Once the call is answered, your PSTN gateway shouldn't be involved in the 
transfer process. When a call is transferred it is handled by the proxy, and 
your UA's (phones, target1/target2) should be able to handle this procedure.

If ANY call comes in from the PSTN and hits an AA, and then can transfer to an 
extension successfully, it means your PSTN gateway handles the refer properly. 
Once audio is established with a target, you should be able to tarnsfer 
repeatedly.

If it is a siptrunking device, Ingate for example, you should make sure the 
ITSP supports the feature, and your SBC or siptrunk gateway does as well.

I has "subsequent transfer failures" with an Ingate using a siptrunk, but 
solved it here: http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XECS-2098

Hi,

I am curious about the best practices for transferring external incoming
calls.

The scenario is very common: Source (an external number) calls target1
(an internal number, SipX user). Target1 transfers the call to target2
(another internal number). This models a common case of a secretary
transferring calls.

I understand that SIP-wise, the scenario depends on REFER request sent
from target1 device to the device representing the source. As the source
is a PSTN number, the device representing the source is either a gateway
or a SIP trunking equipment which don't know about the target2 internal
number. What is the best way of getting the gateway/trunking equipment
to know about target2?

Regards,
Gabor
