[Asterisk-Users] Parking extension not working

[Walt Reed]

I just got parking to work after reading your message. 

My parking.conf looks like this:
[general]
parkext => 701               ; What ext. to dial to park
parkpos => 702-720           ; What extensions to park calls on
context => parkedcalls       ; Which context parked calls are in
parkingtime => 120           ; Number of seconds a call can be parked for (default is 45 seconds)

In sip.conf, my ATA 186's have context=sip, so In extensions.conf
I needed to have:
include => parkedcalls

in my [sip] context.

During a call, I hit # (it prompts me "Transfer") and then I dial 701.
It tells me "702" (for example.) Then I hang up.

If I pick up another extension and dial 702, I'm connected to the parked
call with no prompting.

In order to dial 3 digit extensions quicker without a digit timeout, I
added a rule to my ata 186 dial plan that matches the parking range.

Hope this helps!
