How To Manage Remote Agents With Queue

Hello,

I’ve got a small install with Asterisk 11. This box is connected to PSTN through a SIP trunk.

I need to add a cellular phone as a remote agent of an existing queue.

At the moment, this queue is configured according a ringall strategy and busy agent can be dialed.

My plan is :
1- to create a remote-agent context and insert a Wait statement into it so that local agents would get dialed ahead of remote agents.
2- to avoid dialing remote agents already on call (with local phones) by hanging up calls in remote-agent context when conditions are met.
3- use local channels such as Local/123@remote-agent

My questions relate to the above point 2. Though I don’t need at the moment, which state interface can I use to tell Queue application a (SIP) remote agent is Busy or not ?

Regards
