PostPosted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 8:03 pm    Post subject: [asterisk-users] Parked calls - can't pickup Reply with quote

I have a simple asterisk install (1.4.1Cool, and want to use call parking. I
can successfully park a call (I see on the CLI that the call is parked to
701). Everything is pretty default.

However, I can't pickup a call from another phone. When I dial 701 from a
phone, asterisk can't find that extensions and notifies the person picking
up that the extension doesn't exist. (It appears that asterisk is looking
for extension 701 in my dialplan).

Any idea what is wrong? It seems like one of those RTFM questions...but
I've checked the wiki and don't see the problem.

You need to make sure that you've included the "parkedcalls" context
inside the context that the other phone is dialing into. This
parkedcalls context isn't one you create in your dialplan... it's one
that's created in memory when features.conf is parsed.

Did you pay attention to the following bit?

----------8><----------------snip
For simple dialplans first edit features.conf as desired, then put this
into your extensions.conf
<http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+config+extensions.conf>:
include => parkedcalls

I have 2 contexts in my extensions.conf: internal and external calls. I
have included the parkedcalls context in both.

Do I need to preface the include with a # symbol?

No, you do not. You simply need a like that says:

include => parkedcalls

A couple of things to check:

1) make sure you haven't changed the context name in features.conf (from
"parkedcalls" to something else) and
2) you can always type "dialplan show 701 at context-name" from the
Asterisk CLI to see what would match if you dialed extension 701 in that
context.

It looks like I have a conflict! (See results of diaplan show below). How
can I force the parkedcalls context to be matched first? (I include
parkedcalls before I define the _X. priority).

pbx*CLI> dialplan show 701 at entryocginternal
[ Context 'entryocginternal' created by 'pbx_config' ]
'_X.' => 1. Macro(dialexternal|${EXTEN}|${dialaccount})
[pbx_config]
2. Goto(s|1)
[pbx_config]
[ Included context 'parkedcalls' created by 'res_features' ]
'701' => 1. ParkedCall(701)
[res_features]

-= 2 extensions (3 priorities) in 2 contexts. =-
pbx*CLI>

Another clue...I repeated the dialplan show command for the 700 extension
and it too is listed AFTER the _X. match. However, forward a call to 700
works. Why would calling 701 not pickup the call? (Why is it matching the
_X. extension)

Thanks!

pbx*CLI> dialplan show 700 at entryocginternal
[ Context 'entryocginternal' created by 'pbx_config' ]
'_X.' => 1. Macro(dialexternal|${EXTEN}|${dialaccount})
[pbx_config]
2. Goto(s|1)
[pbx_config]
[ Included context 'parkedcalls' created by 'res_features' ]
'700' => 1. Park()
[res_features]

You can always point your phones at a new context that looks like:

[some-other-context-name]
include => parkedcalls
include => entryocginternal
