[asterisk-users] Dialer listen Hold music when he use Attended Transfer!

2016-10-06 Thread Mandar Khire
Hi,
I am trying to learn Attended Transfer.
I have 3 extension 6001,6002,6003.
When 6001 got call from 6002. After accepting it, 6001 decide to use
Attended transfer to 6003.
So he dial *26003, then call connect to 6003. Now 6002 & 6003 can talk each
other.
But 6001 who initiate attended transfer got music in call.
When 6003 disconnect call then again 6001 resume on call & can hear 6001's
words.

Is this happening is right or I do some thing mistake so I got this results.
For ref following dialplan & features I used.
In features.conf
parkext => 700
parkpos => 701-750
context => parkedcalls

blindxfer => #1
atxfer => *2
parkcall => #72

In extensions.conf

exten => _6XXX,1,Answer()
exten => _6XXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},,Tt)
exten => _6XXX,n,Hangup()

Need help.
Thanks.

You can do that in your dialplan, without any additional software!  All you 
*might* have to do is patch your existing dialler software  (or more probably, 
just do an ALTER on a database table)  so it can handle a string five times the 
length of a normal phone number.

Now you just have to concatenate together all the possible phone numbers for a 
client.

Pass the string of concatenated numbers to your dialplan; spot that it is much 
longer than a normal phone number; and send it off to a special context which 
will split the number up, and then try each section in turn until one answers.


In countries where they still have different-length phone numbers, you probably 
will need to introduce a * as a delimiter between each number and the next.

[asterisk-users] Dialer software for Asterisk...

2014-02-14 Thread Carlos Chavez
I have a customer with a more or less unique need.  Right now we 
are using Wombat as a dialer software so they can contact clients for QA 
purposes.  Everything is working very well and their contact center 
productivity is way up from the old manual dialing method.


The only thing we are having a problem with is that they have up to 
5 phone numbers to contact a single customer.  Obviously we cannot load 
all numbers into the dialer because we do not want to contact the same 
customer 5 times.  Does anyone know of a dialer for Asterisk that can 
take several phone numbers for the same contact and if any of those 
answers it will not try the other numbers?  Most of the dialers I have 
looked at cannot relate information for different numbers so there is no 
way to tell if you have already contacted a specific customer with a 
different number.


I really do not want to develop a new dialer software (well, while 
the dialer is not that difficult the interfaces, reports and backends 
are a pain to maintain).  Anyone know of a commercial or open source 
software that can handle this kind of dialing?

[asterisk-users] Dialer program

2009-06-10 Thread Carlos Ruiz Diaz
Hello,

I am looking for a dialer program, free or not, that allows me to perform
scheduled calls, generate reports and let me upload sound files. Is there
something that fits these features?.

If there is not any product like I mentioned before I am interested to build
this kind of software but I need ideas to make it useful for technical and
non-technical people.

I don't want to spend my time in something that nobody is going to use. Do
you people think that a dialer could be considered a successful project?

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't matter where the program resides as long as it can interact with
your asterisk (FTP, HTTP, etc).  You just have to have the right accesses

 Does anyone know of a small lightweight windows 'dialer' application I

 the preconfigured DN of the hardphone at the user's desk)

  

 Ideally a phone number would be 'selected' from within any windows
 application and the call would be triggered via hotkey, or a
 right-click menu or by clicking a system tray icon.

  

 There are scads of outlook-only options (no thanks), and I've found
 and tried the Asterisk Dialer 1.0, which I don't like because it
 depends on Yahoo widgets (heavy) AND it requires nearly as many
 discreet actions to dial a number as just typing them on the phone
 itself.  

  

 Ideal would be something very 'efficient' with at most two or three
 discreet actions needed to dial-- (i.e. 1:Select, 2:Hotkey--done!)

  

 Any ideas?  Any Happy customers?

I did something for a customer some time back - however they had a custom 
written application for making outgoing sales/support type calls - their 
application could reference a URL on a web server in response to an action 
on a number, so it was easy to make it reference a url on the asterisk PBX 
that did:

//  Usage: dx.php?a=1x=111y=222z=333
//  Where   x is the extension number of the desk phone (111)
//  y is the billing extension (222)
//  z is the number to dial. (333)
//  a is optional, and if set to non-zero then it will attempt
//  to make the extension auto-answer.

The code:

?

