[Asterisk-Users] cisco phone and parked calls

[Joe Antkowiak]

So, I can't figure out how to get the parkandannounce application to
work the way I want it to...  I have cisco 7960 IP phones using SIP,
and this is what I have in my extensions.conf:

exten => 700,1,ParkAndAnnounce(pbx-transfer:PARKED|90|SIP/${EXTEN:1}|internal,${EXTEN:1},1)
exten => 700,2,Hangup

and in my parking.conf:

[general]
parkext => 700                          ; What ext. to dial to park
parkpos => 701-720                      ; What extensions to park calls on
context => parkedcalls                  ; Which context parked calls are in
parkingtime => 180                      


In order for the person parking the call to hear what parked extension
the call is on, they have to do the transfer by pressing # and dialing
700.  When the user uses the transfer function on the cisco phone, it
still correctly parks the call, but never tells the person what
extension its parked on.

Also, for some reason, I had to create that 700 extension, it always
complains that it can't find 700 when I don't do that, even though
parkedcalls is included in the internal context...

Any suggestions?
