[asterisk-users] Call Stealing
Hi All, I'd appreciate some help on how to implement call stealing. That is, where you dial a code to redirect any call on the system to your handset. I'm getting rid of my BRI service and I'm trying to replace the functionality of my existing ISDN2e PBX (Cybergear Gold) with VOIP and Asterisk. On my ISDN PBX, the short-code *46 does this. For example, if I take a call on my living room extension and need to refer to some paperwork, I can go to the study, pick up that extension, dial *46, and the call is transferred to the study where I can continue the call with the paperwork to hand. It also helps if you take a call for someone else if that person can steal the call from your extension. Call parking provides a partial work-around but it's a pain having to remember to park a call before moving location. I haven't found an application for call stealing and can't figure out a way to do this. Can anyone help?

I don't think it would work with my hardware. I've got two Nortel 355 analog handsets, one plugged into my TDM400P card and the other via an IAXy ATA; two analog cordless handsets connected via Grandstream SIP ATAs; and three USB phones connected via softphones on two PCs and a Mac. Not a proper VOIP handset among them! As you can probably guess, I cobbled my system together from whatever I could get my hands on and niceties like SLA didn't enter my head at the time! However, SLA is functionally almost the same as call parking. In that system, I transfer the call to extension 700 and the parking system tells me the number (usually 701) I need to dial to retrieve the call. I can then hang up the original handset, go the new handset, and dial the given number to connect to the caller.

Re: [asterisk-users] Call Stealing
On Thursday, January 15, 2009, David Gibbons wrote: I'm confused as to why you think leaving a phone off the hook is better than parking the call and hanging up the phone. Simply that you don't have to remember to park the call. With call parking, if you forget to park the call before moving location you have to return to the original location, park the call, then try again. With call stealing, you can't forget to park the call because it's not required. The phone that's off the hook can't receive any more calls after you've 'pulled' the one it was on the line with, assuming you don't walk back to that phone and subsequently hang it up, making the originating extension effectively useless. The first person to walk by the handset who hears the engaged tone hangs up. I've been using this system for about eight years and it's never been an issue. Also, the originating extension isn't effectively useless because if you hear the phone in the next room ring, you can hang up the originating extension and within a couple of seconds it also rings so that you can take the call. Call parking and hanging up the originating extension is actually a more elegant solution in my opinion. I can see pros and cons to each. However, I (and all my family) are used to call stealing so it would be better if we could duplicate that rather than having to retrain everyone to use call parking. -- Geoff ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
