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

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. -- AJS Answers come *after* questions. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

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

[asterisk-users] Dialer program

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.

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...

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).
