Orbit/Park timeout to ring all extensions?

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Aloha,

Things are moving along quite well, and I appreciate all the help I have received. I have one problem left, and hoping that you can all help me out once again.

I need to configure our remote Asterisk server to ring all phones when a parked/orbited call times out. The default is set to ring the phone that transferred the call into orbit. There’s no guarantee that someone will be at the originating extension when the call timeouts, and there is no receptionist/full time attended extension.

Is this even possible? If so, can someone point me in the direction I should be looking?

Much thanks in advance,
Herb

I already have an extension that rings all phones, so I just need to set that as the default for the park/orbit timeout.

Again if that’s possible.

Thanks!

I found what I was looking for. I have a mixed set of documentation 1.2/1.4 and it took me a bit to find the 1.4 documentation on features.conf.

I have set comebacktoorigin = no in features.conf.

And this is my extensions.conf
[parkedcallstimeout]
include => default
exten => s,1,Dial(${EXTEN},60,tTkK)

But calls are still only ringing back the originating extension.

Thanks again!

Last post for today.

I have added:
[parkedcallstimeout]
exten => s,1,Dial(${EXTEN},60,tTkK)

to both extensions.conf and features.conf and I still can’t seem to get the timeout to ring back to the extensions I want.

I will continue to work on this, but looking for any insight that would help.

Aloha,
Herb

I could not get this feature to work with versions 1.4.22.2 and 1.4.24 however, I downloaded 1.6.1-rc3 and this feature works correctly.
