[Asterisk-Users] Parking extension not working

[Sean Garland]

Okay, lets start over...  I have basically a simple parking.conf, I use
701 as the parkext because of Andy Powells suggestion, I use a range of
702-710.  I have in my [sip] context and include => default and in the
[default] context, I have the stock include => localcalls which has on
include => parkedcalls.  When asterisk is loaded and I type show
dialplan at the console, I get a list of what appears to be all the
extensions available to me and their respective contexts.  Nowhere in
that list is an extension 701.  Now when a call comes in, my Polycom
phone rings and I answer it.  If I want to park the call I press the
conference button, and type 701, which then gives me a busy signal for a
few seconds, and the call is terminated.  I ran a sip debug and did the
same procedure, and I can see that the polycom phone requests extension
701 at ipaddress but then there is a 404 not found error.  Am I doing
something wrong in the transfer procedure?  When I dial # on the polycom
phone I get an instant busy, which I assume means that my phone doesn't
like that digit.

So maybe my question should be, is anyone using polycom sip phones and
able to use the parked call feature?

I don't think you can transfer to a park extension directly.  In other
words, you transfer to the parking lot ( default exten 700 ) and
Asterisk parks the call in whichever parking space is available.  Then
Asterisk reads back the number of the parking space.  On my system, with
700 as the park extension and 701-720 as parking spaces, I get the
message "Sorry, there is no call parked on that extension" if I try to
transfer to 701 which is what I would expect since it's only exten 700
which has the special park functionality.
