Hello,
In short it is a "feature" where Asterisk would perform
a call transfer between external (BRI) connections and
free up its BRI channels as soon as the transfer is completed.
More specifically:
A - Public Number accessed via BRI
B - Public Number accessed via BRI
X - Private Number, Asterisk Managed
1. X dials A and initiates a conversation
(one of the B channels of the BRI link is used)
2. X puts A on hold and calls B for an attended transfer
(the 2nd B channel on the BRI link is used)
3. X gets back to A and transfers the call putting
A in direct contact with B
(both B channels on the BRI link would be freed,
allowing other incoming/outgoing calls while A talks
to B)
As far as i understood you correct this feature is called ECT (Explicit
Call Transfer).
Of course this kind of functionality will depend on the operator.
The question is, if the operator supports it can Asterisk +
chan_misdn do it ?
No chan_misdn does not support that at the moment.
