Please forgive me if I've overlooked something obvious here.

I'm working my way through the tutorial in
queues-with-callback-members.txt from the asterisk-1.4.20.1 src

I understand most of what is going on in these examples, except for this
one spot:
"...
6121 => &callagent(${RAQUEL});
6165 => &callagent(${SPEARS});
6170 => &callagent(${ROCK});
6070 => &callagent(${SALINE});
}

In the above, the variables ${RAQUEL}, etc stand for
actual devices to ring that person's
phone (like Zap/37)."


I understand that these statements will be sending the device specified
by variables such as ${RAQUEL} as an argument to the callagent macro.

However, I didn't notice where this variable gets set. Am I missing
something? I would expect that this variable would be set in extension
6092 of the queues-loginout context and destroyed in the extension 6093
of the same context.

I'm thinking I could alter the examples a bit and store those variables
in the Asterisk database. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't overlooked
something simpler that the document was trying to suggest.
