Asterisk Proxying A REFER

Hello, we are using Asterisk with Adhearsion as our application server, with another Asterisk box acting as the office PBX, where all office phones are registered.

A REFER to transfer calls within the office results in the Adhearsion application call being dropped, because the leg between the PBX and the app server is terminated by the PBX following the REFER. Is there a way to configure Asterisk 11 to proxy a refer across a bridge instead of following it, so the application server can follow it instead?

Best regards,

Luca Pradovera

  • Hey Luca –

    Unfortunately, there is not a simple or easy configuration setting that tells Asterisk to proxy the REFER request through. Generally, Asterisk doesn’t like proxying anything.

    There may still be another way to handle this issue, depending on the setup. Can you provide a bit more information about the channels on the PBX/Adhearsion server, who sends the REFER request, and what happens explicitly in the scenario?

    Matt
