Ring two extensions

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hello,

I am having problems setting up my asterisk server to ring two extensions at the same time. I have two analog phone extensions (on S101i devices) that I have added to the iax.conf file, and added to my extensions.conf file.

I am able to properly ring each extension, but I cannot seem to get the asterisk server to ring both extensions. I would like my extension 3206 to ring when 3207 rings…

Here is a sample of my extensions.conf file…

exten => 3201,1,Macro(extensions,3201,3200) exten => 3202,1,Macro(extensions,3202,3200) exten => 3203,1,Macro(extensions,3203,3200) exten => 3204,1,Macro(extensions,3204,3200) exten => 3205,1,Macro(extensions,3205,3205) exten => 3207,1,Dial(extensions-iax,analogshopphone,3206,3206) exten => 3206,1,Macro(extensions-iax,analogshopphone,3206,3206) exten => 3207,1,Macro(extensions-iax,analogfax3207,3207,3207)

The correct format to dial multiple channels is to combine them with &, e.g., Dial(${phone3206}&${phone3207}), where variable phone3206 holds the channel specification of the phone at 3206, and so on.

Thanks for the reply… so for my example above would I put this?

exten => 3201,1,Macro(extensions,3201,3200) exten => 3202,1,Macro(extensions,3202,3200) exten => 3203,1,Macro(extensions,3203,3200) exten => 3204,1,Macro(extensions,3204,3200) exten => 3205,1,Macro(extensions,3205,3205) exten => 3207,1,Dial(${3206}&${3207}) exten => 3206,1,Macro(extensions-iax,analogshopphone,3206,3206) exten => 3207,1,Macro(extensions-iax,analogfax3207,3207,3207)

If you have set up those variables before these priorities (e.g., as globals), yes. (Not sure about all-numeric vaiable name, though.)

They are defined below in a macro… I think I have found what I need to do… My one question left is do i need to have two entries in a dialplan for extension 3207, as I do below? Or can I take out he bottom 3207 entry…

exten => 3205,1,Macro(extensions,3205,3205) exten => 3207,1,Dial(IAX2/${extensions-iax,analogshopphone,3206,3206}|60&IAX2/${extensions-iax,analogfax3207,3207,3207}|60) exten => 3206,1,Macro(extensions-iax,analogshopphone,3206,3206) exten => 3207,1,Macro(extensions-iax,analogfax3207,3207,3207)

(or dialplan show if 1.4) will tell you that Asterisk has taken the second 3207 entry out.

thanks for the help valley. I picked up an asterisk book, and read it. I’m smrter now and understand the contexts! In the end, all I did need was an “&” to make two extensions ring.
