[asterisk-users] Understanding local channels
Can someone point me to a good tutorial / explanation of local channels? I've been using them without really understanding what is going on, and we all know how dangerous that is! I've read http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+local+channels but I'm just not quite getting it. -- Mitch -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Understanding local channels
Here's my current specific scenario. I have a working call me now
solution on our web site. The customer types in their phone number, it
goes into our normal sales asterisk queue via an AMI action. When the
agent answers the call, he gets a brief announcement then asterisk dials
the customer's number. (This works in Asterisk 11. There is an
apparent bug in asterisk 12 with queue variables:
https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24267) It works, but
I'm struggling to understand how.
*AMI Action:*
Action: Originate
Channel: Local/s@callmenow/n
Context: dial-to-customer
Exten: s
Priority: 1
Async: true
Variable: MMCALLMENOWID=107
Timeout: 99
Callerid: Call Me Now 778
*Dial Plan:*
[callmenow]
exten = s,1,NoOp(callmenow: Queue without answer)
same =n,Queue(sales,Rtc)
[dial-to-customer]
exten = s,1,NoOp(dial-to-customer channel=${CHANNEL(name)})
same =n,Wait(1)
same =n,Playback(custom/callmenow-announce)
; do some more stuff
same
=n,Dial(${TOLL}/${MMCUSTOMER_NUMBER},,TKU(dial-to-cust-connect-sub))

That wiki page isn't REALLY detailed. To what level are you wanting to
know more about, Mitch?
