So I played around with that script all morning and managed to get it working!!
So now I can define page groups and current calls will not be put on hold when I page.
Here is my page.agi file (Perl AGI interface required):
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# page.agi - Original file was allpage.agi by Rob Thomas 2005.
# With parts of allcall.agi Original file by John Baker
# Modified by Adam Boeglin to allow for paging sccp phones
#Modified/Updated by Jeremy Betts 6/1/2006 for improved efficiency..
# We now use AGI to set the dialplan variable.. much smarter!

#
# page.agi will find all available sip & sccp phones
# it then sets the dialplan variable PAGE_GROUP to allow
# the phones to be paged with the Page cmd.
#
# This works with both my aastra, polycom, sipura/linksys and cisco sccp phones.
# It should be easily modified for other sip phones
#
# Documentation:
# Add something similar to your dialplan,arguments are extensions to
# to be excluded from the page. Use just the extension numbers.
#
#exten => *61,1,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute) = 15)
#exten => *61,n,AGI(page.agi|EXT1&EXT2&EXT3)
#exten => *61,n,Set(_ALERT_INFO="Ring Answer")
#exten => *61,n,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info: answer-after=0)
#exten => *61,n,Page(${PAGE_GROUP})
#exten => *61,n,Hangup()
#
#
#
#use Asterisk::AGI;
use Asterisk::AGI;
$AGI = new Asterisk::AGI;
# set our array of phones that we will NOT be paging
@included = @ARGV;
# Get our needed info for idle sip & sccp phones
@sips = grep(/^\s+\d+.*/, `asterisk -rx "show hints"`);
# Now check each phone to see if it's in use and also
# against our exclude list. If it passes both, it's
# added to our array of calls to make
# Then set the dialplan variable thru AGI
foreach $sipline (@sips) {
my ($junk0, $exten, $junk1, $chan, $state, $junk2) = split(/ +/, $sipline,6);
my ($type, $extension) = split(/\//,$chan,2);
if (grep(/$extension/, @included)) {
unless (($state ne "State:Idle")) {
if ($type eq "SCCP") {
my $SCCP = $chan . "/aa=1wu/ringer=outside";
push(@mypage,$SCCP);
} else {
push(@mypage,"$chan");
}
}
}
}
$page = join("&",@mypage);
$AGI->set_variable("PAGE_GROUP", "$page");
exit;
And here is what I added to my extensions.conf file:
exten => *61,1,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute) = 15)
exten => *61,n,AGI(page.agi|0201&0202&0203)
exten => *61,n,Set(_ALERT_INFO="Ring Answer")
exten => *61,n,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info: answer-after=0)
exten => *61,n,Page(${PAGE_GROUP})
exten => *61,n,Hangup()