   $a = $HTTP_GET_VARS ['a'] ;
   $x = $HTTP_GET_VARS ['x'] ;
   $y = $HTTP_GET_VARS ['y'] ;
   $z = $HTTP_GET_VARS ['z'] ;

   if (empty ($x) || empty ($y) || empty ($z))
 exit ;

   if (empty ($a))
 $chan = SIP/$x ;
   else
 $chan = Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ;

   $fd = fopen (/tmp/dialOut.$x, w) ;

   fwrite ($fd, Channel: $chan
MaxRetries: 0
WaitTime: 10

Context: internal
Extension: $z
Priority: 1
Callerid: $y\n) ;

   fclose ($fd) ;
   system (/bin/mv /tmp/dialOut.$x /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/dx.$x) ;
?

you might need to make sure the outgoing spool directory is writable by 
whatever php is running as...


And a bit on extensions.conf:

;   A few lines to work with the dx.php script. This is executed when
;   the a=1 parameter is passed to the script and is designed to make the
;   target phone answer the call immediately.

exten = _doDialX.,1,Noop(Got to doDial for ${EXTEN:6})
exten = _doDialX.,n,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info: answer-after=0)
exten = _doDialX.,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:6})


; Note: The above works for Grandstream phones.
;   For Snom phones, you may need:
;   SIPAddHeader(Call-Info: sip:1.2.3.4\;answer-after=0)
;   where 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of the DSX system


Use it at your own risk ,etc. blah :)


So someone would need to come up with a windows/mac/linux front-end to it 
that poked the URL at the asterisk box - I suspect that's the hard part...

And if a push came to a shove, then it would be trivial to write a web 
page that just took a number in a box and did the same stuff above to 
create the .call file, so it would then be a copy  paste operation...

(actually, this is already in my pbx software, but not many people make 
use of it )-:

2008-12-08 Thread Danny Nicholas
This sounds like a job for a VB.NET programmer.  The program would run like
a DDE server and ftp a call file to your asterisk server on the desired
action.

Subject: [asterisk-users] 'dialer' application to trigger call
betweenhardphone and number

 

Does anyone know of a small lightweight windows 'dialer' application I can
use to trigger a call (via call file or AMI) from any application?  (The
call would be placed between the target number, and the preconfigured DN of
the hardphone at the user's desk)

 

Ideally a phone number would be 'selected' from within any windows
application and the call would be triggered via hotkey, or a right-click
menu or by clicking a system tray icon. 

 

There are scads of outlook-only options (no thanks), and I've found and
tried the Asterisk Dialer 1.0, which I don't like because it depends on
Yahoo widgets (heavy) AND it requires nearly as many discreet actions to
dial a number as just typing them on the phone itself.   

 

Ideal would be something very 'efficient' with at most two or three discreet
actions needed to dial-- (i.e. 1:Select, 2:Hotkey--done!)

 

Any ideas?  Any Happy customers?

There are a few web-based ones - is that an option at all?

 Just to make it easy, I will be reading the caller list from a another

 server via a web page, parsing it and dialing.
 After each pass, I just post back to the server web page and it 
 updates the other system.
 Our tech just needs to review the log once daily.

That is basically what I did for a customer.  I have a DB that is
filtered pursuant to 47 CFR 64.1200 and 16 CFR 310 (US federal laws
concerning these types of systems -- not calling to the US, dont worry
about it).  I wrote some tools to make that a snap.  I then have 1-N
clients pull from the DB servier via HTTP to get the next number to dial
and context to goto.  The dialplan updates the DB via HTTP so the status
of a given number is known and prevents duplicate calls.

I added answering machine detection to my asterisk server and a few
other things to make the dialing slightly better.  

The way it works they can have many many calling systems if they need,
nothing has to be local to each other.  Reports can be generated off any
data that is available (timestamps of events, status of calls, etc).

This is perfect for dr appt reminders, batch calls saying 'your product
has been shipped' etc.

I'm supposed to have a mostly canned script that will do this done
already.  It will pull the list of people to call out of a db and play
them the file specified in the db table.  Contact me offlist if you're
interested.  It will be done real soon but I'm not done testing yet.

   Hello All,

   I am having trouble finding a specific * piece of software so I
   thought I would see If you guys can help me get my terminology
   


clear.
 


   First off let me premise this with no, this is absolutely not for
   doing call marketing.
   I need to make my Asterisk box call a group of people and play
   them a message.
   My company deals with education so we need to do follow ups if
   students are not logging on.
   We do this manually now but it would be easier and cheaper to just
   play them a message.

   What is the term I should be looking for?  I keep thinking auto
   dialer or something like that but I am not quite getting there.

   Any help would be appreciated.  I have been learning a bit of Perl
   so I was thinking I could auto generate and AGI file and then just
   do a Play() of the mp3 when they pick up at the other end?  Seems
   a little kludge though.


   Thanks,
   Wiley

You actually aren't far from it. If the system only needs 
to play the same file to each person, a simple script can be used to pull from a

calls and playa sound. A few minutes of searching on that should get you
