Re: [Asterisk-Users] Limiting incoming SIP calls & OriginalCallerID on transfer
OK, I've fixed the '#' transfer problem. We setup a macro for dialing staff extensions, however, it was missing the 'tr' options on the Dial application: [macro-staff-extension] ; Macro for Staff Extensions exten => s,1,Dial(${ARG2},20,tr) <-- exten => s,2,Voicemail(u${ARG1}) exten => s,102,Voicemail(b${ARG1}) exten => s,103,Hangup I added the 'tr' and we can now perform call transfers while preserving the correct CallerID information.
