AMI Redirect Both Calls From A Bridge

Doe anybody know of a way to redirect both channels from a bridge to different dial plan extensions from the using the AMI.

Currently, as soon as I redirect one of the channels the other appears to be dropped and gets reorder tone (congestion, fast busy).

I guess what I really need is a way to redirect one of the channels and hold on to the other.

Thanks,
Neil Cherry

  • Please disregard for now, I have found some documentation the refers to an extra channel on the Redirect action.

    I will try that.

    I think You have to do it in two steps. First connect both legs with a conference and then connect each one with the final extension.

    You didn’t tell, which version of asterisk You are using. In 11 and later there is the new conference module, which makes it easier.

    In the first step You can use AMI REDIRECT to transfer both parties into one dynamic conference. Use the Channel and ExtraChannel to take both channels.

    In the second step use AMI Join Events to trigger your next transfer to the different extensions in Your dialplan. Each channel joining the conference will generate a separate event.

  • Thank you for your response.

    I am using Asterisk 11.

    My issue was simpler than your solution, in that I was simply able to use the ExtraChannel on the Redirect command to send the second channel directly to the second exten and not have it dropped. My problem was that I did not realize that I could use the “Extra” fields in the redirect command.

    The scenario was while two channels are in a bridge (call) I want to put one on hold and supply dial tone to the other. I have an exten toredirect the on hold channel to and a dial tone exten to redirect the other channel to, but I was trying to do each in a separate redirect instead of combining them in one redirect action.

    Thanks for you help,
