Dialplan config error - cant park calls

Asterisk Asterisk Dialplan
1

I am attempting to enable call parking (and hopefully call forwarding using MMI codes). I modified my extensions, features and sip.config files. But i do not believe I have the extensions or sip configured properly.

Phones can make calls, but i don’t think i have them authorized to use call parking correctly in the extensions file. These are mobiles not SIP phones.

Can anyone help me with understanding what I am doing wrong with my configuration?

#72 does nothing. I dont think i have DTFM assigned to phones, but since these are mobiles I dont understand how to give them permission through extensions.conf

I understand the user needs to be given permission with dial t and T, but don’t understand how to assign permission properly.

Also, asterisk 1.8

parkedcalls should be included in the context or contexts where the numbers can actually be dialled, not in globals.

No DTMF features are enabled in any of your Dial application calls.

The mobile phone air interface sends DTMF out of band and regenerates it in the base station (the GSM codec is incapable of accurately representing DTMF). In your case it may be translated from air interface to RFC 4733 without a tone actually being generated.

Normal gripe about using type=friend and canreinvite, when one is not the best choice and the other is a deprecated name.

Your allow comments are mixed up.

You haven’t marked up the dialplan code properly for the forum.

I’d strongly advise learning how to use Asterisk on a hard wired system before doing anything for which you need a transmitting licence.

as per usual, I really appreciate the response. I have been only using asterix for a couple weeks now. so being able to bounce ideas of someone experienced is very helpful.

first, so context => parkedcalls should be in the [phones] context? I thought [global] served as a catch all so to speak for all contexts

what do you mean about gripe for type=friend?and canreinvite is an obsolete parameter (using asterisk 1.8.3)?

I thought i enabled DTMF with features.conf…parkedcall = #71. So i would have to add an extension in features.conf using the dial application to callup DTMF?

Also, what is the markup for the forum? I dont see any type of FAQ for the etiquette. im building a hardwired environment to learn asterisk from using soft phones, but learning the mobile side is something i have to pick up as well.

Globals is for global variables in extensions.conf. The normal default section is general, but there isn’t one in extensions.conf.

canreinvite was replaced by directmedia at least half a decade ago. type=friend makes the system less secure and can cause calls on trunks to be mis-detected as locally originated calls. There are cases when it is needed, but you should not use it unless you do need it.

features.conf says what codes are used when the feature is enabled, but you have to enable it for each party in the call. (Otherwise, directmedia=yes would never work, as well as security problems with outside callers using features they shouldn’t access.)

It is not normal to include how to use the forum software in forum etiquette guides. It should be obvious that badly formatted quotations are not useful. You can hover over the various forum markup tools to see what they do, and this particular issue has come up so often today that just reading other posting would tell you. Specifically you need to use the </> button. I think you will find all forum software has something similar, although the way of invoking it may be different.
