I think you need to use ParkAndAnnounce instead of Park to get the call back.

Danny,

I have parkext set to 7000, parkpos set to 7060-7069, context is set to 
parkedcalls.  In extensions.conf I just "include => parkedcalls"

When I dial 7000 from my desk phone (which used to render a parking location 
and then play hold music), I get this on the CLI:

    -- Executing [7...@from-local-sip:1] Park("SIP/7411b-081e28b8", "") in new 
stack
    -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on SIP/7411b-081e28b8
  == Parked SIP/7411b-081e28b8 on 7...@parkedcalls. Will timeout back to 
extension [from-local-sip] s, 1 in 3600 seconds
    -- Added extension '7060' priority 1 to parkedcalls
  == Spawn extension (from-local-sip, s, 1) exited KEEPALIVE on 
'SIP/7411b-081e28b8'

So, it seems it is using Park() but for some reason it just doesn't read back 
the location.

How is your features.conf set up?  Do you have a "Parking" function in your 
dialplan?  The answer that comes to mind is that you are somehow using 
parkandannounce instead of park and something is just mis-coded.  In my shop, I 
have hints registered, so "core show hints" will tell me which "lots" are in 
use, but some here consider that a hack.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Call parking



All,

Quick question that hopefully someone out there will know the answer to...

We were previously running Asterisk 1.4.(something) (I forget which one) on 
Debian.  Due to an office move, I am temporarily routing our calls through an 
Ubuntu box that I have.  It runs Asterisk 1.4.17-dfsg-2ubuntu1 (basically, what 
came with Ubuntu.)

Here's the problem I am having: We are using Polycom 500's and 501's..  
previously (on the Debian system), to park a call, we could transfer it to 
extension 7000 (we use 4-digit extensions.)  Asterisk would read back the 
parking space number, then we complete the transfer.  No problem.

On this new system, Asterisk is not reading back the number.  Instead, it 
simply starts playing hold music.  If you complete the transfer, a "show 
parkedcalls" will show the call as parked (and you can retrieve it.)  However, 
my users have no way of knowing where their calls are being parked.

Anyone have any idea as to why it would stop reading back the parking location? 
 I do have the digit sounds installed (in several formats, also.)  No luck 
there.  It's almost as if Asterisk is seeing it as a blind transfer instead of 
a supervised one.  Oh, and I can set up a code for it in features.conf and dial 
that while on the phone (I set the feature code to *8) .. when I do that, it 
will read back the location and park the call.  However, that feature doesn't 
seem to work for me for all calls (such as calls coming in via a queue, etc.)

I'm sure it's something simple, but I've been pulling my hair out searching for 
anyone else having this problem and haven't had any luck.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

     Jeremy
