Re: [asterisk-users] How to dial multiple extensions at once like in aring group and put them in conference?
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.) _ From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Zeeshan Zakaria Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 9:19 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion 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? -- Zeeshan A Zakaria ___ -- 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

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.

Have you tryed to generate .call files at once ? ___ -- 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

I think I should try the .call files. I haven't tried them in this particular scenario yet. Miguel, what exactly you mean by calling asynchronously? I do 'originate' in a 'while' loop once I have retrieved all the extensions to dial from the database. -- Zeeshan A Zakaria On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 11:07 AM, Miguel Molina mmol...@millenium.com.cowrote: Zeeshan Zakaria escribió: Hi Danny, This is exactly what I am doing, but it takes a few seconds before all the extensions are ringing.

I mean using the originate action with the Async option enabled, as explained here: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Manager+API+Action+Originate I wonder if you are waiting for a response (Synchronous) or if you are using that option (Asynchronous), which is clearly faster.

If you aren't doing an explicit async: true, then you are synchronous.

Async: True was the solutions to my problem.
