Hangup call after Z seconds

Asterisk Asterisk General
1

Hi everyone,

I am looking for to implement the following situation in my asterisk dialplan:

Caller XXX calls my number YYY which is hosted on my ASTERISK.
The SIP INVITE message has a custom header with the call duration Z in seconds (eg. 300 seconds). When the call duration reach Z, Asterisk automatically Hangup the call.

Is it feasable ? How ?

Thank you.

Yes you should be able to do this.

You can read headers with the SIP_HEADER function

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Function_SIP_HEADER

and you can set an absolute timeout on the call with the TIMEOUT function

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Function_TIMEOUT

Putting the two together would look like:

exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=${SIP_HEADER(X-Custom-Timeout)})

Is posible that you need the CUT function also to get the right values from the header function

Using local channel and Dial() command with the L(x[:y][:z]) option nd passing the value from the variable extracted from the custom header tag

Limits call duration to x milliseconds. At y ms before the maximum allowed duration, and thereafter every z ms until the end of the call, a warning is given. The x must be defined, y and z are optional. The behavior can be further controlled with the following variables:
