Re: [asterisk-users] pickupgroup
Why don't you just use an AGI/Table to control the pickup group? You can use contexts or other granular features to keep any number of clients in this 63 count (IMO). Thanks for your reply. How would I use an AGI to handle the pickup request? Would I control the whole pickup request? Or would the built-in pickup feature still be used. I just need a little more information to be able to understand what you mean and how to proceed. Thanks Dan -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

My take on this is that asterisk just isn't multi-tenant friendly. I have had outsanding success using LXC to separate asterisk instances on a single server without over-utilizing resources, and the problems you are having go away. We offer FreePBX web interfaces to our customers this way too, which you could never do otherwise. j -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Currently the number of callgroups/pickupgroups is limited to 63, because the
variable type that holds the group bits is a long long.
Ah, so it's a major change to get it to hold a larger number?
I was hoping I could just change the following line:-
if ((x 63) || (x 0)) {

OMG.
Group bits means, there is a 64 bit long register, and for the
pickupgroup 1 is the first bit set, for the pg2 is the second and so
on. Imagine some extension can be in more than 1 pickupgroup. In this
situation more than 1 bit set in that variable. There's no x here.

Gergo, i'm not sure what it's got to do with G-d, but I copied and pasted that
directly from the asterisk source code that deals with call pickup.
Thanks for your reply though. It was really helpful. :-S

[asterisk-users] pickupgroup / SIP / Cisc phones
List, I have successfully setup a couple of pickupgroups, and all works as it should (with *8#). Is there a way to configure my Cisco 7940/7960 phones, so one of the soft buttons send the *8# signal, thus picking up the call?
