Hi,
Can someone please help me understand a little more about Group
configuration ?
I believe that Group Membership is configured in the
\conf\directory\default.xml file
I've done this and the caller groups seem to work fine.
However, each extension in the \conf\directory\default directory, e.g.,
111.xml also has an entry for "callgroup"
Can someone explain what the difference in these two options is please ?
The groups defined in conf/directory/default.xml correspond to the "group"
channel or group_call API as can be found in conf/dialplan/default.xml,
extensions 2000, 2001, and 2002.
Go to the fs_cli and type this:
group_call sa...@1.1.1.1 (where 1.1.1.1 is your FS IP addr)
You'll see that it returns a nicely formatted multiple dialstring for dialing
everyone in the group.
These have nothing to do with the "callgroup" variable that is defined on
each user in the default directory. That is just a variable - it isn't required
and doesn't have to be used, but it's available if you want it for some reason.
(For example, it will show up in XML CDRs for auth'd calls from the user.)
Bottom line: if you're trying to dial multiple users (i.e. "group call") then
just use the group definitions in the directory and use either the group_call
API (like in ext 2000) or use the "group" channel (like in ext 2001 and 2002).
