Can't get any \in call"star codes to be recognized! Using ATA."""

Posted by BobRafferty on Fri, 03/27/2009

Here is my situation. I am using MTE. I have an Analog Telephone connected to a Linksys PAP2T-NA. I am trying to find a way to transfer a call to an extension and/or phone number.

My problem is that when I press *33 or *34 (or any key for that matter)... Asterisk is not doing anything... The CLI shows no indication that I pressed anything or that it was doing anything.

Thanks in advance for any help!

features.conf:

[general]
parkext => 700 ; What extension to dial to park
parkpos => 701-704 ; What extensions to park calls on. These needs to be
; numeric, as Asterisk starts from the start position
; and increments with one for the next parked call.
context => parkedcalls ; Which context parked calls are in
parkingtime => 180 ; Number of seconds a call can be parked for
; (default is 45 seconds)
transferdigittimeout => 3 ; Number of seconds to wait between digits when transfering a call
courtesytone = beep ; Sound file to play to the parked caller
; when someone dials a parked call
xfersound = beep ; to indicate an attended transfer is complete
xferfailsound = beeperr ; to indicate a failed transfer
;adsipark = yes ; if you want ADSI parking announcements
;findslot => next ; Continue to the 'next' free parking space.
; Defaults to 'first' available
pickupexten = ** ; Configure the pickup extension. Default is *8
featuredigittimeout = 1000 ; Max time (ms) between digits for
; feature activation. Default is 500

[featuremap]
blindxfer => *34 ; Blind transfer
atxfer => *33 ; Attended transfer
disconnect => #0 ; Disconnect
automon => #9 ; One Touch Record

[applicationmap]
; Note that the DYNAMIC_FEATURES channel variable must be set to use the features
; defined here. The value of DYNAMIC_FEATURES should be the names of the features
; to allow the channel to use separated by '#'. For example:
; Set(DYNAMIC_FEATURES=myfeature1#myfeature2#myfeature3)
;
;testfeature => #9,callee,Playback,tt-monkeys ;Play tt-monkeys to
;callee if #9 was pressed

by default, ATA's have their own star codes mapped to sip functions. If you want to use these you will have to program the ATA to allow for it. Some ATA's will pass it, others have to have theirs disabled first. Additionally to use the codes in features.conf the Dial command has to have those flags set...
