[Asterisk-Users] Attended xfer

[Mark Benson]

I've been going round in circles looking for user documentation for 
asterisk. There is plenty of documentation for setting it up (which I've 
done) but what I can't seem to find is an explanation of how to actually 
use it, specifically with regard to transferring calls.

I am running 1.0.5 and can happily blind xfer from extension to 
extension, but I can't blind xfer. I have read various snippets about #2 
or #8 or other such key combos, but nothing seems to let me do attended 
xfer.

I have budgetone 102s that have an xfer button that puts incoming calls 
on hold but then sits with a dial tone and no matter what extension I 
dial it does nothing. Blind xfer with the # key works ok.

 From xlite I can blind xfer without problem but no attended xfer.

Can anyone tell me what I should be doing to do attended xfer?

As for the alternative to attended xfer, parking calls, I'm guessing 
this is just a case of blind xfering calls to a parking extension?

Cheers for any help.
