Hi Matt,

That is exactly what I am doing now and it has solved my problem. Now all
the calls originate instantly with no noticeable delay.

 Not true - you can use Async mode in an Asterisk Manager originate
 command to create a call and return instantly.

Hi Danny,

This is exactly what I am doing, but it takes a few seconds before all the
extensions are ringing. The loop takes its time.

I need something as quick as Dial(SIP/201SIP/202... which is truly call all
at once, but it connects only two channels, i.e. the first once which picked
up, and then stops ringing the rest.

Use an AGI that does a Mass originate/call to ring everyone at once.  Have
the AGI do an originate loop using a context to dump into the conference and
call it from the dialplan like this:

- exten = s,1,AGI(massconf.agi|ext1|ext2|ext3|ext4|ext5.)

Subject: [asterisk-users] How to dial multiple extensions at once like in
aring group and put them in conference?

 

Hi,

I have to set this up for a client, where he could dial multiple extensions
at once, and then put all who picks up into a conference.

I am using a script which does it using originate command. But the originate
commands run one after another, and so it takes a few seconds to call the
extensions, one after another. This is not acceptable by the client.

If I use Dial(SIP/201SIP/202..., it is like a ringgroup, where if one
extension picks up, others stop ringing.

Is there a way to dial all the extensions at once and then put them in the
conference?
