Re: [asterisk-users] Transfers - No ringback or moh

2006-07-27 Thread Martin Schrott - Thinking-Systems
Hi Mike, Hi all,

really works. ;-)
But that can not be the solution for the future? :-) Can it?

I think there should be an ANSWER() implimented in the Transfer function to
prevent this problem ...
Or does anybody have other ideas?

greetings,
Martin

I get round this bug by replacing:

exten = X,1,Dial(sip/blah)

with:

exten = X,1,Answer
exten = X,n,Dial(sip/blah)

It means the call is in an answered state before it starts ringing but
it doesn't seem to cause any major problems.

 Hi all,

 I cannot exactly reproduce your problems, but I can tell you, what problem
 we have on this topic:

 a calles b.
 b takes the call and can speak to a.
 b sets up a attendend transfer (via the softkey configured in asterisk)
to
 c and hears ringing.
 a hears music on hold.
 b hears ringing

 if c answeres and b hanges up, everything is fine.

 now the problem:
 if b hangs up, before c has answered (during ringing) a will loose the
 connection and also be hanged up.

 I think this should not happen! The transfer should automatically be
changed
 to blind and a should get the ringing played back instead of b.

 Hope, you can understand my problem and may have any ideas or thoughts.

[asterisk-users] Transfers - No ringback or moh

2006-07-24 Thread Douglas Garstang



I don't know 
why, but when doing transfers between Polycom phones, once the transferring 
party hits transfer a second time, to be removed from the call, User A no longer 
hears music on hold, or a ring back.

Scenario.
1. User A dials User B. 

2. User A and User B are 
connected.
3. User B hits the transfer soft key. User A gets music 
on hold. 
4. User B dials user C. User C's phone rings, and user 
A continues to hear music on hold.
5. When User B presses the transfer soft key again to 
complete the transfer, the music on hold for User A 
stops.

Question is, why?

Because user B just did an attended transfer.

I have a Polycom IP501 sitting on my desk (Test phone):

   I call it with my Avaya phone
   pick up the ringing extension
   press transfer button (I hear hold music on the Avaya)
   I dial the voice mail extension on the Asterisk
   I press the transfer button again.
   Hold music stops and I hear Comedian Mail.

So, is the dead air that you hear, the silence that you would get when 
the hold music stops and both parties have been bridged, or no audio is 
passes at all?

I don't know... all I know is that when user C starts to ring, and user B has 
dropped from the call, the music on hold stops for user A, until user C 
answers. I would have expected User A to hear ringing at this point.

Then they need to do a blind transfer.

Transfer button,

Blind (Soft button)
Extensions or phone number to transfer too

Depending on your digit map for the Polycom, you may have to press 
something after that.


My digit map matches against 4 digit extensions that we use internally, 
7 and 10 digit number starting with a 9 are also matched.

Doug,

The transfer soft button can do both attended and non attended transfers. If 
user B presses the transfer soft button before user C picks up, it's an 
unattended transfer. If user B presses the transfer soft button after user C 
has answered, then it's an attended transfer.

Doing a blind/unattended transfer isn't going to make any difference, as the 
ringback (or lack of it) to user A, occurs as soon as user B presses the 
transfer soft button a second time.

Don't see what the Polycom digit map has to do with it. 

Doug.

I'm not able reproduct this.  If I don't select Blind before entering 
the extension or number when transferring to user C, it only offers a 
cancel or split.  Once user C answers, then I'm offered the Transfer 
soft button.

Not wanting to press yet another button.

People (Users that is) seem to think, pressing less is better.

Doug, as it turns out, the transfer button on the polycom and the transfer soft 
button, both behave in exactly the same way. 

If user B wants to transfer user A to user C, ATTENDED, user B simply presses 
the transfer button and waits for user C to pick up before pressing the 
transfer button again. 

If user B wants to transfer user A to user C, UNATTENDED, user B simply presses 
the transfer button and presses it again before user C picks up.

In any case, when the phone of user C is ringing, user A does not hear a ring.

Doug.

When the extension on your desk is ringing, after you have pressed transfer key

Following your example, pressing transfer once, entering the extension 
(Caller C's) does not yield a second transfer option until C answers.  
Pressing the button anyway, does not get a response from the phone.


When (B) selects the initial transfer, I have Cancel, Name, Blind.

Not exactly.  There's an option in the Polycom config to disallow
unattended attended transfers.  In other words, you do not have the
option to press Transfer while you are getting in a RINGING progress
state.  Sounds Like one of you has that option enabled, the other has
it disabled.  I don't know exactly what the option is, but I've seen
it before.
