Help with call parking

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I cant get it to work, im talking to someone and press the # and nothing happens, i know the dtmf works ok. heres my parking.conf

[general]
parkext => 700 ; What ext. to dial to park
parkpos => 701-720 ; What extensions to park calls on
context => parkedcalls ; Which context parked calls are in
;parkingtime => 45 ; Number of seconds a call can be parked for (default is 45 seconds)

then under extensions.conf all the way at the bottom i have this line:

include => parkedcalls

Am i missing anything?

thanks.

you need to hit # followed by 700.

Actually ive been on a system which has worked and after youpress the # 700 it will say the placed parked like 701 in my case, when i do # i hear nothing.

;findslot => next ; Continue to the ‘next’ parking space. Defaults to ‘first’ available
;pickupexten = *8 ; Configure the pickup extension. Default is *8

[featuremap]

I think the default keystroke for blind transfer changed in Asterisk 1.2 and is no longer just #. Try #1 as listed in the featuremap section.

If this does not work uncomment

;blindxfer => #1 ; Blind transfer

and reload and try again.

tried that, still no go :frowning:

make sure T or t is in the Dial command. see voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Dial

this is how i have it since all my extensions start with a 26

exten => _26X.,2,Dial(Sip/${EXTEN},30,tT)

but nothing happens when i do # .

Uncomment : blindxfer => #1 ; Blind transfer

and use #1
