[Asterisk-Users] Using a group variable for a groupofextension to dial

[Wiley E. Siler]

Actually doing both sounds good to me.  Can you explain further about
ringing them all at once?
Here is how I tried to make mine work and failed...

{global} 
PHONES0=SIP/2000
PHONES1=SIP/2001

[local]

exten => 6001,1,Dial(${PHONES0&PHONES1),20,trf)

When I dial 6001 I see my debugger tell me that I am using the wrong
syntax.

Do you know the correct syntax for ringing them all at once?

I will check out the queue system you referenced.

Thanks!
Wiley

It would ring all three at the same time. You are probably looking for a
roundrobin call queue ->
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+call+queues

I have never set up a call queue myself so I can't help you more than
pointing you to the link. You could also do what you want with just the
dialplan...

exten => 501,1,Dial(SIP/Phone1,10)
exten => 501,2,Dial(SIP/Phone2,10)
exten => 501,3,Dial(SIP/Phone3,10)

That would ring phone 1 for ten seconds, if it wasn't answered it would
ring phone 2 for ten seconds, etc...
