously though, I’ve got 500 minutes per softphone account and I’d like to use an equal amount on each as to not see overages on any particular account until all have been depleted.
Use this:
CLI> show application random CLI> -= Info about application 'Random' =-
[Synopsis]: Conditionally branches, based upon a probability
[Description]: Random([probability]:[[context|]extension|]priority) probability := INTEGER in the range 1 to 100
I am at the same point.
The application Random() sounds for the first moment good, but thinking deeper it is not that much help, because, if you have two outbound lines, than it is easy:
1-2-1 and you jump either to 1 or 2 with a 50% chance, and if busy you go to the next line, however with 3 lines it starts to get complicated, with 4 it is not easy handelable and with latest 5 you are seeking an agi!!!!!! The problem is, that after you jump the first time and that particular line is busy, than you should jump again (Random), but without the lines you had already found as busy!!! After all tries are used and still a busy line, than it should send you a warning email, while the caller gets "congestion"..
my 2cents
