[asterisk-users] Call parking with Polycom's - works but MOH stops in one scenario

[Bill Gibbs]

501s, 601s running 1.6.5

Asterisk 1.2.10

NAT

Logs at the bottom of the email

Using AMP or FreePBX for the config files

 

Here's what's happening:

 

Call comes in

Answer the call

 

On the Polycom

Hit Transfer (person calling in hears MOH just fine)

Enter park extension (my case - 190)

Listen to the digits being read back, ie 191

 

Now here's where it gets odd

 

1) If I wait after the digits are read back MOH starts on the Polycom

At this point if I hit Transfer (complete the attended transfer
obviously) to send the call to the park, MOH stops on the phone calling
in.  However parking continues to work, including ring back...so other
than the MOH stopping (which I assume has to do something with Asterisk
not thinking the phone is on hold anymore?) the park feature works fine.

Basically if I wait too long it never initiates the MOH again to the
parked call however - is this because Asterisk thinks it's now on a
"real" extension hence no MOH (which may be why it plays back MOH if I
transfer the call to the park extension in the first place????)

The call DOES show up in "show parkedcalls" though so Asterisk obviously
knows it is parked.

 

2) Now if I hit Transfer quickly after the digits are read back
(basically before it finishes the last digit but enough for me to know
what it is), MOH continues on the person who is parked (which is the
behavior I want)  Park pickup/ringback works fine....and the logs show
this

 

3) Blind transfer -MOH always works but not what I want since the person
who put it on Park now doesn't know what extension to pick it up

 

I also see in the logs after the final "transfer"

    -- Incoming call: Got SIP response 500 "Internal Server Error" back
from 192.168.1.100

No matter if I hit Transfer the 2nd time quickly or wait for MOH to
start

 

On a side note, anyone ever get the Polycom "call-park" and Park softkey
feature to work?  There doesn't seem to be any documentation about it
and hitting the button does nothing.

 

Music on hold plays (transfer quick, just before the last digit is read
back)

Notice the MOH starts for the parked call after the ZOMBIE lines

so I see how it started, then stopped, then started MOH again

 

now if I do it after I wait after the last digit is read and then hit
Transfer here's the log output:

It never initiates the MOH - is this because Asterisk thinks it's now on
a "real" extension hence no MOH

Notice how the started MOH is initiated BEFORE the lines about the
ZOMBIE stuff than above where it worked
