[Asterisk-Users] Call roll-over question...

[Brian R. Swan]

Hi all,

Thanks everyone who replied for their help.  I wanted to post and describe my 
"final" config in case anyone in the future wants to accomplish something 
similar.

Here's my "Standard extension" macro:

exten => s,1,Dial(${ARG2},15)
exten => s,2,Voicemail(u${ARG1})
exten => s,3,Hangup
exten => s,102,Dial(${ARG3},15)
exten => s,103,Voicemail(b${ARG1})
exten => s,104,Hangup
exten => s,203,Voicemail(b${ARG1})
exten => s,204,Hangup

And the line that calls the macro.

exten => 2001,1,Macro(stdexten,2001,SIP/2001,SIP/3001)

So, with call waiting turned off on the Cisco phone, I can call 2001, and if 
it's busy it will roll over to 3001.  If they're both busy is will go to 
Voicemail.  As a side note, I opted to not make the 3001 extension direct 
dialable (is that a word?).  So,  any calls to 3001 will just get a re-order, 
however, calls can still be placed from 3001.

Again, thanks everyone for their help with my config!
