[Asterisk-Users] transfers with zap channel

2005-01-17 Thread Paul Fielding



Ok, I've seen discussion before on doing transfers 
(attended and unattended), there seems to be much confusion over 
it.

As things sit, I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to 
do transfers with a zap channel (analog phone attached to TDM400). I have 
no idea what I'm missing. My current understanding is that I need to have 
transfer=yes in zapata.conf, do a flash hook, dial the 2nd number, flash hook 
again and we're linked (attended). Then if I hang up the call will 
be transfered.

However, when I try to do this things don't 
work. Here's what I do:

- connection is made between Zap/3 (analog phone) 
and Zap/1 (outside line).
- flash hook to get dialtone (I do get 
dialtone)
- attempt to transfer to extension 7007 - I dial 
7007
- after dialing the 2nd zero, and before dialing 
the 2nd seven, I hear Asterisk announce (seven - zero - one) and then Zap/3 is 
hung up (I get a busy signal). Zap/1 gets parked.

Here's what the log shows:

 -- Zap/1-1 answered 
Zap/3-1 -- Attempting native bridge of Zap/3-1 and 
Zap/1-1 -- Started three way call on channel 
1 -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on 
Zap/3-1 -- Attempting native bridge of Zap/3-1 and 
Zap/1-1 -- Starting simple switch on 
'Zap/1-2' -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on 
Zap/3-1 == Parked Zap/3-1 on 701. Will timeout back to dostuff,7001,1 
in 45 seconds -- Added extension '701' priority 1 to 
parkedcalls -- Playing 'digits/7' (language 
'en') -- Hungup 'Zap/1-1' == Spawn extension 
(dostuff, 7001, 1) exited non-zero on 
'Parked/Zap/3-1ZOMBIE' -- Stopped music on hold on 
Parked/Zap/3-1ZOMBIE -- Playing 'digits/0' 
(language 'en') -- Playing 'digits/1' (language 
'en') -- Parking call to 'Zap/1-2' 
-- Hungup 'Zap/1-2' -- Stopped music on hold on 
Zap/3-1 == Zap/3-1 got tired of being parked -- 
Hungup 'Zap/3-1'

I'm not sure what I'm missing. Apparently 
something to do with parked calls, so I must be misunderstanding how do to the 
call transfer.

I've also tried enabling Asterisk transfer on the 
channel (exten = 7010,1,Dial(${CORDLESS},20,tT)).
My understanding of this method is that this allows 
one to hit the pound (#) to start a transfer. Yet pound does 
nothing. Is it fair to assume that the tT only works on SIP channels, or 
am I missing something else.

Any help is much appreciated

How long between getting parked is the orginal call 
dropping? 

Depending on your dialplan, yes dialing 700x will 
almost immediately send the call to call parking. (IMHO, poor extension planning 
can also cause this.)

I don't use the t or T optionsPERIOD. 
IMHO, you just lose the ability to use the # key and confused the heck out of my 
users. Took it out and use the flash method only in my dial plan. 
Dial 700, park the call. Dial the other extension, tell them to pick up 
701. Or use meetme for conference calling?

I know I need to play with three way calling here 
also.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] transfers with zap channel

2005-01-17 Thread Paul Fielding



The outside line isn't actually being dropped - the 
outside line hanging up is me hanging up the outside line after finding that my 
transfer failed.

I must be not understanding how the flash-hook 
works then. My understanding was that when I flash-hook and get a second 
dialtone I should be able to dial the extention I want to reach (7007 is another 
extension, via SIP). Normally, if I pick up the analog phone and dial 7007 
it rings the extention fine. Apparently, though, when you get that 
second dialtone, it has different rules? I haven't been able to find 
documentation on this, can it be found anywhere? For example, why does 
dialing 700 park the call? I haven't found anything on this... 
*shrug*...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] transfers with zap channel

2005-01-17 Thread Paul Fielding



Ah, suddenly everything becomes clear. 
I've never looked in features.conf before. I now understand that 700 is 
supposed to intitiate the call park, and it's taking precidence over the 
extension I was trying to dial of 7007. I've changed the call parking 
extension and now I can do regular attended and unattended transfers without 
having to park the call... 
(note to anyone else changing features.conf, you 
have to 'restart' asterisk, a 'reload' won't do).

thanks a bunch for the help, guys...
