One modification to my previous dialplan:
[hotdesk_outbound]
includes (via cascade) internal-calls

exten => .X,1,NoOp()
…snip do stuff to determine who’s calling, set their extension number to WHO…
same => n,Set(GROUP(activecalls)=${WHO})
same => n,Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:${WHO})=INUSE)
…snip make the call…

Needs to be:
[hotdesk_outbound]
includes (via cascade) internal-calls

exten => .X,1,NoOp()
…snip do stuff to determine who’s calling, set their extension number to WHO…
same => n,Set(GROUP(activecallers)=${WHO})
same => n,Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:${WHO})=INUSE)
…snip make the call…

And similarly, all checks or use of GROUP_COUNT(${WHO}@activecalls) should be changed to GROUP_COUNT(${WHO}@activecallers). I missed the fact that setting GROUP(activecalls)=${E} later on in my dialplan was overwriting the GROUP(activecalls)=${WHO} for intra-office calls, and thus breaking my ability to see that the person placing the intra-office call was “on another line” if a second call rang their phone or what have you.

The dialplan device state check above is not always going to work
because another call could park in that space between the check
and the actual park. The device state check in this case is
also unnecessary because Park will continue executing dialplan if
the park fails.

You could try three parkinglots with one parking space each. Each
phone park button would transfer the call to a different parkinglot.
Then all you need to do is include the parkinglot context(s) into your
dialplan context to have access to the generated parking extensions.

Please note that for Asterisk to detect an extension as a parking
extension, the first priority of the extension must be the park
application. If the park application is not the first priority of
the extension, then the transfer is treated as a normal transfer.

Hi guys,
I am trying to make a trunk between two asterisk system SIP Trunk on Asterisk 1.6
but I cannt make it work, can any body help me plz?
Thank you

Spanish/Español:

Hola a Tod@s,

Estoy en la implementación de una solución a medida en la cual requerimos conectarnos vía SIP a un IMG de DIalogic y salir hacia otras centrales (MSC) vía SS7, la conexión entre Asterisk y el IMG es SIP, pero como requerimiento necesito enviar un NOA (Nature of Address) con valor 8 por requerimientos normativos, hasta ahora no he podido encontrar como puedo enviar dicho valor sobre SIP, asumo que existirá algún parámetro en las cabeceras del Invite, pero no me ha funcionado nada, ya que el NOA siempre lo recibe el IMG y las demás centrales con valor 3.

Cualquier ayuda sobre como forzar el NOA a 8 sobre la troncal SIP se las agradezco mucho.

El escenario:

Asterisk < ----SIP----> IMG Dialogic < --------SS7--------> MSC

Un Saludo!

English/Ingles:

Hi Everyone,

I’m implementing a custom solution in which we require to connect via SIP a Dialogic IMG with Asterisk and make calls to other MSC via SS7, to connect Asterisk and IMG we have a SIP trunk, but now i need to send the NOA (Nature of Address ) with value 8 for regulatory requirements, so far I couldn’t find how can i send the NOA value on SIP, I assume that there will be some parameters on the Invite headers, but nothing had worked so far, because the NOA always get to the IMG in 3.

Thanks for any help on how to force the NOA value to 8 on the SIP trunk.

The Scenario:

Asterisk < ----SIP----> IMG Dialogic < --------SS7--------> MSC

Regards!
