RE: [Asterisk-Users] x100p / Answer-> Flash -> Dial

Title: Message

Dan,   This will probably not work.  Once Asterisk tells the Panasonic PBX to transfer the call, the call will no longer go through the extension the Asterisk PBX is attached to.  It seems the only solution to this (doing it the way you are) is to have two zaptel cards in the Asterisk PBX, attache them to two extensions of the Panasonic PBX and the calls come in one extension and then are sent out the other KEEPING BOTH BUSY as long as the call is in progress.  As Sam said, you will really need to have an intelligent connection to the Panasonic PBX to do this on much more than a single call at a time basis.   Disclaimer: I am an Asterisk Newbie, though I have been following it for several years, my hands on experience is about a week old.   Andy Farnsworth   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sam Bingner Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2004 10:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] x100p / Answer-> Flash -> Dial Even if you could get that to work properly, which I dont know... the callprogress detection is horrible; if you want to do that reliably you need a T1,ISDN or IP interface to the switch (something that actually provides proper call progress)   Sam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Fernandez Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2004 11:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] x100p / Answer-> Flash -> Dial   I have an X100P connected to an extension of a Panasonic PBX. When a call from the PSTN comes in, it is routed directly to the extension where the x100p is . I want * to answer the call, play a message and then transfer the call to another extension via the Zap channel where the call was received (I need to flash the zap channel) . If this extension doesn't answer I want then to dial an IAX channel. The problem is that when I do a Flash on the zap channel, and then try to dial a new extension via that zap channel I get the following error "can't create zap channel".     If I do a SendDTMF(XXXX) the call does get transfer  to the new extension but then * gets out of the call loop and don't know it is answered or not by the new extension.   Am I missing something? Why am I getting the "can't creat za channel"   Thanks in advance.   Dan
